 Henley Women's Regatta - Sat & Sun - Manatee
Today and tomorrow. Off shortly. Good afternoon out, weather looking better. Daughter will be in club eight.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area. No entry fee (£7 to park last year), no drunken hoorays like the Royal Regatta.

I've already rejected that on the basis you have to be dead.

A peerage or a knighthood would be good.

Had a look as I crossed the bridge on the way to cricket. Course looked waterlogged - as indeed was our pitch after the afternoon thunderstorm. Frustrating day; will try to have a look at the boats tomorrow.

You mean the bank? I didn't go up the bridge end, but the ground seemed OK elsewhere.

Daughter's crew were knocked out in their first race today unfortunately - started well and went ahead, but taken aback by the gusting cross/headwind wind and never got ahead afterwards. They weren't in my view at the time - according to the commentary they were "almost shipwrecked" which sounded a bit dramatic, though Girl said it was nothing she was aware of! Lost by 2.5 lengths.
