Stop the world a sec...I need a rest!

Well folks this has been a medically challenged kinda few weeks.

Mac's throat was bad so we did 5 days of shows without one of the male voclists but it all went well.

Zoë developed appendicitis this week and had to be flown off the ship to have an operation. It involved a helicopter and a cute swedish paramedic guy :) She is now in recovery in Scotland so all prayers and mojo sent in her direction for a speedy recovery and return to the fold would be much appreciated!

After a particularly stressful 'day at sea' (which included a 8 1/2 hour stint without a break!) I nearly exploded at the cast and have spent the subsequent days having heart palpatations. Eventually got to see the Dr yesterday and she thinks I may have a thyroid problem!? Both my parents have had them (Mum over and Dad Under) so it wouldn't surprise knowing my luck! - you'd have thought mine should have been fine really!) Anyhoo, she's given me some form of beta blocker to sort my heart out and, when I get home, if she still thinks that's the problem, I guess I'll have to go for the obligatory blood tests....great....

And just generally we seem to have the most accident prone group of passengers ever this week!

Other than that everythings going well. This is our last cruise to Russia and then the last around the Fjords next week and I think it's starting to hit home just how little time we have left - eek.

Missing folks at home lots - if you're reading this guys have a cup of tea and biscuit for me!!!!!
