SoS

Wow. What a weekend I have had, at SoS 2112. We went up on Friday and were one of the first to arrive. On Friday I mat a chap who said "Hello Neil, I never met you before your accident but I can't tell you how much better you seem now than 3 years ago when I fifest met you at an Ixion do" so I don't really know what to say to that.

On Saturday Gordon had to bring in a very grubby bike because he had just fallen off, but he was unhurt. I am struggling with how he crashed and got up and picked his bike up and I am so ill

Also on Saturday we came back to the hotel for lunch, she said "Sorry no chef" and we went and had a nice lunch elsewhere. The same night she said that 5 minutes after we left the chef came in and she tried to phone us but there is almost no mobile coverage there

And someone also was wearing a T-shirt that said "Rock'n'roll with MS". I thought what and asked him, he said it was his band and a friend of theirs had a child who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis so it was to raise cash for them

For the whole weekend I was torn between thinking "Compared with my life 10 years ago I am f*cked" and "Compared with my life 9 years ago I am so much better"

And the local brewery supplied beer there

And a local festival was publicised everywhere

And I was so impressed with marvin's t-shirt that I went to the supplier he told me he got it from and bought one for me
