Lovely Girls Bum Touching

It’s one of those two times every year when I throw caution to the wind and throw away my money on the horsies. So far the Cheltenham festival has not been kind to me, I got one winner on Tuesday, but at odds of 2/1, I’m not going to be buying that gold-plated Bentley any time soon. Yesterday was a complete bust, my first fella had a chance until his reins broke (sabotage, anyone?) and the other one came a close second. Not close enough! Anyway, bet on a few today, will of course bet on the big one tomorrow, and then I will be a good girl again. At least until Punchestown rolls around.

In other bad luck news, my crack squad of quiz kids failed to set the world alight last night, but we were glad all the same to support a very worthy cause in the form of the KAL Case (read all about it). We came out around mid-table in the end, but those questions were HARD! We also scooped up some lovely consolation prizes, courtesy of Herc’s quick thinking of an alternative explanation for the LGBT acronym (see title above). So, in conclusion, Yay Team!

For all who were asking, Sib 2 is doing well, still having tests, but we’re all relieved that it’s not what we feared it might be. That was probably the worst two weeks of my life, waiting for that news. So he’s quit smoking and is aiming for a full recovery, and a return to his acting career. He says hi to all wellwishers.
