So I was just in the kitchen cooking one of my speciality snacks (you will notice I didn’t say ‘meals’), when I started wondering about cheese-graters.<\/p>\n
If someone could please invent a cheese-grater that didn’t remove the skin from my fingertips, I’d buy it.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
We were show-jumping this evening, a session with Owen.\u00c2\u00a0 At one stage Owen said, ‘What are you feeding Tom, Bren?’<\/p>\n
Rocket fuel, obv.<\/p>\n
Tom showed no sign that he had been out on Saturday (you’ve read the result, already, yes?) as he towed me all over the show-jumping course.<\/p>\n
I honestly expected him to be a little laid back.<\/p>\n
Ha!<\/p>\n
I was back in control for our second lap and after the third, faultless journey over the course, we called it a day.<\/p>\n
Owen had a good time at Broadway this weekend; 2nd, 7th and 8th, but even these results must be no consolation for his Badminton disappointment, one of his four-star horses being unwell, whilst the other didn’t make it off the wait list.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in other news…<\/p>\n
I’m at home tomorrow, but on Wednesday I’m off up to Worcester. It’s a work thing, not a pleasure thing. I have decided to be radical and let the train take the strain; Charlbury to Worcester Foregate Street and return. I’ve got a four-minute walk from the station in Worcester.<\/p>\n
I had a really bad night’s sleep last night; less than two hours, and then I was up for five hours, then back to sleep for three more.<\/p>\n
It’s safe to describe my state right now as ‘knackered’.<\/p>\n
I’m going to use tomorrow to have a burst of activity on ‘Shelved’. I have done no work on the Sitcom for a couple of weeks, but I have done a massive amount of thinking about it.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is that I want to rethink the first and last episodes. I think there is a way to make a visual gag in episode one, dovetail in to the last episode of season one, in such a way that the comedy ending of the season becomes lastingly bitter-sweet.<\/p>\n
And the headline above?<\/p>\n
Well, can you imagine having sex with Jan Moir?<\/p>\n
