back to it

the weather having improved!

20 minutes in the arena; by the end she was really losing it (well, starting to) and didn't want to go any direction i wanted her to; but one of the others was going out on a hack so i went out with her as far as the ford, then turned round. Possibly shoul dhave gone on, but she'll have wanted a canter up holme hill and i don't like holding people back! and that was the good bit, and we got some nice trot steps coming back. and she went back to the arena without arguing, so that was good.

rest of the day - expensive! partners birthday present. went to camera shop to decide on camera, happily partner content with camera i wanted to buy her. wanted to use my credit card, which i can only use online as i have never known the pin number. got home. ordered it ... website in fact didn't let you buy on line and pick up in store, only order online and buy for it in store. so i had to go back to store (22 mile round trip, dammit) that i knew had it in and get it on my debit card. ah well. and had to fill up with petrol (gas, jean ...LOL) and the price of that has rocketed as well.

my friend in yorkshire texted me .. her horse won a dressage test last night with 78% WOW is all i can say.

an away day tomorrow for partner's birthday, york, usually good value for money for a day out. so molly gets another day off, but we have light nights from tomorrow night on....

Petrol! I know that one! Costs are going up here too. Double the price to fill my tank.

The camera buying surely sounds confusing. What kind did you finally get?

Glad to hear the weather is improving. We are having rain now, but at least it's fairly warm.
