Bits and pieces...
Jan. 31st, 2007 12:00 pmI've been meaning to update on various things all week and not gotten round to it so here is a sample of the bits I remember, mostly to do with getting back into routine after the combination of Christmas and flu...
Caught up on some reading while I was off ill, including "Summon The Keeper" wot the lovely
being_here got me for christmas, and was great fun, and some Hellboy comics lent by
_unhurt_, likewise much fun and which I must return (and, um, hopefully get my Sandman vol.1 back, eh? OVER A YEAR NOW ;p).
Riding Ziggy properly again - she seems pretty much over the lameness of last year so we've actually been working rather than pottering about slowly, and it HURTS. But it's great fun to be at it again and getting to canter round the indoor arena - which is quite a narrow oval, so goes 'wheee longside RUN, EEK CORNERS SLOW, don't STOP mare, go! WHEEE LONGSIDE RUN, EEK CORNERS' in quick succession. Time for a bit of refresher work on the concept of lengthening and shortening strides and variation *within* a pace.
Mudding. Heh. Got the portrait! And wart 29, maxxed a few more primaries. I'll get to 30 yet ;p
Have been kept vastly amused by the DRAMAS and WAILY and 'screw you guys, I'm going HOME' going on all over the place. Tho due to lack of sleep last night, oddly *less* amused by the witches, despite agreeing with some of it (bloody RING). Possibly because the whiny list of 'look at how little got done for us EVAR' completely left out all the stuff in CWC... waking up muttering AND BROOMS to yourself at 3am is a bit surreal.
The lack of sleep *may* have contributed somewhat to the rambliness and crankiness of the post about it. Ungrateful vermin :p
Also slowly catching up with people I missed over Christmas & just after due to the ILL, going visiting tonight for tea, buns and gossip, yay!
I've even done some work in amidst all of that. So, business as usual again ;)
