Alex - do you want me to knock the food order up?
Re: Thursday 28th September - Port at the Boot & Flogger
Just noticed that Ian is missing from the placemats - CSD is on there.

Food order is done and in - Tom is going hungry.
I also noted the CSD - IDJ swap. We'll cope. I have the tasting mats with me and will attempt to drop them off at B&F tomorrow morning so I don't have to lug 4 bottles of port around with me all day.

Oops. I should have explicitly asked that somebody check. Please consider it a standing request.
I might be late, so have left my bottle at the B&F. Please decant and quality-assure.

For the record my (blind) bottle was decanted at 11.45 and will shortly be at the B&F for tonight’s tasting.
