I made a decision this morning: I wasn't going to rush. Rush physically as in: from the house to the first bus stop, from the terminus to the bank machine to the next bus, from the bus to the taxi. As in mentally: doing the whole procedure in my head whilst my body moved it, …
This is a Test
THIS IS ONLY A TEST Dressage test, that is. Having recently watched my first ever execution of said sort of test, I could see what the attraction was, and it's certainly a good argument to take up against those who think that you just sit there on the back of a horse. We did a …
All King Edward’s Horses Carry Many Brave Fools
Would this be the common mnemonic, or is it different in your part of the world?
Well, You Should Have Just Watched It On Telly Like Everyone Else!
SEE BELOW Yeah, well, okay, so... shut up. I just couldn't. I couldn't bear to sit there and know that other people, people I know, were watching it at the same time. It's the equivalent of shutting your eyes, and thinking that just because you can't see someone else, that someone else can't see you. …

A Notion
I am still trying to watch the programme. My Mac won't download the required plug-in. I tried a PC the other night, and after patiently [not much] waiting for it to download to the desktop, it decided that it didn't want to play it after all. I had to use an internet place yesterday whilst …
Down to the Marrow
After my first three blasts of amatsu, I'm now down to a visit every month or so. I reckon I should have called in after flying off of Ruby, but I was so relieved that my brain wasn't dripping out my ears, and that I could still do simple maths, that I figured everything was …
Never. Again.
It was sunny yesterday morning. I began to project. If it was sunny, then maybe we could jump the course that I didn't get to jump the Friday night. If we were going to jump the course, then I would take Delilah. If I took Delilah, then I wouldn't really need the long stick, would …
With the Ade of Lucoz
BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!* I had forgotten about Lucozade. The bubbly orange energy drink is an old standby as regards the morning [the entire day] after, and whilst not in the same league as Red Bull, 380mls of it can get one through a low energy day. It is positioned as a sports drink, …
Wibbly Wobbly Wonder
NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS, IS IT ICE CREAM? I was kinda crap on Thursday, and though it might have been, I don't know, being rusty, couldn't keep my balance at all, but I had had Rebel on Tuesday and even though we had an ongoing battle for the bit, it was a good night, …
Oh, Man [Part Two]
Wading through pony campers to get to my kit bag this morning, a young voice ventured to ask: "Was that you on the telly last night?" I looked down into a girl's beaming face; her friend, over her shoulder, blinked, and blushed. "Uh... uh huh." "You were really good!" She smiled, and I... said, 'Uh. …
