and the scorching sun and the boiling wind…
Saturday was a killer… i was so hot (and tired – thanks TJ! ) that i felt quite sick and had to hide in the shade of Anthea’s tent (thanks so much to Anthea’s mum, who kept me enthralled with delightful stories and anecdotes about the horsey world) for most of the day – i just couldn’t bare to stand out in that sun and the hot wind… it was awful.. a waste of a day really… i started out ok, but lost focus very quickly as the temperature soared.

I actually don’t like big shows like AGRI… too much happening at once, i feel so bad about the people i miss, who happen to be in other arenas or at other times – or on the days i missed (due to not having a car, or whatever)

Sunday was much better – it started so nicely (thanks TJ!) and ended even better (wow!) – and i was focused and smiling, despite the heat (at least there was a little breeze that blew up every now and then to cool people down momentarily) and i got some good shots. The sun moved SO quickly though, and it was difficult to find good spots… i’m going through the shots now and I hope i don’t have to delete as many as i think i’m going to have to…

My apologies to everyone though – i did my best on Sunday to get different things and different arenas – there were a few classes i COULD NOT miss (Cath’s first open grade course for one thing!!) and the championship classes i was expected to be at

I think i was also a little … frustrated… because my new camera is on the way and every shot i took with my (albeit AWESOME) little D50 was kind of a let down, because i know what’s coming… and how much better it’s going to be!

Thanks for the little chat, Kevin, lifted me a bit Small world indeed, eh?

So i’m busy sorting photos and I’ll get them up as fast as i can – even with daily … distractions (As nice as they are)
