Monday is a holiday as Boxing Day falls on Saturday, so maybe Wednesday 30th is the best day? I can make any that week, but need to know so can book train ticket....

Sounds like an idea for a Python script on the lines of the one below

OK, I've booked a cheapo train journey to the smoke and back for the 30th. If Ace is happening, I'll see you there. If not, I'll have a day in one of the capital's fine museums....

Any other commitments to go? Only it's a long way from Racewear Towers to have breakfast on my own and I'll arrange to alphbetise my toe nail clipping collection or something if we're not getting a good turn out.

Difficult time of year to get commitment, week between Christmas and New year! Sure there are a few more tenthers that have the date logged, but rest of the family may have other plans that require some negotiation and diplomacy....

I'd never insult you Claire, I can't run as fast as I used to be able to. Not sure if I can make it as I'm working (should finish earlyish) but I have to take my daughter to Heathrow in the afternoon/early evening, not sure which at the moment, so it might be pushing it a bit time wise.
I'm sure uncle Eric will go though.

This morning Mrs Bauble lost an argument with the pavement, and as a result I spent all day at the local horsemeat shop. My Good Wife has shattered her right elbow and all being well will be having an operation for a plate and pins job on Boxing Day.

Why trouble you all with this news?

It means that my attendance at the Ace is now very doubtful. Whether this encourages or discourages any potential attendees I know not, but personally I will be sorry not to make it.

Happy Christmas, enjoy your turkey while I struggle to bakes some sausages.

Cheers,

Bauble.

PS; Claire, you can always send me an abusive PM.

So sorry to hear that Bauble. It's pretty grim for her and won't be much fun for you.

We'll try to enjoy the Ace but it won't be the same without you.

Well, that sounds really painful for her, Bob. Hope it gets sorted and I'm sure we all wish her well for a proper mend and recovery.
