ater the last meet when i had to come home iv been quite ill,the doc is coming to see me tomorrow i will see what she says if i can come or not///////////////kev

[JonnyP]

I'll try to be there.

(Hopefully the round of viruses that have been raging through my kids will have abated by then and I can actually get away from the house having had somewhere near a night's sleep without a hospital or doctor's visit. And it will be clear. It will!)

good afternoon guys

weather today

bbc : cloudy

metoffice : cloudy

now it looks better than yesterday, but it could still change

im in work from 2, but im not sure what time i'll be finishing tonight, it will be either 8 - 10, but the site is only 5 mins up the road from where i work so not bad

if its cloudy obviously we wont get any viewing in, but we can still meet if every one wants to

i'll post another weather before i go to work
