Someone said on Facebook that AA has had a wind op. Is that right?

Maybe Emma Thompson realised her husband looked like Ruskin and decided to make a film about him! It reminded me a lot of the relationship between Lewis Carrol and Alice Liddell. The Victorians had strange attitudes towards children but, then again they also invented childhood. When we were sans...

Watched it last night. Think I would have found it hard going at the cinema but enjoyed it curled up on the sofa with the dog and a cup of tea. Started watching it the other night but nodded off ( not because I was bored but because it was late) so read up on the history behind it all before...

Thanks Marb. Pity he bombed at York the other week. I missed his win the other day. I don’t think there’s time to get another race in. Annoying thing is, just looking at the racecard, his RPR would give him a good chance in the race if Adam could get a good claimers on board.

I’ve backed Wise Eagle at 33/1 for the Northumberland Plate. I know it’s a sentimental bet and I’ve no idea if he’s likely to get into the race but he’s so good on all weather tracks. Stargazers entered too so I couldn’t leave him out but Wise Eagle is our local lad dun good and I’d be beside...

I watched a sweet little film on BBC the other night called Three Summers. An Australian rom com. I don’t tend to watch rom coms but this was a bit of a cross between A Blowing Wind and The Sapphires. I love Australian films and it turns out this one was written by Ben Elton.

Has there ever been a last minute punt like this on a horse in the Derby before?

What’s all this about Cottenham closing?

There was a great programme on Blaze yesterday, a sort of Irish version of Antiques Roadshow, which went round Dingle and Killarney. Brought back lovely memories of our little tours of Ireland that we used to combine with Punchestown Festival. Great Photography Challenge tonight on BBC which...

Is it likely to be repeated? I’d never heard of Blaze. I loved the Ken Burns documentaries about The West and The Civil War.

Thanks. I wanted to see that when it was on at the cinema but missed it...hope it’s ok iplayer. Sure it will be.

Didn’t realise that Hancock was a doctor/nurse/paramedic....

Ayr Poet got third. Got my money back.

Well done Marb! I got the second as well using the well I’ve backed pretty much everything else so may as well back the outsider system!

Remembered to back it and Euro Implosion.Also had to back Sauchiehall Street in the same race under the backing horses named after places I’ve been to system. Thankfully Winfola has been pulled from the race or I would have had to back her, too, as she’s bound to win on a day when I don’t.

Just read it and am trying to take it in. He was only 10 but it was as if he’d been around forever.

I half watched Tea with Mussolini the other night. Don’t understand why I’ve never seen it before. Absolutely charming film. Must watch it properly.

Dragon Symbol is SO beautiful! Like polished steel.

I’ve been backing the Easterby horses recently but always seem to pick the wrong ones.

Jason Weaver just tipped Dash of Spice Marb. Please everybody will Wise Eagle to win in the 3.15 at York. It would really kick start Adam Nicols training career! He’ll probably finish last but I’m getting nervous already.
