Some further news about Dave Hughes, I received the following email from his brother:-

"he is still in Sheffield Hallamshire hospital but is starting to make a little progress , he has been off the machines now for a couple of weeks but its taken its toll, he has a trackie tube in his throat to enable him to breathe and every day or so they block it to allow him to talk to his wife but he is having trouble controlling his breathing, what with every thing that was going on at the time when he was critical the doctors think he suffered a stroke on top of everything else which has left him with very little movement ( leg and fingers) i spoke to his son yesterday and the doc's are looking at transferring him back to a hospital near to his home which is a forward step as its about a 40 mile round trip every day for his wife and means that he doesnt need the specialist care that the Hallam provide"
its not great news but at least he is fighting it

Happy belated birthday greetings Alan, glad you finally arrived home. If we'd have been delayed any longer we could have celebrated 3 birthdays in Greece. As for "sleep to catch up on" - you've had enough sleep in the past 2 weeks to beat Rip van Winkle's record I hope you managed to try the tram in Manchester on the way home.
