I only ask because I have just been listening to the soundtrack. I say listening but I suppose I should say hearing the soundtrack. I was sittting at the desktop and I had left the TV in the kitchen...
Still having to look at the Americas for a bit of interest although Germany held a meeting on Thursday, and French racing starting up on Monday next at Longchamp. It looks to me as if we will be...
Strewth it is May already but the Year has come to a standstill. Looks as if things could get moving again in a couple of weeks or less so fingers crossed. With that in mind I have took our motors...
Bit late today with a post....been sitting out front with the neighbours toasting a significant birthday for one. We have sat at the end of our drives since 2pmish and had a chat and a drinky poos ....
After a warm and sunny week we have had a bit of rain today. Mustn't complain, the garden needs it and the water butts were getting low. This weekend would normally be a big FA Cup weekend, the...
What a glorious day up here. Warm and bright sunshine in a near cloudless sky. We should be enjoying the Football, and Rugby seasons reaching a nail biting finish for some and the flat racing getting...
Groundhog day again, and the lockdown continues. A trip to Gulfstream to do the ITV7 again and the intriguing virtual Grand National. I have placed the ITV7 using the following 7 and will be putting...
Dylan released this yesterday......17 minutes long and said to have been recorded a while ago. Not sure myself...he may have written it a while ago, but he voice tells me that it is at least recent...
We live in strange times. The Lincoln should have been run today at Doncaster, the traditional if not official flat racing calendar opener being the first "big" race. After a week of glorious sunshine...
True to type a British Vacuum Cleaner firm design a much needed quick fix ventilator to supply the desperate need for the devices. "Nick spent Sunday learning how ventilators worked" ........... and...
Today's thread comes to AB from a secret survival bunker somewhere deep underground in N.Wales. It has been hard to concentrate, what with the hum of the water filtering plant and the pervasive drone...
Blimey....as if last week hadn't been tough enough they then give us todays impossible task. No heroics from me start steady and look for a bit of E/W in those big field handicaps. Done the ITV7 and...
Well the festival is still on....it takes a lot to scare the racing fraternity. I read an interesting comment about sports stadiums being full and the perceived dangers of the virus being transmitted,...
Saturday is here again and time for my weekly flutter. Sandown off which is a real shame, it looked like a very good meeting and is always well supported as a pre cursor to the festival next week by...
Another weekend of stormy weather resulting in a rather good meeting at Newbury being abandoned. The ITV7 becomes the ITV5, and we now have the prospect of the coronavirus threatening to play havoc...
Another wild weekend of weather with only the sport as viable entertainment. Newcastle off but the football and Rugby definitely on. All the 2s in the date this morning so I shall probably have a load...
That was a treat. We have just had half a dozen Bramblings visiting the feeder. Lovely little bird and confident too. Stand their ground and only move on when they have had their fill. They appear to...
Shocking weather again this morning. Surprised that it wasn't all off. Wouldn't be surprised if we have abandoned meetings when the wind gets up properly. That in mind, nothing too ambitious and hopes...
Just a bit of fun. How well do you know the night sky? I amazed myself by getting them all. Only 12 questions and a smattering of Greek mythology helps....
