Yes justin, as much as I can.

Dear diary. 11/2/10 Learned Lady some box manners this morning chasing bulls in the ring.
Lady needs to hang on to the bull a lot longer.
Lady needs to learn not to sit down in the boxes.
Will learn Lady again a lot more other times.

Dear diary. still the same day.
Very sad today as we had to bury Beryl the pig. Full ceromony performed as usual to all our departed animal friends.
Dear diary. must move Lady to another location on the property tomorrow.

Coops I have been away and about to go away again but I have certainly been wondering what has been progressing with the 2 bitches, not too much it seems but it can be a slow process. With regard to the rodent matter, I completely deny any involvement in illegal activity although I did sneak (yes that means steal) one apricot from the West Como fruit shop in about 1959. Hopefully, the relevant statutory period has elapsed, leaving me in the clear in terms of punishment. I still feel ashamed because Mr Lummis, the owner of the fruit shop, was in later years generous in allowing me to weigh my fawn Greenane Toast bitch on his fruit shop scales. Her racing weight varied between "half a bag of spuds plus two oranges" and "half a bag of spuds, 2 x oranges and a whole cabbage".

Dear Diary 18/2/10. Lady has finished her re education and will be trialling at Dapto in the morning. Hopefully she will do better than last trial of 17.60.
Bess will also be trialling for the first time since 19th December 09 after she broke her fibular.

Coops, thanks for that advice, I am looking forward to learning she has found 10 lengths improvement with a 16.99 (BOD). Any chance of posting the report tomorrow as I am away for 2 1/2 weeks as from tomorrow night.

Dear diary. Trialled lady and Bess at Dapto this morning over the shorts.
Lady's test day after her re education for three weeks ran very well indeed.
Bess's second run for 2 months ran what I expected. Fair.

Was the clock working mate?

Oh sorry mate. 17.35 for lady and 17.80 for Bess.

Good on you Lady, a bit to go yet but there is hope. Bess, 17.80, as Nick sometimes says, "hmmmmmmmmmm".
