Freecycle

Wow, my first experience of Freecycle was something of a triumph. I had an office chair going spare: I posted this morning, my post got through moderation at 17.29 this evening, first response at 17.35, and it was out of the door by 7pm! Grassroots organization in efficiency shock. Surely this is humanity's future?

ETA: Aw, just got a nice thank you note too.

Sorry to be so slow responding, I've had a hell of a week. Thank you for this, I'm incredibly grateful for the offer, and I'd happily take them off your hands.

I'm going to be at Eastercon, and while I'm coming by rail, a friend will be travelling back to Cambridge by car and I think he would be willing to take them if he can fit them in. How big is the bar-bell?

At Yome at the moment, and kit is at Wome, but the bar-bell is, I think, about 1.5m. I will also let you know (when back at Wome) what the weights are. All seem Blessed Heavy to me!

That will be absolutely brilliant, thank you very much :-)

1m 55!

If it will fit in our Lupo, it will fit in any car. Not _strictly_ true - the Lupo can take an amazing number of display stands, but remarkably few collapsed house-moving boxes.

I picked up the message!

Will see you tomorrow, I guess.
