Sad to say, I can actually top your friend - about to ride into the ring (well, a flat bit of field marked out with cones) when a mouse coughs in the bushes next to us (or something equally frightening but undetectable to human senses). Jester flies off sideways, and I'm so busy thinking about getting the entrance right I can't keep my seat and go off over the shoulder. In front of everyone.

Catch him, get back on, go in, trot down centre line, halt at X, rear enormously. At least kept my seat that time though.

Happy days!

Anyway, no running tonight, as being festively cultural (going to see the Nutcracker in Mancs) so next session will be long cycle to work tomorrow, and possibly three miles easy run at luchtime if I'm up to it.

Thought I'd best mention running, having dragged the thread off on an equine tangent.

Hi all. Good to be back. I was quite paranoid for a bit - thought RW had finally caught up with me and chucked me out. BBB, was it really you who blew the fuse?

EP, yes, you've got the common one. But it's useful - your blood could potentially be given to 5 out of every 6 people (everyone who's not rhesus negative). As always, it's not quite that simple.

Which of us could donate blood to which others is a recurring topic of discussion among my strange offspring because we cover most of the range between us - O negative all the way through to AB positive, with only two (Kevin and Tinkerbell) the same as one another. Being rhesus negative myself, I was able to find out all the kids' blood groups at birth.

I got lots of work done while the forums were down, then spent a fortune on Amazon. That's the kids' Christmas presents sorted out - I wish! All those documentary sets on DVD are really just the things I wanted to watch myself and didn't get round to.

Too busy V-rap its really screwing with my training!
My little fella was 5 today...now I feel old! Did mean more beer and party food though.
I believe you went for the booze..I'm sure the teachers will be delighted!
How was your day?

Happy birthday to the little fella. Did he have a good party?

I went for the booze in a big way (lots of kids = lots of teachers. And heads, and deputies, and secretaries, and heads of catering who give Kevin extra pizza). Might have difficulty resisting the temptation to sample some of it. I suppose the best present I could give the teachers is a stash of Valium, but there might be a few little ethical issues there.

Not too bad a day except for grotty dismal rain and absence of daylight.

Now I'm having my last unearned plate of sponge and custard because training begins again tomorrow.

This evening was his third cake, thats what you get in the modern family where there are three sets of grandparents!
Both kids get spoilt rotten being the only 'youngies'in a large family.
I could do with some of those valium v-rap big bad boss type man coming form the states tomorrow! Time to earn my crust and raise some more pennies for research! So must go and get some sleep!
Take care
Hope things are a little more normal in the morning!
