I was looking forward to meeting up again. Me too!  But at the moment all I really want is my bed, which I haven't seen for, let's see, 32 hours I think. Ditto ... really tired ... but... gotta get my sleeping pattern back in order... |

Yes, I noticed you were online for most of last night too, inc ... Nearly sent you a message of solidarity but thought you might just be sleeping in front of the computer screen.

Why is it that when sleeping patterns go awry the feeling of tiredness never really goes away, no matter how long you sleep for? I went to bed at 2 last night / this morning, and woke up about 11:30  I'm still really tired, though... |

OK - definitely call it off for tonight - when shall we next meet? Obviously smoking component will have to be muted. I'm away at the end of the next week, Thursday-Saturday. How about Wed 4th or Mon 9th?

Or how about the 13th, as Fridays are quite good for those of us who get a lie-in at weekends?
We could make it a celebration/inauguration of the new smoking conventions (martle-penguin, Mort-penguin, Pace-penguin and time-penguin squaddle outside and huddle together with burning paper in beaks at regular 30-minute intervals, while onlookers make comments in the voice of David Attenborough: 'Gosh, these birds appear to be conversing among themselves about mediation!') ...

If it's the 9th, I may even be able to put in an appearance.  I won't be doing the penguin huddle though. |

Well, if I actually meet the deadline that I'm supposed to meet on the 9th daytime, then it will be a very appropriate evening to be out celebrating. I think I must have been being pessimistic in thinking I wouldn't be free till later in that week. Sounds like lots of people can make the 9th anyway so I'll go with that (on the proviso that I'll only join you all if I've submitted my work).

Just got back from short-notice trip to London - left yesterday, stayed overnight, back today. Had seriously considered staying any extra night and surprising you all this evening, but the trains are in such chaos (over two and a quarter hours late down yesterday, which meant I missed two of the three meetings completely) that I decided not to risk travel back tomorrow, which I was warned might be even more chaotic, but to take my booked service today instead (and that was yet another marathon). Just as well, it turns out...
Still I did send telepathic greetings to IRF, hh and Stanley Stewart as we crawled through Newcastle, Durham and York respectively (...and vice-versa on return).
I'll make it some day.

# 43 Thanks, Ron. So, as I cut the grass on the marshland of my garden, I didn't realise that the sudden shudder came from a telepathic greeting; rather than instant fear of a reading on the Richter scale!
Salutations, nevertheless Stanley
