1 out of 12 this year

We're a bit sad in this house today as Ben has just sailed to Liverpool and is not planning to be back until Easter. He wasn't at home from New Year until a month ago and for most of the time he has been home he has spent his daylight hours serving Manx Telecom customers. He has taken his car and possessions to Hull but then goes on holiday in France for a couple of weeks before returning to resume his studies - he still has 3 years to go! He has hardly done any running whilst he has been home so I don't think he will be able to join me in Amsterdam to run the half.
