@JohnnyB 's site sounds at an interesting stage. Does Thurs 28th work then? 

 

Works for me 🙂

 

[LSB]

We can't do the 28th, going to the theatre in Norwich

 

[JohnnyB]

I'm free on the 22nd or the 28th.

Most weeks are ok for me, but not the 4th September.

[Alan Ambrose]

Thanks @JohnnyB.  So that's:

 

me - yeah

@G and J ?

@LSB 22nd not 28th

@zzPaulzz probably

@Nick Laslett a bit busy

@marshian maybe

 

By the power of AI (not really) and dodgy stats, that sounds like ~3.5 visiting peeps on the 22nd (i.e. this week) and ~2.5 on the 28th. So, 22nd (this week) it is then? That OK @JohnnyB?

I take offence at that.  I know I’m not very tall but to count me as half a person is just plain rude! 😉 

 

I’m with @Nick Laslett on this one, next month would definitely be better.  I’ve a highbrow social diary including things like a roof truss delivery this Friday, much as I’d like to come see.

[JohnnyB]

This week is OK for me, but equally happy to wait a few weeks if that is better for all.

[LSB]

what's the plan guys, this week or next month

this week now tricky, due to Sizewell taking over our airbnb and wanting us here to babysit Rumanians.

 

When they offered us the money we thought 'great', but now it's becoming a bit of a pain and almost not worth it (until they have left)

8 weeks of them and they don't speak English and I don't speak Rumanian, and they eat smelly food 🙂

Me too.  And many peeps struggle to understand me, so I know how they feel.  My vote is for laterer. 

[Alan Ambrose]

Well I thought I posted this already, but maybe .... brain damage.

 

I was going to say, as the visit is courtesy of  @JohnnyB 's kindness, that he should choose the date that suits him best.

The 4th September doesn't work for me and I expect I will be very busy on the 11th as we will have just come back from a few days away. 

Other than that it is when it works best for others to head over.

[Alan Ambrose]

@JohnnyB - maybe the 18th then?

[LSB]

We've been out of action for a bit with family, but let us know what's agreed and we'll try and come.

Yes, the 18th works, lets go for that.

[Alan Ambrose]

Thanks Johnny, looking forward to it.

[Alan Ambrose]

Can I ask, who’s planning on coming to @JohnnyB ‘s on the 18th? i.e. next Thursday.

[marshian]

Provided work doesn’t intervene (and it shouldn’t) put me down as attending please

[LSB]

as usual it depends on work, but hope to

 

[zzPaulzz]

Same here! 

[G and J]

I’m self-unemployed, so I can’t blame work.  So I’m a yes unless something goes pear shaped at the build.  

[G and J]

Hey @Alan Ambrose, as you don’t answer your emails I thought I’d try and catch you on site today as we drove back from a couple of days camping.   But you’re obviously having a lazy day.   😉
 

Very impressed with site presentation, most professional.  Makes our site look untidy and done on a shoestring!  Oh yeah, that’s because it is.

You'll feel at home on Thursday 🤣

@G and J ah sorry to miss you, was at a memorial lunch today. Try to take Sundays off anyhow . It’s all getting a bit tense as we have some prep still to do and the frame guys are tipping up next week. Sure you were at the right site - I assure you I spend about an hour a day trying to remember where I last left some tool or some fixings or somesuch. Impressed you took some time off.
