no longer

tried the stirrups a hole longer again, but that didn't work at all.... just a bit too long. but it feels a bit short otherwise. will have to fiddle with it.

and didn't do quite as well as yesterday - apart from anything else, took 15 minutes to get on and then had to get jimmy to hold her.... duh.

there are no domestic flights to/from heathrow. mother was booked to fly to heathrow from newcastle .... she can still do her international flight from heathrow, but guess what i'm doing? 300 mile drive to heathrow and back.... horrid. happily, we have friends in perivale, so if i really am not fit to drive home, i should be able to stay there (if they're in...)

i am not looking forward to that at all ....

Too long stirrups can be as bad as too short ones. You'll find the right length eventually, but don't force yourself to "reach" for them.

I hate long drives. If you have a tape player you could put in one of the books on tape to keep you busy when you are alone in the car. Either way, drive safely.

Uh oh. I just checked the news. Isn't Heathrow all fogged and iced in? What a mess. People are trying to get places for the holidays and the weather is just being totally frustrating.

Good luck.
