@swardley Been chatting to him lately; aware of that :) The text mentioned ‘free’ and open, hence my comment. PS. Need to chat to you :) -
@aral : yes, would be good to chat been meaning to call. When is good for you? -
@swardley This event ends this afternoon, if you’re free late afternoon/early evening? -
@aral : late evenings are best for me, after about 8 pm. -
@swardley Sounds good :)
