Unfortunately Nat is feeling better, so we won't get to witness the hilarity of her trying to teach hoop whilst unable to stand up straight
Another golden comic opportunity wasted .

Dave: Thanks for the scary doc! And it was SO GREAT to see you so much!! YAY! You're wonderful and lots of fun and absolutely amazingly great!
Lisa! Hi my love! how are you? I thought of you guys the other day cos I saw the cutest ickle kitten on the bus! aaaawww! Will you be coming to Spits? Hope to see you soon gorgeous! MUA!
Ed! Hola precioso mio!! How's Spain? Are you having a great time and drinking lots of calimocho? You should do, it's great! I'm definately up for going to Spain soon, so I'll let you know if I actually make it (funding my way there may be an issue )
Sara! yay! I'm so glad I found you! I'm sorry I didn't make it on sat, still recovering. But Balls! is on at 5:30 on monday, so maybe see you then? Mua!
Lindaaaa! hi my love! you are a STAR! thanks so much for the website! you rock so hard you loose pebbles when you walk! (Does that work? It just came out...). See you tomorrow honey!
