Waiting on Weather

Out around the coastal circuit early today to avoid named Gale ‘Farquhar’.   Now hunkered down out of the 40 mph horizontal precipitation.  Creel HQ’s transmitter glowed for a while during a live update from an Edinburgh cyclist.  At one time it seemed to be at the moment, as Robert Millar put it, ‘…when man and machine become as one’.  You could have heard a pin drop in the peloton.

I am about to retire to the shack with some bottles and wallow amongst the vinyl.  Invited to the party are Brian Auger, Ben Sidran, Trilok Gurtu, Can. The Necks, Terry Allen, Savourna Stevenson, Dave Brubeck, Beth Ditto and Erik Truffaz.  Security have been instructed not to admit: to anything, Richard Stilgoe and Des Lynam. 

A late result from yesterday’s 4.30 at Wetherby, run behind closed stable doors:

1 Lactating Underpants 10/1

2 Waddling Blanket Evens

3 Catherine’s Sister 5/4 fav

Manx cat tailed off and Hors d’oeuvre failed to come under starters orders.

 

Abnormal service will resume as soon as possible.

As a late update the Current Mrs Creel indicates she is about to start reading Dodo McFarlane’s ‘Chocolate for Breakfast’.
