the end, probably - Lincoln Grooming Blocks are really good for getting scabs off. I think I knew that, really, but happily reminded myself today. so from here on, the plan is grooming block THEN antiseptic wash.
the start - 0630 this morning. had to be in Yorkshire (Brompton on Swale, near Catterick) for 9 .... Becky HOlden clinic - so did molly in jig time, turned her out in the arena for her exercise whilst i mucked out etc (that'll save me at least 1 walk out in hand, as she was moving round instead of standing at the gate wanting to be back in). then back home for a quick breakfast and got there just on 9.
had taken camcorder and digital camera. onto second tape on camcorder, needed another battery "knew" i had another one charged - well, i was wrong. and then, to cap that, found I'd left the XD card for the camera in the D***** computer... duh. so only 3 people got videoed. and I would have needed more tapes than i'd taken ...
decided to come home at 1, the lunch break, as of course I still had molly's legs to wash and to walk out etc ....
did the leg washing, was about to walk out, when my tummy decided to tell me it was empty big time ... fair enough. so molly in round pen whilst i went home to chuck food down my neck.
then we walked out - this time i took her a different route, up to the bridge over the motorway. she was a bit unsure, and it was far enough, so we went back, but will try it again at a quieter time (maybe, early one sunday morning?)
eventually got home at 5.30
but what a gorgeous day. sunshine and heat. of course, none of us were dressed for it!

Wonderful summer's day here too!

Nice time for summer to arrive....months late. *sigh* So happy you are having nice weather for a change. Beautiful here too.
You'll laugh when you see my camerwork..and I had a fully charged battery. Always better to watch the rides live, anyhow. As long as you had a nice day, forget the photos/videos.
