It was like an updated version of turn it off and turn it back on again! My main problem was working out how to get the phone out of it’s new case and then finding where the SIM card was. So much for all this modern technology stuff when the way to fix it is to take the card out, blow on it (...

Another problem: bought a new phone yesterday. Not an upgrade or anything. Phone says not registered on network. Car phone warehouse set it up for me. New phone number etc. Is there something I’m supposed to do? Don’t really want to go to the shop as we’re still recovering from Storm Arwen...

Recently let my iPad do an upgrade. Big mistake. Has taken me all day to reinstall emails etc but it now keeps switching itself off after a few minutes. How can I stop this happening? It says there’s a security problem. Will ask for a new hub ( haven’t had a new one for years). Totally dependent...

I just hope the mare is ok. Not sure what I think about this.

Is the ground a bit slippy? A horse slipped on the bend in one of the earlier races.

Binge watching Outlaws….

I waxed so lyrical about Sea the Stars that he actually sent me a copy of his book about him, the inscription this time being ‘as promised’. Lovely chap: never dreamt he’d do it! I guess we Arkle lovers share a common bond even if I did come late to the party…..

It took me decades to forgive him. As Sean Magee wrote in my Arkle book ‘To Mo, who never stopped loving Mill House but eventually forgave Arkle’. Crikey, digging out the book I’ve just found a Cheltenham racecard signed by Willie Robinson and Peter O’Sullevan, too. Wondered where that had gone!

Fosters Island Kelso. Always make a point of backing Hammond horses when using Emma’s claim. Didn’t notice it. So much racing on today. Damn.

I’ve just re read my favourite book from childhood Ghost Horse: Stallion of the Cimarron by Joseph E Chipperfield. I’m sure it’s the book that Spirit was based on. I got it years ago via a book search and cried my eyes out when I received it. The book search people said people often tell them.

I’ve just had a horrible week waiting for my passport to be delivered (or not delivered) from the passport office. The tracker said it had been delivered on Saturday but it wasn’t at my house. Spent the rest of the weekend panicking that it had fallen into the wrong hands. Spent hours on the...

I was actually thinking of you the other day, Tanlic, so it’s a relief to hear from you. With the pandemic and stuff it’s a worry when people don’t post for ages. Take care. ( I think it’s because Sprinter Sacre is now available for hiring out for events etc and I thought to myself ‘I know...

I never got to see the new Spirit stuff albeit having the video of the Walt Disney film from a few years ago. However I keep watching all of the posts on Facebook of the wild mustang rescues in America given that they’re still being rounded up. I haven’t seen my granddaughter for agesbecause...

Good to know you’re still with us! How are you?

Wonderful that such a small stable could have had two such amazing horses. She must have had a very long and happy retirement. (just read that she will be buried next to Limestone Lad so he can watch over her. I seem to have something in my eye again…..)

Just heard. I really loved him when he was racing in the U.K. He had a quirkiness about him that I liked. Awful.

Am I right in thinking that we’ve lost several Ebor winners over the past few years?

Oh how sad. RIP

Good to hear that part of his prize money goes to the Royal Marsden Hospital though.
