Plus 15 and dry when driving in.

Sorry for the delay this morning.. Computer frozen..not me oversleeping..!

Anyway..Welcome rain over night to help lay the dust.

Our trotting ring is very useful at this time of year, but the only down side is that the surface on it is a carpet one.

Brilliant thought it is and it has certainly lasted longer than the other all weather surfaces we have tried. But the surface does has one drawback and that is it gets very dusty when it is very dry.

Most mornings, at this time of year, we put the steam cleaner over it i.e. spraying water over the surface to stop it getting dusty.. that certainly works well.

John might not have done an apprenticeship with Michel Roux but he must have been there enough times to appreciate good cooking and how to do it.. impressed. Master chef?

Big day of cricket... I must start by admitting how wrong I was when I forecasted yesterdays match between New Zealand and India.. I thought, as I am sure most did, that India were odds on to win.. but they didn’t.. No such thing as a certainty!

Today is a huge game for England as they take on the old enemy Australia at Edgbaston.. What a game it is going to be.. we need England to win to avoid a Southern Hemisphere final...

Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why?

Because women realize its not worth buying an entire pig.. Just to get a little sausage..
