Never mind - If we have plenty of BEER and that French sh*t then we should be just fine.

If it's windy i'll bring the octopus.

Well I will think twice if I cannot get down because of weather, on Friday, too much palavar for 2 nights. If I don't camp, I will visit on the saturday.

Ok, I have decided not to camp, although saturday is looking promising, it is all the other weather around it!

I will come down around 11am for the day on saturday. Bit fedup about my decision, but hopefully december will be better, always difficult to make decisions when the weather is so unpredictable.

I have to admit, the forecast is looking pretty dismal. There are severe weather warnings for most of the rest of the country too.

With rain nearly every day for over a week and more forecast for the weekend it's unlikely I'd be able to get the van up the hill to the corner even if they do let me drive on the field.

I will not be going :-?

The bummer is, I've spent over a week getting the bloody van loaded, installing and testing EQMod, setting up and testing guidescope and camera, testing new modded camera, making assorted leads and dew heaters  :(

This evening I'll cancel me staying and ask if we can book for December - I will not cancel this weeks booking for everyone in case someone decides to brave the storm

Not that it makes any difference - rain/cloud forecast as usual anyway  :(

And I agree - drown sorrows  :)
