Hi Kevin and all.
I re-subscribed to the List just this evening to send my earlier Bovedy post, and have only now started to go through the archives and catch up on the chat I missed while I was away........that's when I found your post.
For the record, it was one of the hottest days of the year when Kevin visited us. It must have been at least in the low 60's, so that's why all the windows were wide open. Phew! What a scorcher!! ;-)

<< Rob received 28.41 grams in trade making him the second largest repository (!) of this material. >>

I think I had something like 32g of Aubres in total (the 28.41g slice & ~4g fragments), but you're right about this being the last that's likely to hit the market given current trading policies. It cost me an arm and a leg and I won't be cutting any more, that's for sure, so my slice is already under lock and key.
Grab Kevin's slice while you can! :-)

Cheers,
Rob.
