Searching for bargains
We bought the blue folding steps for £5
I was watching the race with Guy and Fiona Churton having called in to borrow a two seater sofa for Skye's new cottage.
How wrong can one be as with Workforce failing to settle it appeared that his pacemaker Confront was not going fast enough! In fact the race was run in a record time for the new course and the winning margin a record distance! In the end the only horse Workforce (English Derby Winner) did beat was Confront and the runaway winner was his less fancied stable companion Harbinger.
Harbinger made the other runners look as though they were galloping on the spot as he surged to the front with a quarter of a mile to go. This progressive four year old is now being talked about as the most impressive winner of this race that there has ever been and even being compared to the mighty Ribot! And let us remember that I thought that the race looked slow - and yet the camera never lies!
The German Grand Prix was farcical and it was pleasing that the rule to stop race fixing was used and Ferrari were fined! Felipe Massa was the best driver on the day and would have been a deserved winner. Where is justice when this poor bloke was nearly killed a year to the day in this same race when a stray spring fractured his skull?
Why cannot motor racing be like horse racing and reverse the first wo placings for (outside) interference? A fine and a ticking off means nothing in this sport - surely actions would speak louder than words?
Chirk Car Boot Sale saw Nick, Cinny, Sara and I out looking for bargains at 8.30 a.m. on a Sunday morning! With over 1000 cars already there many had the same idea. A kitchen table and 6 chairs for £10, a bedside table for £2 and a hall mirror for £1 were our best bargains! Most are destined for the cottage Skye has rented from Elaine Quinn at Threapwood and with these new additions it is taking shape!
