I slipped a bit further ...

Of course it was equestrian again. Hiroshi Hoketsu, my friends. Japanese millionaire and pharmaceutical management guru. Rode in the 1964 Olympics, putting in a very creditable showjumping performance. Now, 44 years later, back in dressage. He's 67 years old.

His horse is lovely, but was spooked early on in the dressage test by a plane going over (one of the MAJOR downsides of the Hong Kong equestrian centre, along with those stupid big screens) and bolted out of an extended walk. Hiroshi collected his mount and finished his test beautifully, calming his nervous mare and completing with a passage that was textbook.

You can read about his history here. Apparently it is never too late ;-)

AS/S fest reveals are up, so I will be reposting my story shortly as soon as I finish beta-ing a very cool fest story from a bright new writer. Cup of tea and posting break = sorted.

Oh shush! I'm not logged into that email and will get to your question shortly. SO impatient! I'm going to pattern all your clothes so your breasts are uneven :-P

Yes I am impatient, and my friends think I am patient.

Oh you have no idea how lopsided my body really is, poor Ismay. Speaking of patterning, would it make your life easier if I was to dig up my patterns for my green frock and the german frock?

I have never thought you were patient ;-P

Yes, it would be lovely to have the old patterns. And make it easier to point your breasts in different directions :-P!

That's probably because you told me from the beginning that I will need to nag you ;-)
