That's what I was thinking.

Kate is (apparently) attending a Sports Aid mentoring session in Glasgow tomorrow
She's long been a fan of sailing, famously beating husband Prince William during a race around Auckland Harbour during the Royal Tour Down Under.
Now Kensington Palace has announced that the Duchess of Cambridge has become royal patron of a new sailing charity, The 1851 Trust, which aims to help bring the America's Cup home.
In a statement released by the palace, the Duchess spoke of her love of sailing and said she hoped the trust would inspire a new generation to take up the sport.
A group of young athletes with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in their sights got a boost from the Duchess of Cambridge today, as she visited a SportsAid workshop during a visit to Essex.
The Duchess, a keen sports fan herself, was all smiles as she toured the GSK Human Performance Lab which puts athletes through a series of advanced performance assessments in order to produce personalised training data for coaches.
But with her second child on the way, it seems unlikely that the Duchess will be doing much sport herself until after the birth, which is expected to happen some time in April.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of SportsAid, has today joined thirty 16 to 20-year-old athletes at a workshop designed to help them on their journey to the Olympic or Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2020 or PyeongChang in 2018.
Hosted by GSK at its cutting-edge Human Performance Lab in west London, the athletes took part in a series of scientific assessments on respiration, temperature, power, cognition and body composition before joining a mentoring session with Olympic swimmer Keri-anne Payne and having the chance to meet Paralympic wheelchair athlete David Weir CBE.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron, the 1851 Trust, this evening attended a Board Meeting and Reception at the Goring Hotel, 15 Beeston Place, London SW1.
