Horsing Around

This is the view from the top of a horse.

I went horse trekking in the weekend. Great fun. And that's Kate I'm sitting on (she was obviously just borrowing Jack's head strap thingee).

The ride seemed to get smoother the faster the horse was going - trotting feels like dozens of judder bars! whereas a canter is so smooth! Unless you fall off, as one of our group can attest - although she did hit a tree prior to the ground.

Fortunately, I had no unplanned dismounts.

And here is me with Kate, my trusty mount:

And speaking of horses, I saw two Japanese horses won the Melbourne Cup - Go Asia!!!

Work has been getting busy, which is a nice change. But I can't tell you what I'm working on.

Touch this week was better - we drew, 3 all. I likened it to a classic sports movie. The underdogs have staged a spirited comeback and with seconds to go, one point is needed to level the scores. With the last play of the game, the defence is broken and... they score. Only problem is, it wasn't us who scored the final point :(

Next week we are playing probably the best team in the league so will be aiming to keep the score respectable...
