You'll get time enough, don't worry. Wouldn't be much point coming over if you were going to spend the whole time indoors or looking at computer screens, eh? ;-) You'll love seeing them again.

Bob, we got a fair whack of it on various camera-phones. http://youtube.com/watch?v=YE-TR-TSYF8 There will be more, and I'll upload some pictures to flickr too.

We miss you also. azramo is off to Falkirk tomorrow so it's all change in our wee corner of Aberdeen. Of course, you are still strongly encouraged to visit.
