  • I don't want to look outside at the weather here, it was pouring down at 1am when I got in from the work Xmas do. Need to get up and head to work, don't think it's going to be pretty.

    Raining here too :( I'd like to clear the last of the leaves, but it's not going to happen today.

    What is going to happen is an admin day...:(:( There is so much I've put off because I don't like it! To support the admin I will have the heating on. Lunch is already prepared, leftovers from last night's cheese and broccoli pasta bake, so no loitering in the kitchen :D

    I free schooled the Captain yesterday, the path to the indoor school wasn't too bad. Glad I decided not to ride him as he had decided that yesterday was the day when he was going to fulfill his ambition to be a rodeo horse :eek: He was charging round the arena flat out bucking, snorting and farting at an alarming rate with me standing in the middle pretending I was in control! When he finally finished there was steam coming off him, he looked like he'd been microwaved. Then, of course, I had to get him dry as I can't put him in his stable for the night wet with sweat. The joy of having a horse in winter....

    Good luck with the admin stuff, I always think that once you've done it, you feel so much better! :D Pop some music on and do it in short bursts, you'll be done in no time!

  • Clean skies here, crazy after last nights rain. No heating on in our offices so I've still got my coat on and I can sit and knit because there's only a few people in.

    Not sure about the no time bit, as always I've put it off for a while :(:o music's a good idea though and you're right about feeling better once it's done. It's surprising how heavy something undone feels.

    Can I come and work with you? I can knit! Actually, I assume I can still knit as I haven't picked up knitting needles for years!

    I cant knit, but it sounds like Fallen is a bit of a demon knitter, perhaps she should make us all scarfs for us to wear while we shiver in our chilly houses !! :D

    My Mam taught me when I was little. Picked up a pair of needles a few weeks ago again :) Making my Mam a scarf for Christmas.
