Must go to Channel 9 and their coverage of the marathon this morning.
We mostly watch cable tv... and it came to our notice 2 months ago that for $49.95 you could subscribe to Austar digital and get to see all the Commonwealth games coverage without all the free-to-air crap. It seemed like a good idea at the time... and we thought that we would get around to subscribing to it. Hmmmm. Not so.
So, we have been watching the Channel 9 coverage and anxiously got up early this morning to get all the horses fed so that we could watch the women's and mens marathon. We saw the start and the finish... but all the bits in between (all 2 hours of it!) were no where to be found! Heats for the 50m backstroke and every other 50m event heat was shown with little or no coverage of the marathon. Sorry but that rates up there with our favourite transport company!
So, to Channel 9 .... we give the coveted SOD of the week award!!! Boo Hiss Boo !!!!
And now a word from our Sponsors..........
Massie Lodge would like to explain to those who have seen the photo of our new horse Thunderousclassics (TeeCee) in a previous post and notice that Evan has a bottle of beer in the photo... Yes! It is a beer (Carlton Cold in fact!) however, the photo was taken at 6.30pm well after all horses were tucked in bed and after I just got home from work.
LOL
The Trouble With Jimmy...
Well, tomorrow is D-Day (or W-Day maybe?) for Jimmy who has tried Evan's patience once too often with his little jaunts into the dry mares paddock (I think today was the last straw!). He is over 5 months now and his mother and (Auntie) Libby are ready to stop sharing their feeds with him.
A Budding Romance....
Eric and Joey ... Joey and Eric. Cant bear to be away from each other. Joey has to eat next to Eric or she wont eat. Eric has to have his hay strategically placed so that they can share. *Sigh* I havent told Eric that Joey will be going away in a week or so.... I'll leave that to Evan. lol
and finally.....
Red Meat ...
The only good thing about Channel 9 and their coverage of the Comm. Games is the "quirky" advertisement with Sam Neill about Red Meat. Im not one to advertise an advertisement but it really is a good ad and it certainly beats Darryl Eastlakes at the weightlifting or Ray Warren at the swimming!
Hmm. I must be tired if iam talking about an advertisement on the television. lol
Until next time.
