Plus 14 and when driving in. 14mm of rain here yesterday.. 7 mm at Worcester and 30mm at Nottingham racecourse!

More rain. St Swithins day yesterday so are we in for 40 days of wet weather? On that note poor Newton Abbot fell foul of the yesterday’s weather when their forecasted yellow warning hit them and waterlogged the racecourse..They have had a torrid time this year in more ways than one.

Alex, our blacksmith, spent most of the yesterday hammering on new 'Dr Martins' to the horses feet that returned from the fields.. back breaking probably.. sweaty.. not in this weather!

Really sad to read that Richard Landale has died.. Richard was a star for Kelso and for racing in the North.. He was always good fun to be around and he certainly made Kelso what it is today.. He will be hugely missed.

Call me a grumpy old man but when I saw a Gloucester Highways truck with two men filling in the 4 huge potholes on our local road my instant reaction was that my mug of tea would not spill over my trousers when driving in every morning..

I went to thank them, but then noticed that the biggest pothole was not filled.. When I asked them if they could or were going to, they said that it was not on their ticket and had not been ringed with a white line, so no!.. I does make you mad at times??

Tuesday brought in our weekly vet visit.

It was good to see Graham Potts fully recovered from his day with Mat at Lord’s..  Apparently it was a long day and even longer journey home?

Paddy and Murphy Enjoy a Day Off

Two best friends, Paddy and Murphy, are working on the site of an office building.

Paddy says to Murphy, "Well, buddy, I'm going to get a day off by pretending to be mad!"

Paddy climbs up the rafters, hangs upside down by his knees and then shouts at the top of his lungs, "I'm a light bulb".

He kept saying it until the foreman had enough and yelled, "Paddy, you fool! You've gone mad. Go home!"

Paddy leaves the site. Murphy starts packing his things so that he, too, can leave. The foreman asks, "Where are you going?"

Murphy says, "Well, I can't very well work in the dark, can I?"

To finish.. Happy birthday to my daughter in law.. India Bailey..Mind it could well have been yesterday, but without my phone to remind me I am slightly guessing!!
