Magnus 2nd August

It's Common Riding in Lauder this week.  Today is the famous Lauder fancy dress.  I have won it in the past, dressed as the Irish Guards' mascot.  Not going in this year, although it has been mentioned.  Pam says she has too much to carry!  She wouldn't be carrying me, of course, but her hands all seem to be occupied!

Mirren 2nd August

We'll never hear the end of that.  Actually, Pam and the group she's in have won often.  So there.  She's  going in again this year.  I am sure they will be spectacular as usual.  I would join her but the crowds get to me.  She said I would be perfect as her battle dog.  Magnus would too because he looks more the part, but I don't think I could be bothered standing around in a crowd for a couple of hours.  Comfort and warmth are more my thing.  I think I'd rather stay in bed.  Magnus is the attention seeker even though he plays the "Big, shy boy".  He can do it if he wants!!!!
