Scary Faces & Caught You !....


Red Handed Mr Archibald ...
Mr Boo came into the lounge only to catch him engaging in one of those social networking sites. Do you think he looks guilty ?


You betcha !!!!!!


Boo is almost 5 but here she is practicing being a teenager. God Help us ....

1. Ah, look at the lovely little face, complete with purple eye show and a gappy grin.


2. Hmm ... The gappy grin has gone ...


3. Only to be replaced by the 'Whatever' look ...


4. And finally the 'Teenager' look ...

It didn't last long, Ooh, I'd say about 10 secs to be exact. She's not normally a moody mare but what with this past week being so higglepiggledy with school being so on and off it's been a very weird week and boredom has kicked in a little bit.

We wanted to go racing to Newbury yesterday but the weather put paid to that and the meeting was abandoned. Shame I was sooooo looking forward to seeing the 'Tank' in action again.
The 'Tank' in question' is this mighty beautiful horse called 'Denman' (click for link)

He is the most awesome horse. Huge, powerful, proud, amazingly talented ... a truly wonderful racehorse. The first time I saw him in the flesh I got goosebumps - but then I do get very emotional about my horses. He ran at Kempton instead and got beat by a long, long way. Not to worry he was coming back from a long lay off and he's had problems with his heart. Hopefully by the time the Cheltenham Gold Cup comes round next month he'll be really firing.

I just hope his heart problems don't resurface and that he is kept safe ... he doesn't owe anybody anything.

Blimey, that was a bit of a waffle wasn't it. Can you tell I get very emotional about my racing and horses ?

So is that an actual, bone-fide, sure-fire racing tip then?
Boo beat boy*jelly to the gappy smile. boy*jelly is about to lose the exact same tooth. It has been at an angle for about 3 weeks but he refuses to wobble it!

Your girl is so beautiful - I'm sure she'll give you all those expressions plus a whole lorry-load more when she does reach adolescence. As the 'owner' of one girl just reaching that point, all I can say is 'brace yourself' :-O
