Thanks for re-posting Ricardian. I'm sure we would all want to wish Alastair and his family all the best for the future.

Reports of record snowfall in Japan, got me thinking about whatever happened to Yamagata Ken, who often gave snow reports on TOP and here, anyone with any info?

HF where are you? Last posted a week ago and didn't report today as a Friday.

I am sorry to be the bringer of bad news.........handsfree is in hospital again.
However this time it is more serious. He has contacted Covid and has been placed in an induced coma.

I have just spoken to Mrs HF, who tells me things are not looking good. She has asked me to ring her one evening next week, when she will update me.

Sorry to hear your news about HF Ibbie. I wish him well. Drugs taken to allay transplant rejection would make him immunocompromised.

I had bad feelings, so sad after all the messing to get Billy, I do hope he pulls through. Best wishes to them both.

We need the force at TOGA for this.
