My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts!

I will be working in London that day so could, perhaps, stay on in the evening. Life is complicated slightly by the fact that Mike has already scheduled an emergency for Monday 27th.

Perhaps if there is not much availability from others, this might be an opportunity for us to have that dinner I keep suggesting to you?

[CPR 1]

If there is an emergency I will be there!

Ps Welcome back

Could your emergency be sated on the 27th? I sadly need to decline the 21st.

I'll be in France on the 27th. 21st would be the only date possible for me.

If there's an emergency, then it'll happen at the time, in the moment. At that point, call the police.

[jdaw1]

If the police can't do anything about it, then you might as well open a few bottles.

This is looking better.

Daniel: blind or sighted?

Daniel: placemats — thee or me?

I will question you about this intriguing post later today.

Good.

Blind

If you don't mind that would be very nice of you. I will update the first post.

Done: there are images of the current draft of the placemats in the first post.

There is now a chance I can make the 21st. I'll try and confirm in a week or two.

Derek and I appear to be incapable of appearing at the same tasting unless either the total ages of the wines present exceeds 1000 years or else we are not in the UK; mysterious forces seem to prevent this. Fortunately for Derek in this case I can't make the 21st July, so hopefully he will not receive a sudden summons to a remote Scottish town for the week.

Green Room booked.

That would be rather good. I don't think I've seen you since that amazing Croft vertical we did in Boston in 2007.

Link to a Croft vertical in Boston, February 2008 (which reminds me that thread is still awaiting pictures).

Yes definitely count me in. Is it a simple bring a bottle?

When in September? Particularly convenient would be Wednesday 9^th September (if appropriate reply in that thread rather than this).
