tig,
sorry i wasn't there but i'll give you a doubly big hug next time.
magician had a cold a couple of weeks back and in a roundabout way passed it on to me. i saw him as i was recovering from that and he looked terrible.
i think that still having the remains of a cold is what made me prone to whatever bug i subsequently collected.
still,i'm recovering now and should be on top form come the bash. looking forward to it,and to meeting up with those i now consider old friends.

if you readers haven't booked your space. DO IT NOW
