We three Kings of orient are<\/em>

I don’t know. It just somehow fits my slightly idiosyncratic mood.<\/p>\n

Perhaps because Home Alone 2 is on the TV.<\/p>\n

I’m not listening to it though.<\/p>\n

I’ve got my studio headphones on; I’m currently listening to Ray Charles’ ‘Heartbreaker’ on Barnsley Sime’s internet radio station<\/a><\/p>\n

I am new to what Barnsley Sime does; it ain’t half bad, mum.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

I have spent the day doing pony-related things.<\/p>\n

I was shut in a car with a very nice lady.<\/p>\n

Judging dressage.<\/p>\n

I seem to have accidentally become the new owner of a lovely Dun-coloured pony who was in our section.<\/p>\n

I sneaked him in to the back of the car later, when his owner wasn’t looking.<\/p>\n

Right now he’s grazing in the garden.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have to find somewhere more appropriate to keep him.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Vinnie says ‘hello’.<\/p>\n

In that whickery kind of ‘Huhuhuhuh’ way he does.<\/p>\n

We seem to have bought a new suite.<\/p>\n

And I haven’t bought one of these:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Kawasaki ZX9R<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

But it was close there for a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n

As well as the pony (who is at this moment quietly grazing on my neighbour’s rhododendrons), I almost came home with a puppy.<\/p>\n

I know I can’t have one because of my stupid hours and daftly enormous travelling and stupid job but, and this is totally true, a small stray puppy, about 3 months old, was handed in to the Secretary’s tent.<\/p>\n

It was gorgeous.<\/p>\n

And nearly mine.<\/p>\n

But a sense of the common variety came upon me and I left him there.<\/p>\n

Though I do wonder if he was claimed by his rightful owners.<\/p>\n

And finally.<\/p>\n

I don’t understand why sitting in a car judging a day-full of dressage is tiring, but it flipping is!<\/p>\n

So it is only fitting that I make myself a mug of chocolate and vanish in the direction of my lovely bed, for half an hour in the company of David Niven’s first autobiographical work.<\/p>\n

And then lots of Zs will fall out of my mouth.<\/p>\n

Love you!<\/p>\n
