I have no idea what the weather is doing at the moment, it has been a gorgeous day here in the midlands today.  Yesterday it absolutely chucked itself down all day!  I managed to get a ride in this morning when the fog had finally dispersed a bit.  We went out with our Hi-viz on, Basil wore his leg boots and i had my usual luminous hat and tabard.  I do think it makes us much easier to see and gives drivers a bit longer to slow down. 
Basil was absolutely plastered in mud after the weather yesterday and it took ages to get it all off.  He looked a bit like a hippo, i don't know how he manages to get it all up inside his rug!  He loves wallowing in it and really getting it ingrained in his mane and tail. 
I found out this morning that the WEG highlights were on this afternoon, luckily i managed to Sky+ it and am just sitting down watching it.  The German team had a disastrous cross country day but the GB were in Gold medal postion after... we had some great rounds and William Fox-Pitt especially is in Silver position individually.  OK didn't realise they were squishing 3 days into 2 hours.... i think they could give equestrian events more TV time in the UK.  The poor US team have just had a really bad show-jumping day.  So GB have won team Gold and William got individual Silver .... can't be bad!!!!
