it blew, and it rained, and it blew

and the horses wanted to be out again so badly that charlie trashed stuff in his box, that normally he never touches (including a brand new bottle of fly repellent so there'll be no flies in his stable for a bit)

we rather concluded we needn't have bothered getting them in last night, and turn them out again.

partner and I then went on a lengthy (and successful!) sofa hunt (we haven't had one for years..) and by the time we'd finished the rain had desisted, it was a lot warmer, but still blowing hard....and too late in the day even if gaynor were able to come out & ride, which she wasn't by that time ....and anyway, i do HATE a gale...

edited to add link to sofa - we're getting it in brown, manual recliner, and a chair ditto (given that we CAN have a recliner)....

What happened to my dry weather wish for you??? Sorry about that.

So, tell us about the sofa. Glad at least that was a successful trip.

Ooooh, that's luscious!! And yes, get a recliner, they are wonderful. It will help your back and get your feet elevated...heaven in a chair.

Yes, miserable weather. Where is summer? That's two days in a row I haven't been up to see Tetley.
