Possible, depends on my architect. He was supposed to phone today and let me know, but hasn't.

But 19:00 is good for me.

Is this happening?

I am thinking of changing my plans so that I can join the fun 88)

I am assuming that if it is happening the theme is "Bring a bottle of nice VP wrapped in aluminium foil"

I am under brownie-point alert - points earned by birthday niceness are quickly running out. I need encouragement and proof of viability.

My VP viability is short but I have sticky accreditation.

My plans have not been changed yet and it looks like I have to be in London on Thursday night so will have to find an excuse to get down tomorrow. I'm still not a certainty to be there but will do all I can.

What time will you be starting?

Who else is in?

I'm going to make an effort to be there. Can't have Tsunami in town without meeting up.

My architect has just phoned and will be round on Thursday so all is OK to meet up tomorrow. I'm in and will be there at 7pm (actually, a little before). I don't know what I'll bring but it'll be a surprise and will be wrapped in silver foil anyway.

I'll be leaving the office around 4pm and will be catching the train in from Guildford. It's about 2-2½ hours door to door. If I get there early then I will look for one of the tables in one of the alcoves at the back of The Crusting Pipe.

7pm it is. I will be working in Sheffield and catching a train to London after 4pm so should make it in time. Will let you know if I'll be late.

Andrea seemed fine apart from the walking. A good time was had by all and great to see Tsunami and Andrea again.
