What woeful Rugby - Just watched Ireland v England. 'Twas not good. Neither side played particularly well but Ireland deserved the win (14-13 to Ireland) - when England had a chance of winning in the last seconds I was willing them to make a mistake as they had played like girls the rest of the time. Two yellow cards for England again. Johnson must be tearing his hair out, just stupid, schoolboy mistakes. I thought it summed England up when seconds before half time they had possession, were running the ball, were just on the half way line but Flood did a soft kick into touch so that they could go back to their changing room. Time for a cup of tea! Oh dear, the Southern Hemisphere lot must be delighted as the Scots v Italian game wasn't much better.

Rest day for the horses apart for Dove who went trotting on the road again - 7 miles and got her heart rate up to 194 bpm. More through anxiety than anything as she doesn't like setting off on her own, but it all helps.

We have been really busy lately emptying some old pig-sties that were full of junk as we are going to convert them into five extra stables. The emptying took 3 solid days and today they were pressure washed. Doug is going to finish rendering the walls tomorrow.

I am tired and am going to bed!
