Plus 3 dry and foggy when driving in.

Not a good day yesterday. Monkhouse pulled up lame at Market Rasen and when I got home I found that Mrs B was in Cheltenham A&E with a similar problem. Pulled ligaments around her left knee. She is now on crutches. I hope both make full recoveries.

Two golfers are waiting their turn on the tee when a naked woman runs across the fairway and into the woods.

Two men in white coats and another guy carrying two buckets of sand are chasing her, and a little old man is bringing up the rear.

One of the golfers grabs the old man and asks, "What's going on?"

The old guy says, "She's a nymphomaniac from the asylum, she keeps trying to escape, and we attendants are trying to catch her."

The golfer asks, "What about the guy with... the buckets of sand?"

The old man says, "That's his handicap. He caught her last time."
