From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 21/11/2011.

Conjunction Advisory:
NASA/MCC-H is tracking a conjunction with Object 31907 (Fengyun 1C satellite debris) with TCA (Time of Closest Approach) tomorrow (11/22) at 7:17 PM GMT, about 20 hours after today's scheduled undocking of Soyuz TMA-02M/27S. The conjunction is currently classified as Low Concern, primarily because this object has not been seen for the last ~15 days.

Satoshi Furukawa has been tweeting his MDs perspective on the return to gravity:
Quote
Right after landing, I felt great, but my body was like a jellyfish. My body’s center of gravity was not clear to me. Hard to stand & walk.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the landing thread, but I thought it was interesting to read a first hand account.
