Bright and dark

Our final day of preparation. A huge amount of shopping at Sainsbury's after we had "done the rounds" of our below-par friends. The one with brain cancer appeared much brighter and with-it today, which allows for at least a little more optimism. However, we learned of the early demise of a young man who used to bowl in the same league as Joel and Chloe and was around the same age. Reason unknown until the result of an autop . In addition, Orville the international ventriloquist's  green duck passed-on, again for reasons unspecified. However, the death from natural causes of Orville's "voice" contributed considerably to his demise I would guess.

Today was very cold and wet, so after an amazing Thai meal at the Nipa restaurant in the Marina we aim for an early night  ready for an early liaison with our electrician in the morning.
