Well, thank you so much, Declan. Always great to hear from you and thanks for all your support for the IRN as well as one of our very marvelous standard net control operators when one of our regulars is needing a bit of a break or busy or off on holiday. So you do a fantastic job too, not just for our nets of course, but lots of other nets you're on as well. I was so glad to catch that Thursday information net last night. I think it was the first time I've ever checked, isn't it? But for some reason I just thought, well, I actually had a wee look at that old scan. A dashboard that I could see was lit up and I thought, well, there's something going on there. Forgetting it was of course the last Thursday of the month and when I heard your dulcet tones there, I said, hey, I'm going to have to check in. So there we go. So good stuff there, Declan, but thanks for all you do for the hobby as well. Absolutely wonderful. And I was going to ask when you start back in school because here in Scotland they started coming back this week, on Wednesday I think it was. So yeah, all the schools are back over here. It's kind of strange because we've got primary school at the bottom of our road here and if you just kind of go out or come back home at the wrong time, it's full of all these parents with their big, big cars, their automobiles, their 4x4s, everything else, picking up or dropping off the kids and in a zone which is meant to be no drop offs and no pick ups but they're all there, clogging up the street and you have to try and get by them. Anyway, that's totally off subject and everything else but I was wondering when your school term started which is obviously a little bit later than we are here. And as far as checking in is concerned, yeah, I do try and catch you out. I do kind of change up now and again and make it a little longer or maybe a bit shorter and everything else. Actually I thought maybe today I did catch you out because when I unkeed, oh, there was a good long pause, longer than usual before I heard you but you were loud and clear and then all the others were trying to scramble underneath and behind you and oh goodness, you just kind of left them in your wake. Anyway, Declan, it's always, always a pleasure. Thanks for being there. Thanks for waving a hand to Odin. You might, well, no, he's quiet now but while you were speaking, he was snoring. He is actually lying next to me. He's sound asleep today. He's had a busy day. We're taking him to a doggy show tomorrow and we're going to enter them into a fun puppy competition so it's kind of charity events and everything else. We're looking forward to that. Anyway, let me just take a wee bit.
