This morning I watched about one hundred daft horse riders in jackets and jodphurs, as they very slowly trotted through the field at the end of my garden. They had a small pack of dogs with them, about twenty yards ahead of the main group. Mr Fox would have heard them from about half a mile away. I presume that if necessary, foxes can swim about twenty yards. Which means it could escape that way.

Did I mention that I once accidentally on purpose sabotaged a deer hunt?

I think at the time of the incident you might have been very young.

The Clangers?

@Hill Wimp you need to educate him fast.

My 17 year old niece is at college to learn baking, she bought a Christmas cake with her. The icing was very hard but the cake inside was absolutely lovely, tasty, moist and the fruit was evenly distributed throughout the cake itself. For a first ever attempt it was a success and we both told her so, I had 2 slices it was so good.

My bad photography doesn't do the cake justice.

We had a lovely day seeing the family, even though my Dad seems to find it a bit much (arrived last and left first), leaving one of his children to drop Mum home!

Just found out there are no trains tomorrow, so I'll need to do the 250 mile round trip to get elder Marmionette back home again - just as well I have only had 2 beers today.

I shall take advantage of the trip to take in the Forfar v Clyde match before heading home.

Daughter dropped off, an outstanding 4-3 win for Forfar, and exquisite wit displayed by one of the supporters in front of me when he shouted "shut the f*ck up you f*cking bollocks" to the opposition manager - it was like having Noel Coward present.

Santa Claus Express!

And that caboose with the passenger size 36", instead of 24" wheels or some such, may be the original Prairie Marksman, which hauled passengers over TP&W's rails until about 1980. Also the railways business car.

I have drained my riding lawn mower of gas and oil, and cleaned the carburetor float bowl, then I walked the dogs, and changed my furnace filter. Nothing like a a decent day to get things done. Too windy for a bicycle ride. I have eaten lunch, mostly remnants of beef and pork from earlier in the week, and a salad.

@User14044 , has the shrine been opened yet?

The low salt light on my dishwasher has come on.
