Today has been vaguely productive. Paid the electricity bill (on time for once too), renewed the company insurance, got paid too (yay) and got to the bank. Went to forbidden planet to see if they'd got any more of the Firefly comics in, but they're still all sold out. They did have Neil Gaiman's 1602 tho, which was a nice bonus. They had Anansi Boys too, which threw me into a bit of a quandry. Naturally I want it NOW but I'm also thinking of going to the dublin signing so I should probably wait til then.
Maybe. I might go buy Thud instead to keep myself happy.
Also ordered 2 more Sandman and the serenity novelisation & companion off Amazon. No joy with the comics there either, Ebay may be the last resort. Of course then there's the whole cover issue. I don't *think* I'm obsessed quite enough to buy the 3 versions of each, but Mal or Jayne cover? Decisions are so hard. Not sure who the other cover of the 1st one is, but if it's Wash I'm really going to be stuck. Damn these cunning marketing ploys!
Ziggy is still going well, rode indoors last night for the first time and she behaved much better than I expected. She went into the corners (mostly) and even cantered a full lap on each rein, tho that did take a bit of working up to. No bucks either, which was a surprise! Had a few jumps too, but my timing is so off, I really need to sort out a lesson with Suzie to work on that before I tackle anything over about 2ft. Confidence may also be an issue there ;p
Looking back to this time last year (thanks to memes of all things), we're much further along with her than I'd realised. This time last year we'd only *started* canter work and hadn't even got to jumping, so I'm well pleased and can even relax a bit. Hmm we? I mean me, since it has been just me this time round. Yay for me *pats self on back*. I reckon I've earned that!
She comes in from the field at the weekend, which means no more trekking round the field and through the stream every night to find her, but on the downside means mucking out. Still, it tones the upper arms nicely. Silver linings and all that ;)
ps the mood icon thingy (what DO you call those things) for accomplished just cracked me up. You go murderous goth icon girl!
