That TV advertisement is right, dammit! I do need to remove stubborn stains and I am worried about damaging the colour. But lo my friends! There is a product that I simply need to dip my stubbornly-stained clothing into and behold… the stain is gone! This must be magic. Or sorcery. Anyway, back in the real world…<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier I managed to spill my craftsman-like constructed cup of tea all over the kitchen worksurface.<\/p>\n

No significant damage was done, but so great was the crisis that once the damage was repaired Die Hard 4.0 and a significant quantity of ice cream followed.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere…<\/p>\n

I haven’t ridden this weekend – the weather’s been awful – but I have finished the very last task at the yard of clearing up Beech’s things. Much poignancy.<\/p>\n

I’ve also emailed Jo (new trainer) to postpone our next session – I haven’t had time to put her ideas in to practice from the last time yet.<\/p>\n

Vinnie looks good, I wish I was giving him the quality of work that he deserves.<\/p>\n

Gary’s repaired the power steering feed pipe on the lorry (yay!), but we don’t have anything booked in the competition schedule – though I’ve just noticed there’s some dressage on Sunday 16th December down at Huntley in Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n

And here’s a thing… those Southern Comfort television commercials. Haven’t the advertising agency realised the awful truth yet, that they’re being handicapped by the fact that the product tastes like sickly cat wee?<\/em><\/p>\n

We had breakfast at Little Chef this morning (yeah, rock’n’roll!), a token of apology from me to The Lovely S for behaving like a complete and utter twot yesterday.<\/p>\n

After breakfast a trip to the yard where I cleared stuff up, as previously mentioned.<\/p>\n

Then shopping in Kidderminster (woo!) where I scored a rather nice two-piece pinstripe from Next. It’s a smart suit and the cut on the trousers emphasises things very well.<\/p>\n

Then home via Blockbusters where Die Hard 4.0, a tub of ice cream and a large packet of chocolatey things invited themselves in to my possession.<\/p>\n

And now it’s the hysterically delicious Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. Interspersed with fcuking irritating fcuking adverts.<\/p>\n

We were going to the cinema today but the reviews that The Golden Compass<\/em> has been getting are absolutely awful, so we passed.<\/p>\n

Christmas looms.<\/p>\n

The place I’m working closes down for the Christmas\/New Year period.<\/p>\n

Christmas Day sees the annual fried breakfast and Buck’s Fizz at the yard – even those on full livery have to do their horses AM and PM to give Sue at least one day in the year off.<\/p>\n

Christmas Day evening and Boxing Day will see a visit to the outlaws; time will be spent in the company of Damien, the child who bears the number of The Beast.<\/p>\n

A post-Christmas trip to Spain to visit Daughter is becoming a possibility, there’s lots of arranging to be done to make it so, but the chance of a few days in her company exists.<\/p>\n

I have two books that shall be reviewed over Christmas and have made the conscious decision that OU submissions may well be late while I settle many tasks down at work.<\/p>\n

And The Lovely S has decided that when the last episode of Buffy<\/em> has been viewed we should perhaps move on to 24<\/em>. Whilst I see merit in the suggestion I can’t help wondering where Angel<\/em> fits in to the plan.<\/p>\n

There doesn’t seem to be any less<\/em> going on in my life but it does look as though I’m managing things more efficiently.<\/p>\n
