RANDOM

I need to tell the story of today
it has been a perfectly random day today, in England there is something called Springwatch which is basically where the government puts video cameras all over the urban parks to watch the local wildlife, for example Foxes that live in hedges and badgers and owls etc. So James and i were watching last night and they have Springwatch nightshift which is basically all on night camera vision and so you watch these badgers eat worms and punch each other out of trees and all that and someone sits in a control booth and moves the cameras around to get the best shot....and then a scrolling bar goes across the bottom with useful tid bits about Badgers...for example did you know that a group of badgers is called a cete??? Anyway you can also text a message and they post it on the telly...for example two people wrote BADGERS YAYAYAYAY and so who ever types up the text put their texts up and then wrote that the two texters should get together for texting the same thign....really random so James and i decided to text the station. But we got ours in too late and the badgers had gone to bed soooo we're going to try again tonight.

So then i got up this morning and we bumed around im almost finished my book and we were trying to figure out what to do when Judy said that our cousins(who i have never met before) were here to put a horse in race, so James and I shoudl go.....i said woot lets do it...little did i know it meant dressing up and pretending to be the horses owner....
So basically what happend was my two cousins James M and his sister Jo were down in place of their dad who has horses which they race with these different jockies and he was on vacation so sent his kids down to run the show, which they were nervous about it being their first time on their own and all. So Judy dressed me up all nice and English country style it was incredible i looked very very conservative and not like i had been at camp....James even got dressed up and off we went....it was the most posh thing ive ever been to, and we got owners passes which got us access to everything which is amazing. So we met up with James and Jo....James was in a full out suit and so we watched a few races had a Pimms had some beer...and then i placed a bet....Both James and i bet on different horses my horse was slated as being a good bet....it was names Miss Gibraltor...haha for all you HI 232/233 vets.....sadly James won 15 pounds and my horse of course trotted to a poor last place
Then the horse that they were racing was up...they trot them around to show them off for people to get their form to place bets and Jo did that and ended up winning best turned out = 50 pounds....then we got to go into the ringy thing and meet the jockey as the owners lol it was hysterical i had my ugly pool flip flops on...and then we went to see the race...and the poor horse lost....bad.....it was not great but it was so cool, then i placed one last bet on the James' plead to make me win something and of course iiiii lsot again the stupid horse came in second last....adn with that we left and went home...where Judy and James concocted a birds nest to save the baby swallow that had fallen out of its nest in the barn....
