William Sichel has almost finished the 1000 mile race in Athens - only 100k remaining and he looks set to come away with three records.  More details about those later.  Wolfgang Schwerk won the event by completing the distance in just a shade less than 12 days.

Fay has developed a really bad cough.  It began about ten days ago and almost disappeared after about five days - but then came back with a vengeance and yesterday she began to develop a cold too.  She's not too happy at the moment.
