There were no chips and with PB chasing it was dog-eat-dog With a chip and a 26-ish target, it'll be fine. I think I also am not a fan of evening races as I don't often run after 5 (getting my excuses in, in advance)

I'm no navigator but I defo know that it doesn't take that long to get to the gulf. Nice day today - lunch in New Brighton & ice cream & Mrs J bought a new fangled telly for the living room - its presently driving Joe mad, he'll get over this and then he'll be obsessed with 4k!
