Plantpot from 78rpm Record
This is a horrible thing to do.
Plantpot from 78rpm Record
Someone might have needed Island in the Sun by Harry Belafonte. But not this one as it had a crack. And they certainly wouldn’t want it now.
But they make good plant pots as they’ve even got a drainage hole.
If you want to make one, just heat them up in the oven and then give them a good bend.

This is the moment when he crossed the line. Richard is in the white t-shirt behind the guy in the blue shirt. Lester Piggott is on his left in the grey suit.

I hope that the public have been generous in their donations.

This time two legs failed.
Hayley Turner
It is great to see Hayley Turner back riding after the injuries she received on the gallops.
She is a seriously good jockey, who last year rode 100 winners in a year. This is something that few jockeys do in long careers and it is something no lady jockey has done.
But Hayley is also almost unique in that she is a top class athlete, who is a coeliac. I’m one too. We’re all proud of you Hayley!
Walking With Richard Dunwoody
I should say that at the moment, I’m to use a horse term, lame.
I trod on a razorshell on Holkham Beach and the doctor had to remove it. Because of the discomfort, I’ve been holding my lower leg muscles tight and now they’ve all seized up.
Yesterday, I contributed to Richard Dunwoody’s 1000 Mile Charity fund and felt that it would be a good idea to go and support him and perhaps walk a mile.
Richard Dunwoody on the Bury Road
As I suspected it would, my leg did seize up badly, but I did finish.
I asked Richard whether on not he would do this again. He said that it was very boring doing the same half mile of the Bury Road! At least he’s less than twenty four hours to go.
It was all rather poignant for me, in that my late wife used to swim and run every morning from the Bedford Lodge Hotel. If she had still been with us, she would have probably done two miles with Richard every morning.
I’ll be seeing Richard again, when he completes the walk by walking down the racecourse this afternoon.
There’s still time to contribute.
It Must Be Cold!
It must have been cold, as the cat has started to sit on the back of the AGA again.
Cat on the AGA
She is actually sitting on the hottest part, just behind the left hob, which you can on the left. I don’t like her to do this, as it means her fur gets in the fan and clogs it up.
