Hey guys,
So I'm guessing it would be easier for everyone who doesn't know where
Katie lives if we all went together. To that effect, there is a number
of us meeting up at the spire in town at 3:30 this afternoon, if you
want to go with us just make sure to get there on time.
If you are not there we will leave without you. :)
Just in case though, here's my number so you can feel free to beg us
to wait for you.
0877716773
See ya'll soon,
Ceili Braidwood.
