The TV has been tuned into Channel 7 (and when we got sick of Sandy Roberts, changed it over to SBS!) and we have been watching the Olympics for most of the weekend. I could say it was because, once again Mother Nature insisted that it made more sense to be inside than outside - so, after doing all the things that needed to be done outside, it was a case of heading inside, putting another log on the fire, finding a good spot on the lounge and veging out!
The men's road race was certainly a highlight and was most exciting come the end of the race. The women's road race is currently on - and they are riding the circuit in the rain: not much fun.
We actually saw some of the team Dressage competing which was terrific although Im not sure how much Simon Marshall knows about the finer points of dressage!
This week has seen Adam come out to Massie Lodge and trim the yearlings feet (which took most of the morning) and he is due to come out late next week to start the trims all over again.
Monika made a rescue visit on Saturday as Bessie Merle decided to ask the "ultimate question" to Matilda and lost the argument. Luckily the injuries sustained were not serious, but still require some nursing and antibiotics. Matilda, sorry, Her Majesty, Matilda is still leader of the clan even at 10 years of age and Bessie Merle who is half her age will have to settle for Lady-in-Waiting for the time being. Bessie Merle, obviously being the broodbitch thinks that its time for her to have the Royal Scepte - however, Matilda does not agree.
Kenny Kinjite (Kinquoz) gets his first race start on Monday at Murwillumbah (Race 3) with Jamie Quinnell riding.
Watch this space for young Maz.
Moony Man has moved from the stable of Natalie Hole and is now under the expert care of Greg Kennedy at the Sunshine Coast where he should finally find his feet. Go the Moon Man!
All in all its been a quiet weekend and its the quiet weekends where Evan and I just hang out together that seem to be the best ones ever.
Happiness is.
