You guys have so much faith in the Owl. He must be wise.

I was keen to come but I think i'm going to pull out. I'm not much of a gambler.

Would anyone go up tomorrow night if it stays clear?

Now that is a sensible idea.
Hmm!
Probably can arrange that.

Just came back from the Western Suburbs. The cloud was a lot lighter down there than up Gosford way on the way back.

Good luck for tonight.
