Good morning...
Well...
I have to say that, the last few days have been a bit difficult, to say the least.
What should have been a simple IT upgrade didn't quite go as planned.
I do, however, now have email and access to everything that I need (apart from Skype)...
Just not quite on the right machines.
I'll be spending most of today trying to catch up on yesterday's emails and...
Vowing never to try to upgrade my IT again.

I will be keeping my eyes open for any international races that I can rate.
Ante Post Ratings
Later this week I shall be rating (well in advance) any decent races that need to be rated as part of my Ante Post Ratings service.
Obviously, you as Focus Ratings members will get access to these ratings for free.

I'll be updating you early next week on how to access Ante Post Ratings.

Last Request...
Mary Clancy goes up to Father McGuire after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears. He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"
She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night."
The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"
She says, "That he did, Father."
The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? "
She says, "He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun.' "
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
