Ah people have beaten me to my idea, off work sick so I need something to pass the time!

[bad-pink-tink]

oops sorry orangarnold 

[orangarnold]

oops sorry orangarnold 

It's fine, I'm glad others have the same idea.


I do like the sound of how much work is being done in the hotels

[bad-pink-tink]

yes and I'm delighted that Sequoia Lodge is getting free wifi before Christmas, we were wondering about that as we usually SKYPE family on Christmas Day. I wonder will it be in the rooms or just in the lobby /bar area.

[orangarnold]

Hopefully it will be throughout.
