Do you mean 28th/29th? I shall be at Tackley Show, Oxfordshire (good, well organised, local show) with my dog and my camera. Haven't anything to show now - been there, got the T-shirt, but still love to go along just for the 'craic'! (and have a good gossip!)

I am trying out a new horse this weekend Last weekend was a non-horsey weekend. The weather was fine, i was feeling particularly saintly and thought i would do something nice for OH. Mainly, due to the credit card statements imminent arrival sometime this coming week! I had a moment of madness in Selfridges and bought the entire range of anti-age/anti-wrinkle products off the YSL counter. Infact i spent so much money on these wonder products, i expect by next weekend to be asked for ID at the offy! Anyway, i decided to have a barbeque, and invited Cruella (ma-in-law) and Rumplestilskin (pa-in-law) ... thats our 'polite' nicknames for them, the usual ones refer to odd shaped body parts and are rude, disrepectful and unprintable! So 'they' arrive, Rumplestilskin manouvres his juggernaunt (nissan micra) around the drive, trying to find a shady spot, mowing over my tulips in the process, then bangs his head on a low hanging branch of the Mimosa. Drops the homemade lumpy custard trifle in the drive .... there is a God....and says a very bad swear word, very loudly, infront of Mrs. D from next door who was on her way back from church! OH lit the barbeque, or rather tried, using one single fire lighter and a bag of damp charcoal. I am known for my pyromania, and yes, out of sheer determination i got it lit. The nail varnish remover i used provided scenes on a par with the New Year fireworks display at Sydney Harbour Bridge, we also need two new fence panels and i am looking forward to the hair regrowing on my forearm and up my nostrils. Once the flames and tempers had subsided somewhat, dampened tea towels for the fire, Stella Artois for the tempers, I cooked. Infact i cooked and cooked and cooked, but nothing really got "cooked" the heat had gone off the coals due to the original temperature of the fire, which would have melted wrought iron, people started nibbling the salad ,the cold ham and boiled eggs, daughter came out with a bowl of Frosties and a scowl, son went off to Domino's with his Oompa Loompa girlfriend, moaning about starvation, neglet and he thinks he has ricketts. Then i noticed how much pink bubbly had gone, i had only had one glass, daughter hates it, Oompa Loompa drinks beer cos son thinks she's cool, so it could only have been Cruella!!! Three bottles!!! We found her under the gazebo at the top of the garden, in fits of laughter with her extremely generous bottom having gone straight through the material of the garden chair! Extracting her from the frame of the chair proved futile, she was wedged in there like a Blackpool Winkle, so OH got the hacksaw out and cut one of the legs off the chair, (duh!) which then collapsed under the weight of her, as she struggled to stand up, she popped out of the frame like a cork, staggered about, tripped over the rockery and fell over in a bed of bluebells! She was still laughing her head off on the journey to A&E, luckily the copious amounts of pink Cava numbed the pain, and nearly 8 hours later we left with her in plaster and on crutches, with a broken ankle and a monumental headache after sobering up quite quickly after an injection in her bum! Rumplestilkin got in on the act with the bump on his head, and had the triage nurse glue the miniscule cut together and insisted on a bandage round his head and looked like Pudsey The Bear! I am not having any more non-horsey weekends, and will spend the week using my anti-age/anti-wrinkle products which i feel are well deserved after the barbeque from hell. Thats if i don't get taken away by the Battered In-Law Society, as they both went home looking alot worse than when they arrived! hahahahahaha fantastic! we had names for my dad's mum and dad (rest their souls) but my fave one was Pinky and Perky. Grandma was Pinky, coz after any amount of alcohol her nose went red and her cheeks went pinky and Grandad was Perky because he never missed a trick... well he did, he just perked up when he could find fault with anything. Usually it was upto me, the prodical grandson so some how come up with some kind of reasonable logic as to y things were wrong, making them purposely right.... i usually coined the phrase, its irish. He seemed to accept that answer, either that or he didn't get it..... anyway what was the subject for this topic again?

Will be visiting my Mum in hospital (been there 6 weeks now and no imminent release date!).
Can't go to any shows as too young to drive - boo, hoo.
However, my pony doesn't seem to mind - been doing lots of hacks and a little jumping and dressage at our yard - and so keeping both of our minds occupied.
Think this season might be a dead lost as far as showing goes but will try and get to some more local shows as a spectator - just that train times don't seem to co-incide with shows' early starts. If you see a stray waif wandering along the grass verge, that's me folks! Definately going to get to Windsor - one of my favourite shows.
Really looking forward to seeing some of the new ponies that I have been reading about on various websites.

Brilliant as usual OB.
Nikki, sorry about your mum - hope all goes well.
Dont anyone come near me at Spring Festival as my luck is so bad its frightening...
Does anyone know what type of course Nick Snelling builds? have two spooky ponies in the whp classes...(I think!)
Best thing that's happened to me in a long time is seeing our old WHP doing a little sj class last night, ears pricked, eyes bright loving every minute of it, if she could speak I know she would have said YEE HAW! as she flew over the last fence.....
And would someone PLEASE buy my house!
