Oswestry Riding Club (ORC) organised the fun day.

Ellie's first event with ORC, got there early appeared to be some confusion about start times.

Events went well, jack was well behaved and shakey did most things although as jack noted "He always comes third" (In the heats).

Again shakey has taken it upon himself to not want to get back in the trailer, after about 20 minutes of pulling, pushing and polo's he eventually got in. Only for us to discover that the battery had been run down by the stereo and cool box plugged in the back!

Help was at hand with jump leads but all to no avail, something else must be wrong... time for the AA, not being members this cost big!

Everyone left, and some of the members kindly offered to tow shakey home (for which we are truly grateful). Whist waiting on my own for the AA it came to me that I had forgotten to deactivate the immobiliser on the car prior to trying it off of the jump leads! Plonker.

AA man arrives (about 45 minutes after call out, not bad), hook it up wait a few minutes, PRESS THE IMMOBILISER, and start's first time. Important and costly lesson learnt that day.

To top it all off got home hoping for a nice cup of tea and to watch the French GP only to have Sky+ tell me that an unknown error had prevented it recording.

All in all not the most enjoyable Sunday I have had.
