Plus 8 and dry when leaving for Doncaster.
They reckon May might beat yet another record.. April for the driest and May for the wettest.. we are on 88 mm of rain so far this month..131 in 1967 is the current record.. while the warmest May was 2020..
It was very wet at Bangor and neither Sammeo or Donnie Brasco performed with any real credit. Career changes?
It was pretty souless at Bangor without being allowed indoors.. I felt sorry for them as the really do try there, but rules are rules, and in Wales they are diferent.
BUT good news.. Our world opens a bit more today.. I just hope the Indian variant does not cause us to go backwards..
I am away for the next 4 days .. not on holiday but attending Goffs Sales at Doncaster.. Two days of store sales and then two days of horses in training.. we are selling Another Venture on Thursday..

I can do it, - but it is hard for me to justify your desire for such worldly things.
Take a little more time and see if you can come up with something that could be of benefit to all of mankind."
The biker was silent for a long time.
Finally, he composed himself, and said, "God, I wish that I, and all men, could understand women.
I want to know how they feel inside, - what they are thinking when they give you the silent treatment,- why they cry, - what they actually mean when they say nothing's wrong,- why they snap and complain when you try to help,- and how all men might be able to make women truly happy."
There was a long pause and then God replied: "You want two lanes on that bridge or four?"....
