    Hello all. Well I've done a minimal amount today. 1x WM which I need to put in TD. And unloaded and reloaded DW.
    I'm aching so much today. It's the insanity of putting up the marquee in high wind that's caused that. Along with all the lugging of stuff back and forth.
    It's cold here today. Can't wait for 4:30 when the heating goes on!
    Hope everyone's well?

    Deepest commiserations, Jazee; I know SickDog meant the world to you. Lucky, lucky SickDog to have had such a wonderful home and such fantastic loving care.
    Better is good enough.
  • Condolences to Jazee. So sorry to see your sad news.

    After going to watch the superb fireworks display put on by our local council we bumped into friends, went for a drink and didn't roll in until 11pm!!!! No flying done at all yesterday so I'll have to make up for it tonight.
