Well - actually not a lot of jumping this afternoon  but the dressage. Edward Gal won easily. His horse Totilas is absolutely an other class all together. I had an excellent front row seat and could almost "feel" the horses :-)

After Gilbert Gascard yet an other creator of a cartoon hero is dead: Jacques Martin father of Alix and LeFranc among others. Especially Alix is interesting: always wearing a bare minimum of clothes and always with his (very close) buddy Enak - he was a sort of gay superhero of cartoons...

Stephen won two awards at the National Television Awards show this evening. One lifetime achievement and one for his travel series: Fry in America. Well done! He even came out of his self imposed communication ban and was back on twitter (for a couple of minutes). Now he is back writing the second part of his bibliography - which sould be ready in April. If you haven't done so - read the first part Moab is my Washpot or watch the DVD of Fry in America while waiting for him to return.
