... has finally arrived home after 15 days, after telephoning San Francisco (and getting a personal phone call at 3 am 2 days ago!), and London yesterday.

All seems to be in the same shape as it was packed - though very squashed! Unpacking and washing starts tomorrow after a really good night's sleep.

Thank you to all who let me rant and rave and commiserated with me. I really have appreciated all your kindness and support.
