COMPLETELY WHITE THIS MORNING WHEN I LOOKED OUT TODAY SO ANY IDEAS OF GOING SHOPPING, RACING OR FOOTBALL WENT ASTRAY.
BY THIS AFTERNOON A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TO BUILD AN IGLOO
[PICS TO FOLLOW]
I RECKON IF THEY WORK IT RIGHT THEY CAN RENT IT OUT TO A FAMILY OF IMMIGRANTS BY MONDAY MORNING.

FRIDAY AND ASCOT GETS CALLED OFF 10 MINS AFTER I ARRIVE.
GREAT, NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR I HAVE A DAY OFF COMPLETELY RUINED BY THE WEATHER. LOOKED OK THIS MORNING AND HEADED OUT FOR AN EARLY START, ARRIVING AT ASCOT FOR 11AM THE FIRST RACE KICKING OFF AT 11.50.
WITHIN A SHORT WHILE I AM HEARING THAT THEY HAD ONLY JUST BEEN INSPECTING THE COURSE AND IT WAS OFF. PROMPTING AN EARLY CLOSURE OF THE BARS SO I COULDN'T EVEN GET A DRINK IN BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE STATION.
APPRECIATE IT WASN'T WARM BUT FANCY LEAVING IT SO LATE, IF YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO RACE CALL IT OFF BY 9AM AND HAVE DONE WITH IT, AT LEAST WE WILL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH OUR DAY.
HEADED HOME BY MIDDAY ONLY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN A MINI BLIZZARD SO REST OF THE DAY CHILLED OUT LITERALLY AT HOME.
CANNOT SEE ASCOT GOING AHEAD TOMORROW WITH THE TEMPS NOT GETTING ABOVE FREEZING FOR A WHILE. [INDEED AS I WRITE THIS IT HAS BEEN CALLED OFF]
HOPE YOU ALL KEEP WARM AND FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR FINAL WEEK BEFORE XMAS. DAISY

ABSENCE
BEEN A BIT BUSY ELSEWHERE THIS PAST MONTH, THE NEW JOB GOING WELL AND INCLUDES SOME TRIPS TO DUBLIN SO MORE ON THEM LATER WHEN I MAKE ANOTHER VISIT IN JAN.
LEADING UP TO XMAS THE RACING HAS HAD TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK SEAT TOO WITH THE WEATHER PLAYING IT'S PART. AM OFF OVER XMAS/NEW YEAR SO MIGHT SEE IF I CAN MAKE A TRIP TO KEMPTON PARK AS IT'S STILL THE LOCAL TRACK.
MAKING SOME NEW PLANS FOR 2011, WITH THE INTENTION OF GETTING AWAY SOMEWHERE FOR A BREAK JUST AFTER EASTER. NOT HAD A PROPER HOLIDAY FOR A GOOD FEW YEARS, ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE TO GO? WELL YORK IS HIGH ON THE LIST OR MIGHT GO BACK TO NEWCASTLE MAYBE CATCH SOME RACING UP NORTH WHILE I AM THERE.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL
GET ALL YOU NEED IN FOR XMAS AND ENJOY.
