groundwork

decided we hadn't done any for a while so did some; she was pretty good, considering we haven't done any for a while.

after a couple of aberrations i was able to keep her going for as long as I wanted. and i was able to move her back and forward. her ability to cross her hind legs was improved as well.

so that was good.

plan was to get done and make it to timpsons (they do watch straps etc) but i missed it; bought a really nice leather watch strap yesterday for £5 (handmade by the stallholder), the sort that keeps the back of the watch off your wrist, which is what i wanted as i'm allergic to the metal. got home, cut the straps off the watch - and found that the strap won't just thread through. so need a man who can get the strap holders off and back on again so i can put the watch on the strap.

riding tomorrow night.
