Plus 13 and dry when driving in.. It is getting warmer!

John and Laura Garrett called in to see their horses.. Jeudidee, The Bull McCabe and his KBRS horses Magical Escape, Fair Frontieres and Gerard Mentor... They then went up to see Jason Maguire who is breaking in Lully du Houx.

Samantha Drake called in late morning.. A first visit to Thorndale for her..

Good to see Robert and Nicola Baillie yesterday.. Robert supplies all our haylage and as a passing comment, just before he left, he mentioned that prices were on the move.. upwards!

The BHA sent round a circular yesterday informing us that Nurofen has been added to the banned drug list when found at the races.. in the racecourse Stables to be precise .. Apparently, a horse was found nuzzling through a stable staff's personal handbag and met a packet of Nurofen..!....No joke.. if caught, the stable person or rather I imagine the trainer faces a £1500.00 fine..Some headache!!

I was slightly concerned that all those magnificent fighter/bomber planes that have been flying over Thorndale for the last couple of days were preparing for World War 3 (might be) but it turns out that the Fairford's Royla International Air Tattoo starts today.

It is golf's time for the spotlight as The (British) Open at Royal Troon also starts today.

Also starting today is the Second Test against The West Indies at Trent Bridge.

Talking cricket.. The England Ladies team have won their T20 series against New Zealand

KNITTING

A Motorway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the M1

Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting!

Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the policeman wound down his window, with his hand hard on the his horn, yelled, “PULL OVER!”

“NO!” the blonde yelled back, “IT'S A SCARF!”

I forgot to mention that it was Grand National winning jockey Marcus Amrytage's 60th birthday yesterday.. it was not in the Daily Telegraph even though he writes for them!
