Hello?

Unsurprisingly, KfW2 messaged earlier to say she couldn't make it this afternoon. It wasn't unexpected. Firstly, the weather is appalling, so getting out to do stuff with her and her kids would have been a wet, cold and muddy affair. Secondly, she's taking her family on holiday tomorrow for a week, so the last thing she needs is her kids generating more washing.

And, let's remember, it's KfW2. So I wonder if she's actually packed and she probably has a lot of washing to do anyway.

So that means that tonight's potential meeting with The Crowd is my last chance saloon for doing any socialising this year. FC promised he'd be in touch when he gets back home (he's been with his parents this week). I've still heard nothing from S or GM in the same chat. I am being slightly pessimistic and predicting that, because of the weather, he'll stay another day and won't be back in town for socialising tonight.

While the weather is awful and it wouldn't be bad just hunkering down for the day, I would like to see people. Ideally, that would have been KfW2, but anyone at this stage would do.
