10 days off

is what molly will have had off by the time i can get back to some work with her.

yesterday i went to look at new cars - mine has 110,000 on the clock, so needs replacing. found one, 2 1/2 years old, only 17880 on the clock (done nothing) diesel so more economical. bank said yes, so i spent lunchtime sorting that out and knew i had to empty the car tonight, due to the lunge lesson tomorrow. plus, the man clearing our garden wnated the shed emptied, which is fair enough cos it's dead (the coal man backed into it more times than was good for it over many years...) so then that had to be done. didn't finished until it was getting dark.

so by the time i've had my lesson tomorrow it'll be too late then....

and we're out saturday, blair horse trials sunday, what can i say?

hope she remembers what she learnt...

Sometimes, time off is good for the brain. I've heard it said it takes a day or two for a lesson to settle into a horse's brain anyhow.

Congrats on the "new" car. Diesels are supposed to be far more economical. The only thing I've heard of is that they can be hard to start in cold weather. My diesel tractor has a heater in the ignition. Maybe the cars do too???

Heated ignition? Sounds like a heckuva good idea to me...
