I'll be away from home on Saturday night but I've printed off Mead's story and I'll take it away with me to read as near the appointed time as I can.

I can't promise to take part in the discussion afterwards as I'll only have my phone for getting online and it's a pain trying use it to post anything. I'll certainly be with you all in spirit though.

It's a wonderful idea, by the way. I hope all our loving vibes from around the world reach Mead, wherever she is.
