For the first time in a long while this WRQ made me feel smart... I studied both books at school, learnt all about the magical properties of sand on one of the most famous beaches in the world and even know a thing or two about sports. Admittedly I also guessed some but that a given for me. 😅 PM sent @Mi-Amigo
