Plus 15 and damp when driving in.

A fair bit of rain overnight and what we had last night meant that we have had 25mm of rain so far this week..

David Bass is keen that I should pay him for riding out so often! Is he becoming more of a capitalist?? Or is he increasing his fitness levels in preparation for a return to race riding?

David was to be fair here most of the morning as John and Penny Perriss called in late morning to see their horses..

John’s Bobhopeornohope, Getaweapon, I Spy A Diva, Lady Of The Night, Lots Of Luck and Rockys Treasure and Penny’s Hurlerontheditch and Wandrin Star.. They all had a trip up the gallops.

Roger always sets the day up for John Webber and Richard Sheppard when they hosted their Colliers race day at Warwick..

So the juggler got out the machetes and started juggling them, first three, then more, finally seven at one time, overhand, underhand, behind the back, putting on a dazzling show and amazing the officer.

While the juggler was performing this amazing circus act, a car passed by. The driver did a double take and said, “My God. I’ve got to give up drinking! Look at the test..

Bored at the Airport..
