I am worried about your goatless state.

Why?

Oh and by the way, I am not a "kid". Further, if and when I wish to rock I am most certainly capable of doing so on my own, thank you very much

No you see that is a play on the goat theme - wild goats generally living on rocky mountainsides........ ok it is not the strongest joke in the world but how else do you explain popping over to say hello. I mean you cannot just say "hello, can I borrow a cup of virtual sugar?" now can you!

Filly, you can pop over and borrow anything you like.

ooooh excellent - I am on my way!

Anyway what's wrong with not having a goat?

nothing - but having a goat is preferable. In my own humble and for what it is worth opinion,

Well neighbour, this is getting us nowhere. Tell me more about yourself.

errrm well what do you want to know.... I am a chestnut filly, trained by Ian Balding and half sister to the great Lochsong, trailed in 7th at Newbury on Sunday which was a bit disappointing...

Sugar lump?

oooh I thought you never ask! * takes it very gently and crunches it noisily*. And you good self?

I'. afraid I don't have a sweet tooth, I prefer savory. (How do you spell savoury, savery, slavery,..., whatever.)

But you have to tell me what you are offering

Toast and marmite - a great favourite among thoroughbreds though we aren't mean to have it when we are in training. Its all high performance feeds these days *swishes tail angrily*

Toask OK, Marmite, not so sure.

What are you doing at the moment, and don't say talking to me, I presume you are having a bored moment at work, as I am. (at home, at work)

oh I am bored and depressed at work *twitches ears back and forth and then blows through her nose*. It is my last week here and I have no motivation.

Doing what?

grants administration

No, Not the most interesting way to spend your day.

I would really love to cary this on, but I have to go out. I don't suppose you could mail me a picture, or perhaps a loch of hair etc.

I will try.
