Rain, Rain, Go Away

What sort of life is this.

To think I left sunny Sussex and a stately manor for this. Rain, mud, wind. I should have moved to Aberdeen - would have been cheaper and at least I know a few accomodating ladies in the area.

But it is what it is. I must say though I had a jolly good time on Monday night drinking with Tokai Trick and Mr Medici. Don't mind a sake, underrated drink that, but could have done without the karaoke!

Apparently Medici fancies himself a bit on the microphone and he insisted on belting out "Born in the USA" about 10 times until he got it tone perfect - after 25 sake's he sounded shocking but we all cheered politely and called him "The Boss". Got to get the boy gee-ed up for the weekend, Caulfield Cup and all that.

Tokai strangely enough fancies himself as a Madonna impersonator. Give me Bing Crosby anyday thank you very much.

Had a cast of thousands out there yesterday, the OTI crew came down to have a look at their boys. But do you think they would have popped over to my barn and said hello? No, not even so much as a casual wave, more interested in that little twerp Bauer - nothing against the old boy but really, have a look at him. Small, grey, a head on him like a half chewed prune, come on gentlemen! Old Blue is a perfect specimen, some acknowledgement please!

Had another visitor too yesterday, an old compatriot Shadow Cabinet came down from Cessnock to keep me company. He's been out here a few years now, used to be a lovely chap but he's turned, as they say, a bit "bogan".

As this is a PG rated blog I'll refrain from relaying exact quotes but let's just say that the Cabinet's language would made a Liverpuddlian wharfie blush. Too much time in Wyong I think, enough said.

Anyway chaps I best be off for a morning snort. I'm introducing Tokai and Medici to single malt scotch this afternoon. Those lovely fellows from Godolphin stopped at Duty Free on the way over and picked up some very cheap Glenfiddich so I've organised a little scotch appreciation class in the barn.

Cheerio
