I slept with Shy until 3pm on and off. Switched on the TV. Remembered the Grand Narional. Got excited remembering my local bookies is about 30 seconds away and I have £7.50 available. Even more excited.

Then I remembered. No one under 18 can enter a bookies including Shy in a baby carrier. I can’t put my bet on. I sit here and eat mutton with rice and peas whilst watching in anticipation and disappointment.
