Suzy & Mickey’s Blog – September 2025
Suzy (whispering): There is a new horse down my end of the yard.
Mickey (whispering): Why are we whispering?
S: Because I don’t trust him.
M: Why don’t you trust him?
S: Dunno. Just a hunch.
M: He has a hunch?
S: No, I have a hunch that he is up to no good.
M: Guess what!
S: What?
M: There is a new one at my end of the yard too.
S: What on earth is going on? What does yours look like?
M: Chesnut, with a white face.
S: Holy mackerel. Mine is chesnut with a white face.
M: THIS is why we are whispering. Something is up.
S: Is Andy going to make us be white-faced chesnuts?
M: I doubt it. But then again I predicted that Peter Mandelson would not get sacked as ambassador to the US, so don’t take my expectations as gospel.
S: Not terribly relevant to this. But some sort of plot must be going on. Seen Clondaw Robin lately?
M: Well, I heard he is down in the field still, but I have not actually seen him.
S: So who do you imagine is pulling the strings on all of this?
M: I thought it might be me, but I don’t remember doing it…
S: No, you buffoon, it’s Robin. He is planning to take over the yard with clones of himself. Stitch was down there with him at the weekend and said that Robin is looking very pleased with himself.
M: I think that is the plot of the film “Starman.” Never realised it was a documentary.
S: It has to be said, if someone told me a supervillain was hiding in the yard, I would have predicted that it was Backinforglory. What we will do is set up a WhatsApp group just for the bay horses, but let’s leave her out of it, she cannot be trusted not to double cross us.
M: Now we are in “A Fistful Of Dollars” territory.
S: I got the helper monkey to take some pictures. I mean, they just look evil, don’t they?
M: Let’s keep this hushed up until we know more. Or at least drift into the plot of a different classic film.
S: Then it must be time for this month’s question. It comes from a Mr C. Eastwood, of Carmel, California. He says “I think you are mistaken, there are plenty of differences between your circumstance and A Fistful Of Dollars.”
M: Well, I did not say they were the same, I merely noted that it could go that way. And, secondly, the fact that he heard about it so quickly just shows we are not being paranoid here. I am going to email the Illuminati, to see what they would do.
The Illuminati: “Sorry, we are out of the office on business at present, and will attend to your question at our earliest convenience.”
M: Do you think it’s odd that the Illuminati have the same email address as Monty’s Award?
