Anyone know this book?

[poiuytrewq]

I had it in my basket at Waterstones last week and now can’t find or think of the name to purchase!
It’s written by a stable lass about her life in racing, anyone know it?

That’s the one! Thank you! I’ve just trawled through pages of Horse riding manuals and pony sticker books ?

You made it easy, when I started reading I thought this was going to be the only clue ?

Haha! I searched so many ideas, apart from Stable lass ?‍
Ive ordered that and the book about the 2 labs that became a big you tube thing over lock down!

Ooh will you report back on the lab book please? (If it’s the one I’m thinking of - the owner was a sports commentator and obviously not working in lockdown so did commentary on his 2 lovely dogs?)

The Stable Lass book is a good read .

I'd not heard about the two labs books, but I've found them now and have downloaded a free sample of each onto my Kindle, so thanks for that! The author is Andrew Cotter.

Yes that’s it! Will let you know. The clips I’ve seen are brilliant so ?

If you have not seen the antics of Andrew Cotter and Olive and Mabel on YouTube, do have a look. My favourite one is the Gym Membership clip.

Love it, it sounds like it should be a boring idea but he’s just nailed it.

I’ve just watched a few of them and they are brilliant ?

I love Andrew Cotter. I'm a big rugby fan so was familiar with him before Olive and Mabel but he's really nailed it with them.
I've read both books, the first is better than the second but they're both great.

My favourite Andrew Cotter story is when he was commentating on Italy v Wales and ate something dodgy at lunch a couple of hours before the game. He managed two minutes of commentary before he (literally) had to run to the toilet, leaving Jonathan Davies (former Wales rugby player, all alone on (inter)national, live TV. JD is an excellent analyst/summariser but no commentator. He's also renowned for mispronouncing players' names. He bluffed his way through the next ten minutes getting all the Italian players' names wrong. They had to steal the Welsh language commentator from S4C as the summariser there also did a bit of commentary so could manage and get a former player from the stands to do some of the summarising!

It's bad enough being ill in a public place without the whole of the UK's rugby viewing public knowing about it!

?‍ I’m not sure which I’ve bought! Will it matter or do they really need reading in order?
I can download the other onto my kindle

I'd read them in order if you can (Olive, Mabel and Me then Dog Days ) simply because the first introduces them all but has elements of a diary whereas the second is a diary (of 2020 / 2021) so there will be things in the first that feed into the second.

I’m not even sure which I ordered, I’ll check and find the other.

Olive, Mabel and Me is brilliant - I loved it so much and if I hadn't already added a second Labrador to my household just before getting the book for Christmas, I'd be out looking for one! It's a COVID book too, so will be one of those reminders in years to come. But he talks about both dogs and their adventures and how much of a part they play in his life and what they mean to him. He said somethings that rang true for me, as a dog lover and said other things that just affirmed that we're mad to have 2 Labs ? I haven't read Dog Days but I'd like to. That Stable Lass book looks too - might add that to my book list!
