How you doin’?
After the high of a finale-fitting but brief contest yesterday, how you doin’? How is the appetite for more? We are not yet sure of a timely start, though. We are hearing of an inspection at 10.20am. The problem seems to be the amount of overnight rain and the lack of sun in the morning to dry it out. We will keep you updated about that and more.
Since the time Andrew Miller posted the above-quoted tweet, the covers have come off so at least the signs are positive.
