Thank you for the kind words I shall be so glad to have our stuff back, even though we left behind the things we thought we could manage without....especially if they were heavy. Among them is my SLR digi camera: I've felt lost without it, as if my right arm has been cut off. And the heaviest thing of all - and there was absolutely no way we could have managed it on the trains and through the underground - is the bag containing all my folk dance instruction cards ...all 1500+ of them!!! Even though I have them all on the computer, and most of the dances are to be found in my collection of 150+ books, I've felt absolutely bereft and as if I'd lost my left arm.

See, I told you I'm 'armless
