Marathon Day 51, Thursday 5th May - Newry NI

Sorting out day today and catch up on outstanding domestic matters and chores.

Firstly attend to punctured tyre on lawn mower and whilst out in the Yeti, I discovered the last piece of coffee cake in the tin -  I hadn't completely cleared out the vehicle when I arrived home late last night.  Well guess what - the tin was soon emptied - Yummy,  Breakfast done!

Onwards to EMC at Burstwick and Timer Display exchanged - that should please everyone!

Yeti now emptied and cleaned inside and out. It's very difficult to keep the Challenge vehicles clean while we're on the road  but the Yeti, at least for now, looks the part of a promotional vehicle!

The team laundry that I brought home with me is now done and is ALL hanging out to dry on the line - Sophie please note!! lol.

Other than that it is raining, I have heard nothing from Newry yet  but trust all is going well with Andy and the reduced Team66.  When you have been close to the action for most of the time, it's very difficult to be apart from it and "not knowing"!
I speak too soon -just got text from Sophie and apart from the wind and the rain, everything is going as expected, though security is apparently very strict.

Andy finished his marathon in 5hrs 52mins - a brilliant run!

Spoke briefly to him this evening and he sounds in good spirits - but then when did he ever sound any different!!!

Here's to a good day tomorrow, in Ireland at least - I have some gardening chores to attend to but maybe they'll be fun as well.

G'Nite!!

Oh - One more thing . . . .
Benji & Baxter - Inseparable!
