So poor I can't even pay attention

Man pet is much happier although tired. We did have a nice time, just chatting and sharing a bottle of wine and a meal. We haven't been out for ages.

I've just signed up for a mystery shop tomorrow morning, that will be £10 eventually. Posted off an e*bay item and I'm trying to contact a coffee shop in the local garden centre as they are looking for lunchtime help, but the phone is continually engaged. If I can't get through I will pop in tomorrow on the way back from the mystery shop.

Still trying to sort out my computer virus problem. I've downloaded some new software which has been running for ages. I think I'm going to have to take a trip to the techie board. Lovely bunch over there, but sometimes difficult to understand

Hello dear!

Your virus problem sadly is still happening because your email keeps sending virus email to my email

The coffee shop sounds like a good idea, you will meet loads of people for networking.

lol sounds very exciting, i feel like i'm missing out. Perhaps next time my friend goes to her appointment down the job centre i might go with her just to people watch and see if there are any body guards down at ours lol!

And it didn't sound dirty to me....until you pointed out it could be Mrs B

So sorry! I don't know where the virus came from, it's driving me mad. I've just paid $40 for what is ranked the best and downloaded it. It's still running through my files. I'm dreading the visit to the techie board.

If it comes to it, I will delete my email account, not that I know how...

It is a very interesting place for people watching, you do require sunglasses and a large hat...I don't think you're likely to find any 'fit' bodyguards there, but let me know if I'm wrong!

Today has not been either productive or fun. On and off all day I've been trying to sort out this damn virus, I've run two different programs and they tell me it has gone, but that remains to be seen. It's been sending out spam emails from my hotmail account :mad::mad: I really hope I've deleted it or my friends and potential work contacts will be deleting me.

I got talked into going for a hack against my better judgement. I'm not keen on going out if the roads are wet, but this girl wanted to go out and the Captain is known for being brave. Well not today.

He was a bit uppity but I put that down to water running down the sides of the road and large puddles. Everyone knows that piranha and crocodiles lurk in puddles just waiting to pull an unsuspecting horse down into the depths to devour him.

We came off the road to go across to the woods when out of nowhere we were surrounded by deer. Not the ordinary kind, the kind that eat piebald horses :eek::eek: The Captain was terrified and took off in flat out gallop up the road heading for home :eek: The pony accompanying us following as fast as he could. I was trying to get him to stop, but he was having none of it. When eventually he started to listen to me he was doing a sideways prance up the road. Then a white van appeared driving very fast, he could see I was having problems but had no intention of slowing down. The Captain helpfully reversed across the road into the path of van meaning it had to stop. The driver then kept his hand on the horn blaring it loudly and continually. Very helpful when you've already got half a ton of frightened horse and a pony in tow. :mad:

Somehow, and I don't know how I got him back to trot while making soothing noises about what a brave chap he was and from there I got him home. I had to have a very strong cup of coffee, I'd got the shakes, he was not the only one that was scared! He's fine now and managed to eat all his tea and ask for me!

I know people have views about horses on the road, but if you see one cantering sideways and the rider pulling the horse round, it is obvious there is a problem and no amount of using your horn is going to improve the situation. Half a ton of horse hitting a vehicle is going to write itoff . The Captain has an excuse for not thinking things through, he's a horse, but the van driver...

I don't think the girl who was so keen on going out will be asking us out again!

Oh Piq,

That sounds a nightmare. What on earth was the Van Driver even thinking ? I really hope you are calmer now, msut have frightened the life out of you.

Take Care xx

Well dont on the debt, that's amazing!

I used to give my horse cod liver oil as he got older and stiffer, which really did help his joints.

That incident with the van sounds all too scary to contemplate........... I would have needed more than a coffee and the van driver would have needed hospital treatment if I got my hands on him. I am not a violent person but YKWIM......... hope you and Captain have got over the shakes now
