    That was a good day out! I remembered my sun cream and daft hat, so only mildly toasted today - much like my fish in the canteen... they gave me a new one though (cooked this time), and the CHIPS (quiet Joanna) were tasty.

    Really nice to see everybody today, especially those who have been 'Missing In Action' for so long! Most enjoyable to catch up, and Neil & Lorna's chair saved my back and legs in the afternoon. Good to meet a couple of 'New Faces' too - hopefully we didn't put you off. Oh, and the racing was pretty good as well!

    Laugh on the way home when a certain very lovely black and shiny Maserati Quattroporte foolishly 'underestimated the alacrity' of Stoney and the GP when negotiating a certain long tightening right-hand bend and motorway slip road. They were under the impression that they could dispatch the wee motor with disdainful ease. They were sadly mistaken. Maserati 0, GP 1. Another golden moment for 'TEAM GP' on the final day of the Olympics!

    All in all, a fine day. See you next Sunday for the Edinburgh to St. Andrews run

    ps Joanna, if you're ever stuck for something to paint, I have a nice hut which needs doing...

    haha!! I saw that with the black car, had a wee grin to myself

    I wasn't sure what it was at the time, I just knew it was shiny, expensive and fast and that he had a superiority complex but not for long!



    edit: Alacrity.....good word. I'll have to look that one up
