Just had a text from Rocket. Both survived a great day.

Jon will be knackered by the time he's got home.

Good to hear! Unfortunately in this game that's never a given.. something I know far to well (blush)

^^ Very much this, I gave the last session a miss as I was starting to feel tired and dehydrated. The ride back was a bit of a slog, but I managed to get past Birmingham before rush hour.

I'll do a bit of a write up in a bit, but it was fantastic to meet rocket and also the guys that we shared a garage with. Totally surprised to see jack, but it's always a pleasure.

Glad all came home safe and had a great day, Donny is on my list of tracks to do if/when I'm back on track. 8)

I got a bollocking from Mrs Gee the other day as I was at a trackday with #1 son, I didn't text or call all day according to her. The fact her phone has to be off all day while she's working made no difference apparently. |(
