    Welcome back Chicken! Fingers crossed for Korea VJ'smum

    Making his debut over jumps at Wetherby on Saturday (X fingers)

    Skewbald racehorse Angrove Rumbaba. I'm part of his syndicate. Here he is training on the gallops. His race should be shown on Ch 4. I think I will probably be watching from home. Standing around all day in the damp and cold won't be easy.

    I love this picture that his owner Heather took when we visited him at his summer quarters. His jockey Rebecca is on the left.

    Here he is earlier this year, on his hols.

    Good luck, Master Frith - and you too, Frith :)

    How come's I get the jet lag before the flight? Have been awake since 4. As a correspondent on FB just said - it is good to be organised and get it over with early.:p
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Master frith have a good first day at your new school

    Internet continues to be problematic but here goes....

    1. Better day at work, yesterday was a bit manic.

    2. I enjoy my drive to work in the morning ( and home too) , in the mornings the roads are much quieter, the sun through the trees is lovely and the parrots and lorikeets swooping in front of me make me smile.

    3. We got our t3sco delivery yesterday....how excited we were! Pleased with what we got and pleased with the prices and free delivery .

    4. DD2 and I walked to the top of our wee town to the hardware store to buy canes for the peas and tomatoes growing rapidly in the veg patch.

    5. Had a big bowl of melon this morning at work,it was very yummy and free :) I have been doing my wii fit (again!) last few mornings, have set my alarm to go off half hour earlier and getting up and doing my wii fit. I lost weight a couple of years ago and stayed the same but I think I have comfort ate my way through OHs illness and treatments! Have put on 5 lbs and I really am starting to feel it in my clothes around my tummy. I am not going up a size!!!

    6. I was very kindly given a gift by a customer, who I've only ever chit chatted to, nothing in depth! She had made me a wheat bag heaty thing. It was very kind of her to think of me and I really appreciated it....was for my Christmas!

    Have the loveliest of days .

    Thanks for all smaller son's good wishes.

    We got up at the crack of dawn and he was really excited! He got in my sister's car at 7.20, she saw him onto the minibus at 7.45 and he should be getting to school round about now. :-)

    McCulloch, a special set of 5 old-style pleasures thanks for those pix, especially the last one!
    I've already looked back at them several times.
