Weekend off ? Surely not ?

Yes it's true. The last time I had more than 1 day off was Xmas & since the sales
it's been a superhuman effort to haul my a**** out of bed every day so I am
thrilled to report that I get twooo whole days to myself.

Let joy be unconfined.

I am going to start packing, preparatory to my move to the Stud, but at a very
leisurely rate.

And I am going to have not 1, but 2 lie-ins :)

Let's all work with neddies !

Hadleigh (the white guy, with rhythym, you may remember ?) tells me he
spent a day at Imber Court recently, with a view to joining the Mounted Police.
He has also had his first riding lesson, in fact probably 2 by now, as he was due to
have one Wednesday, which he enjoyed hugely.

I am torn between feeling very happy for him & being green with envy.

The last Christmas I was at home, I saw a display given by the Mounted Police
at Olympia. Their performance was nothing short of brilliant & I had a huge lump in
my throat as I watched the neddies jump through flaming hoops.
The crowd gave them a standing ovation at the end of their act & I felt
proud to work for the Police in a way I haven't felt for a long time.

I wish you the very best of luck with your application Hadders. Let me
know if there is anything I can do to help.

I am sure Cocky will assist you with any equine queries you may have.



Neddies in the mist. Like 'Gorillas in the mist'. Only, not.


Today was the final day for one mob of babies to be in & the first day for
the next mob (fillies this time) to come in.

The 1st 6 were led out to a paddock in 2 groups of 3, & very smart ickle
walkers they were too. It was lovely to see their joyous reaction to having
grass under their hooves again & they chose a gorgeous sunny
day to be liberated. All 5 cavorted around the paddock, whilst the 6th
one stood in the shade under a tree, watching his mates.

His name ?

'Energy efficient'.

The Tanners have gone to the fair this evening, with a request for candyfloss
for the lodger. I am using the time to Blog, e-mail & listen to a snippet of Radio 4
on-line.



'More horsey photos ?' asks Michelle.


Eric, whose exams are on Monday & Tuesday, asked Michelle if his attendance at
the fair was required.

'Not at all' she replied 'You can stay here & study if you like...'

'Ok' he said, doing that man thing of not realising there was more to come

'If you'd rather not spend time with your children'

'I'll go get changed then' he said, taking the hint.



Company car.


I showed Claire how to set up a Blog today, so that she could do the same as
I am, for her friends & family. This Blogging thing could catch on.

Happy Anniversary to Bill. 14 years a cop, this week.

Hello Mummie send me a e-mail, tell me stuff.

Stin Off all w/e, as you know by now, when is a good time for me to call ?

Lolly How's things ? Still going well I hope ? Let me know.

Weeny. Had an e-mail from 212LK. Blast from the past or what ? Said he'd bumped into you.


Until next time we meet, I am sending some more pics to Stin. (standby)
