Grateful thanks to Feral.

Twellsy - I had no time for a Poodle pic, this morning. I’ll ask DD to send one, soon. The Dog has been such a great companion. We are both missing her presence and we just returned home half an hour ago :smiling_face_with_tear:. I’ve had time to scoff a goodly slice of the Cornish saffron bun/cake we were given as a thank you gift. Heavenly. I may go back for more…

A pic from September:

She still looks like this.

Just woken up here from a good night’s sleep with a straight nine hours sleep

I am feeling better as a result

The rally was fun until a problem occurred on the last stage where one person decided to go on his own route and missed the final two controls

This is forbidden so we had an entertaining time ensuring the paperwork proved the allegation a n other had made

As it involved a class position it was a real headache for us as class position gives points in championship for two different events

Trust me the figures will be pored over today so competitors can reassure themselves that they were given the right position

Various officials will also be doing the same thing

One craytur will be unhappy as he was excluded from the event because he was naughty

The boss of the rally can now look forward to his wedding on Saturday coming

Makes mental note to arrange for a sparrer to be strapped into a navigator’s seat for a rally

Racing against the clock on closed tarmac “roads” is what ralllyists do

And the Gardai actually help with rally motorsport so we find them friendly

We would kick the navigator out and ensure our sparrer was fully equipped with racing kit to keep it safe from fires

A polo neck with with a three layer flame proof suit from neck tto ankle with bootees and helmet should keep it warm

And gloves to protect its flight fevvers
