Many thanks folks. Even a line or two from my favourite Monkey (the 3-way chess was sooper despite being ganged up on).
As for the ol' nearest and dearest, well she came up trumps and made a birthday cake with a 64 square topping resplendent with chess pieces made from icing and arranged according to "an aesthetically pleasing position" that she saw in one of those "chess books left lying around".

Go-karting was superb. There are times when I have met and perhaps even surpassed the normal standard expected of a squirrel lover - you know the sort of thing, where everything comes easily whilst others toil and flounder around you. Yesterday was not such an occasion. This go-karting virgin lacked the cornering speed, the confidence and the aggression in the slide of my fellow speedsters. I came one place behind the penultimate. Bloody good fun though, and not in the least bit bloody.
Oh, and Kirksey957 - as for your suggestion elsewhere....you're on 😀
