    Mrs P I hope you managed to get through your To DO List YEsterday, although it looked a bid too busy for my liking for a Sunday !

    You have reminded me though of a huge bag of bulbs sitting on the patio which I have yet to plant . I really must get my act together ! :o

    Have a good week, hope its not too crazy at work x

    I did everything on the list except dig up the plant, I ran out of time and daylight!

    You ought to plant up those bulbs soon perhaps the DDs will do it for cake, thus saving your back. A lot of my bulbs are already poking up through the soil. Unfortunately, they're under a huge carpet of fallen leaves that need clearing...

    Hi Piq

    Hope the weather was sunny for the hack with the Captain!

    Have a good week and hope its bearably busy rather than just plain horrid

    Brizzle

    The weather was great, just right for a hack. He was a whatnot! Nearly had me off with an emergency stop :eek: Someone had put a new container in a field and he had to stop to have a look, mid canter :eek: I was round his neck, hanging on to his mane:rotfl:Once he had thrown me back in the saddle with his head and snorted at the container to let it know he knew how to deal with containers we continued on our way without incident...

    Oh bless you, I shouldn't laugh but I couldn't help it. I hope you're ok. I'm tempted to venture out into the world and do and outside run. I have a nice flashing armband too to be safe and all my running gear is reflective (yes I am paranoid of not being seen and it gets very dark round here) perhaps I'll do it for Wednesday's run.

    I hope the cafe isn't too bad, my very first job was in one and it got so busy it was awful.

    I'm okay, no need to worry. He pushes you back in the saddle if he can, believe it or not, he does look after me [once he's sorted out rogue containers, that is...]

    I always wear reflective/lumi gear when riding. If drivers can't see a large horse, what hope do they have of seeing a tiny runner?

    I'm working shortly, I'm fairly sure it will be horrible, but it is some money and the time will go quickly.

    That's a very long day, not good for you at all. How's the search for alternative employment going?
