We have two podcasts for the 16th.
Tutorial 16 October 2011a and
Tutorial 16 October 2011 b.
This file was so big that I had to split it into 2.
This has taken longer than expected.
I spent Monday driving to Scotland and back to take a handicapped sister-in-law to her brother - she spends some time with us and some with her brothers.
On Tuesday, Sarah, my youngest daughter, who, with her husband, is taking 16 months out to travel the world, returned unexpectedly.
Both my wife and Sarah's mother-in-law have birthdays around now.
They had been in Australia and were heading for South America, but decided to do the trip via Manchester.
As you can imagine, we have had more to do than mess about with podcasts.
