    Very good.

    I was quite happy about 2nd V40 in the 50@50, knowing that Matt Dunn is a far better runner than me. You've got to be happy with the best you can do, and this varies considerably from one day to the next.

    Thanks Charmain, nice to see you too. The tee is excellent, the hoodie is a clothiong item i have never needed to find a role for. I'm going to have to have a think as to how i can deploy it.
