A selfish day.<\/p>\n
I spent the morning at the yard.<\/p>\n
This may have involved spending time drinking hot chocolate and gossiping with Sue, Trish, Caroline, Karen, Cheryl, Laura and Christine.<\/p>\n
Then I started the lorry. Except I didn’t. It didn’t want to know, so I attached the booster power pack and it changed its mind and roared in to life. Hmm… I’m going to have to keep an eye on that.<\/p>\n
Then I schooled Vin who, all things considered, settled down after 20 minutes and started producing some nice work.<\/p>\n
I say – all things considered – because there was:<\/p>\n
So all things considered, that Vinnie chose to give me his attention and concentration was pretty damn good really.<\/p>\n
Then I nipped in to Worcester to do a little Christmas shopping. Except it was horrid. I left.<\/p>\n
I felt in need of a morale-boosting treat so I stopped at a roadside cafe for a mug of tea and two double fried egg sandwiches.<\/p>\n
Then I found my way to a really obscure tack shop where I looked for and bought the only thing I need for my equestrian\/equine wardrobe – a tail guard. Except…<\/p>\n
While I was there I found a brilliant brilliant pair of Caldene jodhpurs on special. I don’t need to ask if my bum looks big in them. It doesn’t. But something else does.<\/p>\n
Then back to the yard where I drank more hot chocolate and cleaned tack. I’ve got lots more tack to clean. I also have to clean Beech’s saddle and bridle and break them down for storage. Just need a little time.<\/p>\n
Went home and internetted. And chilled.<\/p>\n
This evening I’ve prepared Quorn spag bol then cooked, eaten, washed up, watched X-Factor and Have I Got a Bit More News For You.<\/p>\n
I feel as though I’ve been entirely selfish today.<\/p>\n
