If a space becomes available, and a bottle to adopt, I might be interested. I’m enquiring of my mother, who would need to babysit, just in case….
Julian’s space is still available. There are sufficient bottles so no adoption required, just a share of the bottle costs. Let me know ASAP.
If still available, I’m in. I’ve sent you a PM.

I am very ill. Definitely unable to attend.

I’m sorry to hear you are still suffering. I promise to do my very best to fill your not inconsiderable (metaphorically speaking) shoes tomorrow night. I’ll gladly take any guidance on things I should or should not do so as to be a credit to your reputation!

Some of you may be aware that I was in Portugal last week. It was my practice during the visit to take a lateral flow test every day to minimise the risk I unknowingly had COVID and was contagious.
I have done the same today. My test is negative.
I am very much looking forward to seeing you all (and Mike for his book) later today!
