another busy day ....

the stable got sorted so that Molly can go in it!

it's pretty big even with the cupboards in - i have 5 rubber mats down, each 6'x 4', it's about 13' x 10' of space available for molly - and no room for the last mat with this arrangement, so it's propped behind the tall cupboard. the other advantage of this arrangement is that it blocks the draught from under the stable door when that end is open (fresh air is all very well, but the bed would have blown away!). it'll be very cosy in the winter though. and the entrance is still pretty wide even with that slight overhang...

She was of course a bit dubious at first, but realised her friend was still in the wall (the stable mirror) and i was there...shouted a bit when i went across the passage to the loo, but shut up when i spoke so she knew i was there....

The sorting took most of 3 hours, what with one thing and another. I've used 5 of my 6 rubber mats, the other is propped against the wall behind the tall cupboard then went home for lunch, and the plan was to go for a walk with partner & horse round the meadows - that was stymied by mega rain.....

so when that stopped i got molly in, introduced her to her stable, and did about 15 minutes in the round pen. she got her tea in the stable, at which point the rain was to be heard on the galvanised roof. don't think she's heard that noise before, but she'll settle ...then turned her back out again.

hopefully there's better weather tomorrow .... i put washing on the line this morning, and of course it's still there......

and of course it didnt' rain again so i went out and did some weeding, so here's some shots of how the garden's grown!

and finally a simba cute pose from 2 nights ago that i couldn't resist..
