I've mentioned it to several people, but I don't really get out much being a 24/7 carer for the wife. I also have to be a little delicate around the slight detail that two of my close friends from school happen to have businesses that repair people wonky Windows installs in Holsworthy. I can't be too "ruthlesss" and expect to not have some kind of fall out. As for numbers today, who knows. I got the rain I wanted this time. One friend is coming along, another who I was hoping might has to head back to Wales this afternoon. And Andy from the shop unfortunately has had something come up so he apologised this morning as he won't make it. Either way, I am happy to get out of the house once a month and chat to folks. I have two "mums" from the school that are interested in Linux to replace their buggered Windows installs, not sure they would be interested in meetings so much at a later date, but you never know.
