Sorry,Admiral,stranding just solved the challenge.

Sorry Admiral indeed! I have opt out, as explained over in the Discussions. We are so stressed about the first Dane ever in the tennis finals. Jeg er on tenterhooks!

The challenge is open for any member who would like to jump in.

Correct. It's a bench dog. Over to you.
