now if I charge, will she run away ?

I saw this lovely horse on my way home at lunchtime.

I had spent the morning watching the on-line virtual queue of the Box Office Waiting Room for Covent Garden count down from place number 1996 to number 1 and then crash. Luckily when I refreshed the page it gave me another chance and I managed to get an overpriced, aerial view ticket for "Manon" with Anna Netrebko (who will almost certainly cry off knowing my luck) and young Vittorio Grigolo.

I got quite behind with things today, but all was not (eventually) lost......
