    Just in case you missed the earlier post, we're having a gathering
    this weekend from Friday to Sunday. Crash space available, loads of
    tent space - barbeques, beers and bullshitting a-gogo all weekend.
    Rideout for a pub lunch Sunday.

    If you are within striking distance of Junction 12 of the M1 you're
    close enough to drop in and show your face. Email me at the addy in
    my headers with Pixiefest as the subject for directions/location.

    Those who have emailed are On The List and will receive instructions
    shortly.

    I can't recall if I e-mailed, but have plans to attend... I'm off work
    from tomorrow evening so it'll be a relaxing start to my holiday (well
    actually the "relaxing start" willo begin by dropping the SZR engine to
    whack a new head gasket in.. but that's just logistics.)

    I may require floor space, if that's ok?

    There's acres of nice soft garden kippage available. If floor space
    looks short, we'll whack up a couple of our tents and shuffle the
    kipping masses in there.

    I assume that Ginge cba to bring or put up his own tent and wants to
    kip where he falls, as usual. Something to cushion the impact would
    be politic or the aches the next morning can be impressive ime.

    Something like that, I've no room to air it once back home, and it'll
    rain at the weekend.. which would mean it'll be left with a stinky
    mouldy tent when I need it for EOSM.

    Fair comment. Well, you're most welcome to a floor, with or without a
    sleepmat/airbed, or one of our tents which can stay up in the garden
    until dry. Having said that, the weather forecast for Saturday and
    Sunday is very pleasant.

    If it stays dry I'll pack it.. Either way I'm bringing a crash mat.

    We'll give a bit more notice next time ...

    I'll return your DVDs at EOSM, shall I?
    Furry muff. We'll hoist one to "absent cunts" so you can feel
    included.

    We'd be there, but for two reasons; one I'm busy all of Saturday
    in St. Ives, and Sunday we have doublebooked ourselves. :-(

    Must come over to get the SpeedySpicEngineeringCo to sort this
    seat out at some other point though...

    You could always bring her with you.
    You're not allowed to have fun without them, you know.

    We're lucky as the MiL enjoys looking after the kids once in a while and
    since Steph has 'meet' UKRM negotiations have changed from weeks worth of
    delicate talks by highly trained teams of negotiators to:

    'There's a Pixiefest soon, you fancy going?'.
    'Yeah, why not'

    Ideally, it wants to be nice and sunny for the next few days[1], so
    the pool can get back up to temperature. It was down to 24C yesterday,
    FFS.

    Must get the heating plumbed in soon...

    [1] Rather than the hot day/cold rainy day routine we've had recently,
    like where it was only about 22C[2] and pissing it down on Monday then
    33 and sunny yesterday. Can't seem to make its mind up.
    [2] Yes, that _is_ cold, although I realise you UK-ites would think of
    it as a warm summer's day.

    I don't mind a cold pool.
    Over here the pools have devices to cool the water.

  20. ah, I told Elly rather than email. Still as we only live down the road
    [1] Ive no doubt you'll fit us in. Andy'll likely be there sometime in
    the afternoon but Ive got the dreaded curse of going to football so
    I'll be there sometime in the evening. no floor space required as
    we'll taxi home.

    [1] Rob, we've got a spare bed or two if you'd prefer one to floor.
