Jeff has taken two tyres to Kwik-fit right now..

We will put his wheelchair in the van in case of need.

The beer might arrive tomorrow.

I'm making the shopping list tonight.

The fridge got down to -5 last night so that will do.
The heater is working.
The water is working.
The grill oven and rings are working.
The tail lights on the car are working.


Unless anything else can go wrong, in which case it probably will - see you Thursday.

Just so you all know whats a happenin'
As a carry on to the wedding at the weekend, I have made some arrangments.
The campsite at Miskin will be available at least from Thursday morning, please P.M. me for details etc. It is Toby's 21st actually on the Thursday so lots of excuses for an early start. The bar is licenced and food arranged. We will of course still be setting up but session is on!!

Hello one and all

If you have asked me to reserve a disabled space for your van, please email me (NOT PM) your time of arrival so that I can arrange spaces. We are getting asked more and more each year and space is at a premium.

Hello each. head still groggy from yesterdays wedding celebs but here goes.
Thanks Moira for reminder to remind! As always I am running late so havn't had much chance to gather bonnet making stuff. If anyone out there can put their hand to paper/dried flowers ribbons that sort of thing suitable for bonnet decorating and indeed suitable bonnets themselves. I will re-imburse at the weekend of course.
Is this what delegating is about, people have been telling me to try it for years?
Eyelander has already thanked on the proper thread but thanks to Andy and Carole for a truly memorable day yesterday. What an amazing gathering of friends from all over.

Van fire fixed! Now we can be warm and toasty without being dead!

Thanks to Dave and Maureen the gaspeople for the testing and advice, and to Chalk Plumbing for being open on Sunday morning and having 6mm nipples - and to the luck of having a brass microphone adapter in the garage with nearly the right thread, and a tap and die set with a 1/8 bsp gas thread tap - and to a pot of gastite.

If you are nervous about fires, do NOT camp next to me!

Rose and Dave King will be well known to many people going to Miskin next weekend. Here's advance notice that they will be there (as usual) and on the Sunday it is their Sapphire Wedding Anniversary (45th). Let's make it a really memorable one for them.

Also, not forgetting Toby's 21st birthday - looks like we've got some serious celebrating to do.

Polly.

Well, we think we have sorted the dogsitting again, but the volunteer was drunk when volunteering so we need to check when he is sober.

However, I have got a gas-man coming to check the fire in the vado on Saturday.

We know a song about that don't we boys and girls?
