And They're Off!

It's the Grand National Today, so we had our usual bet on the horses. We chose about five each, and mine were Comply or Die (First)
Snowy Morning(Third)
Slim Pickings (Fourth)
And two others...McKelvey, which unfortunately fell at one of the fences and had to be put down, and one other which is still running I think. VT had two finishers, Hedgehunter which was strongly fancied but came in 13th, and another which came in 6th. So we duidn't do too badly between us. We enjoyed watching the race anyway. It absolutely piddled down with rain during the previous race and everyone was getting drowned but the race itself was quite sunny but extremely cold. Some of the women in their dresses must have been frozen.
VT has just crept past me to do the bedding..he takes great pride in getting past me to do that, normally I catch him, but this time I didn't, so I go into the bedroom and the bed is done..
It has actually gone quite dark and cold looking now, although it was really sunny a bit ago. The weather people are forecasting a cold snap, with snow would you believe..we wshall see.
Tonight we are having:
Spring Rolls,
Stir fried vegetables,
4oz egg fried rice with spring onions and peas.
Sauce of some sort.
