I'll be there on a front row seat, popcorn ready.
Can't wait.

I've just blocked my calendar to finish work at 6pm and will be logged on and waiting for updates from 6.01...

:rotfl: PMSL!

You're all as mad as a box of frogs. I shall do my best to keep you posted but it's perfectly possible I won't be online at all this evening, so don't wait up - I will be back on Sat afternoon/ evening.

Unless the router falls over at the parental home. Dad's pooter upstairs has 2nd dibs off the router downstairs and it's a bit iffy, involving me calling downstairs for it to be turned off and on again so's it will reset (it's all of 8 foot vertically from the router but seems to have electronic snits from time to time). Flipping wireless connections, I much prefer my own steam-driven 14 y.o pooter on its ethernet cable.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm not doing my regular job today, I'm helping my pal (the pal who will be giving me the lift home later) in their [STRIKE]junk shop[/STRIKE] err antique and collectables emporium. Between investigating the in-tray and bullying him about un-done paperwork, I may be allowed back into the rooms upstairs where there are things which have been undisturbed for decades.:D

There is a really big box hiding under a table and I have no idea right now what it may contain but I intend to find out. Hopefully it'll be something which can go downstairs in the shop or amuse the heck out of the rest of you.

Previous findings include repro classic busts from antiquity (i.e. the 1950s) and a Napoleonic war bayonet. :rotfl:

The junk emporium sounds as facinating as the parental attic to all of us. It's going to be very crowded in both with all of us craning our necks to look over your shoulders.

Got a bottle of wine and some breadsticks to add to the party of GQ watchers!

Ooh... now wine... that's a good idea!

Quick housekeeping question. The mustard at the bottom of the jar has become solid. Would adding a bit of vinegar soften it? Or should I just use it for cooking stews and hope that it melts?

Is there a seat left at the naughty step, preferably with GQ-view? I'll bring gifted champagne and left-over croissants!

Just so you know this is going to be a global sit-in whilst we wait for updates, I'm 7 hours behind so if you could manage a quick update whilst you have breakfast I could catch up with you before I go to bed.

No pressure

I think we should club together to buy GQ a smartphone so she can start a blog and provide minute-by-minute instagram updates...

Having seen some things blogged or vlogged, I think I'd prefer watching GQs attic antics described than most things that seem to go viral. You may just have found yourself a new venture GQ.

Got a phone call telling me I was only actually needed for lunchtime so Kondoed a load of weeds from the front garden this morning, going to sew some knitted hedgehogs together in the garden this afternoon
