end of play family selection day 1. 4 urtuus and a start camp. Not bad. Holed up at zanabazar's birthplace and a grand temple in his honour. I have prayed, a lot, for a safe and silly Derby. You're welcome. Katy #md13

I talk like Marlene Dietrich,
And I dance like Zizi Jeanmaire.
My clothes are all made by Balmain,
And there's diamonds and pearls in my hair (yes there are)
