Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by

webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the return of the unexplained.

Thank you very much for keeping the faith with the show, thank you for keeping your contacts

coming in.

I'm going to mention some of your emails in just a moment but had so many of those lately.

And yes, there has been a bit of a gap since the last show.

Thank you for your concern, variety of reasons for that.

One going situation with my dad and thank you again for your good wishes about him.

He's been well cared for in a home, in Southport, on Mercyside at the moment.

He's not as mobile as he might be, his communication is slightly better but it's a long-term process

but we still have him and I'm going to be grateful every day for that.

But thank you for your good wishes about my dad.

In my own situation, life and work continue extremely tough.

There's a more difficult perhaps than they've ever been work wise but we carry on and

also in the last week or so to make matters worse, a lot of people in London seem to have

this some viral bug that attacks the chest and the throat and I had exactly that and it

kept me silent for pretty much a week and I still have a sore throat with this thing.

So if you're suffering with this, if you're in England or wherever you are, you have my

sympathy because I don't think because it's viral there's anything at all you can take

for it.

And I've taken just about everything I've had paracetamol today, I'm back at work on

the radio but paracetamol, what else did I take?
