i woke early (had set alarm for 7, but up at 6.15).
so by eight, Molly had been mucked out, bedded up, hayed, watered, AND walked out - we went over the motorway bridge (not empty, even at that time on a sunday!) and saw a a red squirrel just the other side of that bridge in the hedgerow. it sat and looked at us, and we stood and looked at it. Very impressed, I was. Don't know what Molly thought.
then home for my breakfast, put laundry out, sorted out some of the video from yesterday, went to tip, then to sainsbury's, back to yard, ate the sandwich i'd bought and did some in hand work in the school. I felt much more confident about that than I had prior to yesterday. skepped out, back home, cleaned the bathroom (faint...)
back to yard again about 5, mucked out, washed feet/legs, walked her out again! crikey! all done by 1830, and then i've come home and have made a pie and some flapjack (well, they're in the oven as we speak)
and spent too much on ebay - one new camera for under £50 (well, new to me, i'm sick of mine forever running out of charge on its AA batteries!) and 50 DVD-R discs on a spindle - much cheaper than PC world, even adding in the costs of cases - under £17 including postage.
and the new saddle might arrive tomorrow (posted saturday, apparently)
hope i get a job before i spend any more LOL

Naughty eBay Shopper!! I try not to look.
What a busy day! It wore me out just reading about it. How much work can one horse be? Well, you said it all.
We have gray squirrels here and black ones not too far away. I don't think I've seen any red ones. The gray ones in my backyard are so adorable when they play with and chase each other all over the place.
jean, reds are native to the UK, and over here greys are vermin, and these days being caught & shot - they arrived in the UK from north america, and have spread, and have spread a virus that they are immune to but that is terminal for reds. the north is one of the last bastions of the red squirrel, but i had no idea they were round here. They're a LOT smaller than the grey as well...
Oh ebay its heaven and hell all wrapped into one!
Ive been staying well clear lately its too tempting.
Your going to get your saddle before me not fair!
We have lots of red squirrels over this way Close House which is next to my old yard has a study/protection thing going on.Ive also seen a good few at the Derwent.
