Just realised we might be able to go to Alnwick on 13 Dec if the weathers ok. We’re usually in the wrong place at the wrong time. Haven’t been to it for years.

I used to crawl into work saying ‘g’day’ to all the patients humming ‘ I’m Peter the possum man’ throughout the day. What is a bit depressing is that I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one.

Oh I love it. Even when I was still working I used to stay up all night listening to it on the radio, pretending I was there. We were going to go one year but I wouldn’t leave my dog for several weeks as she was getting old and had health problems. I still sometimes listen to Radio Sport 927 and...

….remembered what someone wrote about her at the time; she’s a lousy singer but a great vocalist…

I’ve been watching Riot Women which was ok but it got me thinking back to Courtney Love playing Glastonbury which is one of the stand out performances I’ve seen in all the years I’ve been watching it

Just binge watched Leonard and Hungry Paul, a dramedy on BBC rather like Detectorists meets Forest Gump. It’s a repeat but I don’t remember it being on before so perhaps it was on BBC3. I think it’s something that’s going to slip under the radar a bit. Julia Robert’s actually asked if she could...

I saw him at Longchamp and of all the horses walking round the paddock he’s the one that I remember as if it was yesterday; such a beauty.

So what happens to the Midlands National?

Thorpedo Anna’s been retired. Stone bruise and not worth trying to train her for the Breeders Cup. Although someone has said on Facebook that she didn’t look right before her last race.

I backed Dalileo today, too ( only watched the race because Adam had two runners and I always back them). Was top rated on the WHill page and I was quite hopeful of a good run. Bit painful that he finished 4th at such a good price on top of Top Flight Century not getting his head in front. (I’ve...

I used to carry my rather large transistor radio around with me and can still remember Meet on the Ledge being played one day when I was walking round Birmingham. And also remember going to a disco at a local college and as I walked in a song called Lady Samantha by a little known Elton John was...

They did some amazing songs. Timeless classics.

Stumptown registered a famous victory for Ireland in the 135th running of the Velka Pardubicka, but it was not without one or two hair-raising moments for winning jockey Keith Donoghue. Winner of the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham in March, Stumptown took up a prominent early position, but...

It was nearly an Arc situation; not the passport this time but I understand the jockey was a bit late getting there. For once I actually swotted up on the jockey colours so I knew which horse was which. I was mainly watching the young lad in the pink colours whose father had bought the horse and...

We’re the horses and jockeys ok from that earlier race ( not at Keeneland)?

Seddon came out top in my ratings system but Vaguely Royal came second. Make sense of that if you will but at 150/1 I’ve got to go with it!I’m sure I was keeping an eye on Syd Hosies runners a year or so ago but can’t remember why!

…it even made me want to walk the Camino which is now beyond my wonky knees…

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lDwzfyA7gd7OTOTcje2oqvpcDbGEAYVsE Not sure if this link will work. I was sitting in the car years ago waiting for my daughter to feed her horse. I was, unusual for me, listening to classic fm and made a not of this music (just happened to have pen...

This is part of the problem. We both take our cars to the Toyota dealers that we bought the cars from and we know we pay over the odds for any work done. Gone are the days when my ex used to keep our ancient cars going by welding them himself. And memories of me sitting in them while he bled the...
