This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

Watty1

My Birthday. Mr Watty bought me a very nice pair of blingy earrings (the girl in the shop said I would love them) and another pair of earrings that he choose that he has decided I should return. Bless him. I so want to like them because he picked them out himself but they really are wayyy to big for me and he did say that when he saw them on.

Started day with riding lesson which got no further than tacking up and baby started to buck and kick out. A clear sign he is sore someone so came in and rang physio. Hope its nothing serious.

Now a couple of hours work before birthday lunch of goodies bought in London yesterday at Wholefoods. Smoked salmon, cod fishcakes, roasted rosemary potatos, grilled asparagus and sauted kale. All in lovely boxes just waiting to be served! Expensive but so much fun just to open the boxes and have a cold buffet ready to eat :T

Happy Birthday Watty, really hope the horses feel better with their various ailments soon!

Watty1

thanks for the birthday wishes. Have been busy and neglected diary.

Lots to report so lets start with a great highlight from the w/end. Sadly baby still waiting for physio so not being ridden. I had entered a fun competition with him on Sunday at the riding place where I started out when I started diary. Place has been lovely, really has helped build confidence and so friendly. I let them know baby and i wouldn't be going and was very sweetly offered one of theirs to do the show. As it would be my first time ever jumping a course I decided to give it a go. Had a great time :T. I won the dressage by riding two of their most charming horses and then did the clear round. I didn't actually get a clear on account of going wrong and doing an extra jump but I did it :T . Cant quite believe how far I've come!!


Money news...vets bill has arrived for FoggyFellPony. £666 and still no further knowing what was wrong but it does seem to be better so I've given him a hug and I'll pay the bill thankful he is well again.

:T:T:T Super star Watty!!! :j

Imagine how great it will be to get the baby better and have the super star duo back together for the next show!!

Did you get some nice rosettes to come home with? What a fabulous riding school you've found!

Watty1

Thanks Floppy. Riding school is fabulous. During the afternoon a number of charming little girls ranging from 6 to about 14 took me to meet the ponies they liked and chatted to me as an equal rather than someone old enough to be their granny.

I think I'm reliving my teenage years....its better this time around :j

Have lovely red rosette that clearly needs hanging somewhere! umm ...office? kitchen? or shall I be dreadfully adult and put up in feed room ....nah..that option immediately discounted ! In the house for sure!

Inspired by Habibiboo I've taken oil filled radiator to barn (used in office in depths of winter) 15/365 and put away a jigsaw that was *waiting to be done* and has been collecting dust since Christmas. It was just to difficult. Am keeping jigsaw as is a good one i just need time! 16/365. Thanks Habibiboo for the kick start to the declutter.

:j just opened post and cheque for shares sold has arrived. 5678.42 cheque. It made me very happy especially as I calculated that is 7.77% of the mortgage. Will pay into bank tomorrow as don't think I can get there before it closes today.

Edited: Was just so cheerful with cheque I went to the bank! Just need to wait till it clears now.
