a long day...

partner wanted to be up at 0530 to go into work early.

as it goes, i woke up before that and couldn't drop off again...

turns out it didn't do her a lot of good .. she set off very early (before 7!) but had to stop as her windscreen froze up and she couldn't see - even to get to the next layby! (her car heating is b***d as well and it's waiting to go in to be sorted under, hopefully, the warranty)

to cap her day, she had just got in the car to leave work tonight, when a colleague reversed into her.

she says no damage done

i got down to the stables with a view to doing something, but b the time i'd taken partner's call telling me of her dire day, i felt very very tired...

the agnus castus i'd ordered had arrived .. directions include, putting in a bucket with a 1/2 pint boiling water and leaving it for at least 1/2 hour to evaporate the alcohol it is suspended in off! doh. so molly didn't get that tonight, really couldn't be chewed to loiter about for 1/2 hour just for that.

i did get the kettle out of it's box and plugged it in .. but it seems the sockets have no power. they MAY run off the garage somewhere, will have to ask gaynor

but i got a lot of work done!

Oh well, one has to work! Hopefully you will sleep better after such a long day.

What's Agnus Castus?

If you wake up at 5:30, I think you deserve a nap somewhere in the day.

Yes, what's the Agnus Castus for Claire?

it's for hormones....

because molly shares with charlie, she flirts with him dreadfully when in season and he has been seen to mount her ...theidea is (from some EE people) she gets that (charlie could have it as well) and it calms them both down...

otherwise known as chasteberry or monks pepper.

can also be used by humans; my trimmer said she used it for years

Don't you just "love" days when one thing after another just doesn't work out? As long as you accomplished something worthwhile, it wasn't a total loss.
