Hi guys,
I'm afraid I didn't get round to adjucating while on the overnight ferry from Italy to Greece. So I've only gone about it after arriving in Athens. And then I experienced some connectivity snags. So my quick-and-dirty adjucation mail didn't get out before going out for dinner. Ah well...
Anyway, I think this turn has been almost like the true beginning of the game.
Felix and Michael owe me retreats.
I'll adjucate when I have them both, even before the deadline, should neither ask for me to do otherwise. If you two were to get them in the coming hours, I could get the summer adjucation out tomorrow, I dare say. Otherwise it'll depend on when I'm back in port.
Cheers,
Charles
