Yes we are getting back to the daily grind after Craft in the country so I hope to have some updates of new "stuff" that has come in on the blog today - Yes Easter Sunday. The reasons being is we have no visitors coming, the kids have been visited by the easter bunny and I am suffering from one of those lovely 24 hour bugs and all that entails. So I dearly hope it is only 24 hours as it started mid afternoon at my friend Mel's house - poor girl I do hope I haven't "germed" her place.
So while the vomiting has eased somewhat I am feeling rather ordinary - so am dressed, tidied the kitchen, made beds and unrugged the horses and swept the kitchen but that is about it. Not feeling very enthused - so I thought would vegetate here and blog. Plus I just couldn't put up with "can we have friends over - please..............????" from the little darlings - "No I'm sick" So DH has gone cutting posts and the kids are making a cubby on the roof of the old weatherboard garden shed in the houseyard - yes they have a matress, sheets and a ladder to get up and down - and you are right - NO I am not looking!!! Better not to I think - they have done this before and I think it is better than trying to make one in the tree. The tree ended up with a matress in the fork with shovel handles poked up into it to hold it up - so you can see why the roof seems much more safe?????
Yesterday the kids and I took the horses for a ride out the front road - as it is too wet here at the moment to take them anywhere else - especially when their horses have the ability in putting it over them and not walking through water etc. So we went down the road and on the way back we thought that we would go back past the front gate into the property and head the other way - big mistake - I should have known One little so and so of a pony decided to head for home - if I had had a rifle I would have shot the little b.....d. So Little Miss H had her first buster at age 7! I must admit the whole feeling of helplessness - I contemplated... and tried to get closer to her on my horse but I pulled up as I could see if could make matters worse - which then allowed my new horse to throw in a few pig roots which then had me hanging on - perhaps a little too tightly with spurs which she didn't appreciate and continued on until I somewhat relaxed on her and then she stopped - all the while worrying where little Miss had ended up as last I saw was her turning the house yard fence .
So now that I have oodle more grey hairs, she fell off near the fuel tanks and luckily the you beaut breakaway stirrups did their job and she came off quite well - if there is such a thing when you fall off and the darling little so and so pony was standing at the yard quite content and eating - and no I haven't shot it - yet! I don't think I could ever do it but mother bear instincts make you really want to when they put your little darlings at risk. Strange thing is we have mustered with her many times and she has never tried it but this was the first time we had gone out the front gate - so I know not to do that again.
Meanwhile the horse of the year of Master L's just poked along behind us and trotted up to us all without any dramas - thank goodness!
So that was the morming and then the bug in the afternoon so I guess you could say I have had an eventful couple of days - which mind you I would swap. So now I have today, Anzac day ceremony tomorrow and pony club meeting hopefully back to ride my horse, Tuckshop wednesday and football & Netball training on Wednesday in Miles Thursday I MUST ride my horse as we are going in a draft on Saturday at Condamine and Friday going to Roma to put the car in and hopefully look at a paddock. So Saturday of course is the draft and the kids will go in to Football firstly in the morniing at Miles. So that's about it really a fairly full on week.
Oh and of course Tuesday we have the lovely ladies coming for a "catch up" clover club!
Am feeling rather sluggish so don't quite know how this is all going to happen but no doubt I will take a cement pill and all will be fine!
Here are some pics - prior to the "adventure" yesterday
