NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Rattler Pictures

Me, looking dirty but happy!
My ride buddy, Hamish:

And some mucky legs!

Yesterday we had an interesting day out to Dorchester to visit the Terracotta Warrior Museum. Somewhat smaller than we had anticipated it was nevertheless interesting although I left with more questions than answers. There was lots of information about the Emperor and how he united China but very little about how the warriors were found and the excavation process.

More importantly, though, today is GCSE results day and we are waiting (im)patiently for news of our eldest son's results. Fingers crossed.
Edit: The results are in - 5 A*, 5 A and 1 B. He is very pleased (as are Mum & Dad). :-)
