Manley's missive

Another hectic week and another week closer to the ice!
The team took a bit of a blow this week with Rupert in hospital with
pneumonia! He was as week as a kitten, but with more refined toilet
habits (just)! Took him and us all quite by surprise and made it tough
for Tanya all week. He is back at home now and recovering. We need him
fit and strong.
Steve "Ahoy" Walton has gone to sea - literally! He is skippering one
of the Navy yachts back across the Atlantic at the end of its round
the world trip - so my team is a tad light this week!! Typical Steve -
the crews have been roughing it all around the globe and he jumps on
for the glory leg - Royal reception and loads of champers on arrival.
When I look back at the activity of each week, it amazes me that I
have enough time to see my family - My wife would suggest I don't!
This is just a shorty.
Speak soon.
Hurrah
Manley
