Amanda: agony and ecstasy

For those who believe us to be out living the dream, forget it. The last couple of days have been fraught with bitter disappointments. Howell made it through to tomorrow in good style. Dorey did not make it to the semis. I consider her my first string dog. None of my regulars could console me as there was no cell device here. You get the picture. The car park diminished rapidly today. Handlers headed home to all places in North America.

Bridget Strang is practised at throwing a party. Great barbecue. Horse arena turned party hole.

Opening ceremonies at seven tomorrow morning. Double lift final afterwards for top seventeen.

Same time next year with the cowboys
