Hi Jolan, I hope all is well with you.
Not sure how much time I will have today but on first read through I have #1

Good afternoon jolan, I trust you're still well. Alls right with the world (well Gloucestershire) since it's day 1 of Cheltenham. I'm usually there for the first 2 days and very much regret deciding earlier not so this year! As a consequence of the equine jumping olympics I've no time for your (no doubt) excellent "poses" right now but have written them down for later as I genuinely look forward to them every Tuesday. Cheers again.

Good afternoon, Jolan, perhaps I'm not an 'excellent regular' but I'm having a go this week. I've got nos 1, 3 and 5 - going for a walk in the sun now and will try the others later.

Good afternoon jolan
Just returned home from a walk in the park. Beautiful sunshine all the way.
On first reading, I have #1 and #5 so will try for more over lunch.

Hi jolan not looked in for a while but have got 1 and 3 possibly 5 but don't know the word offhand.

Hi Rossim, Ginge (enjoy the hossies), Rambler (I was referring to FORUM regulars when I wrote that preamble many years ago. It's great to see you here), Jazzy and FJ. See you later. J
