Yes, I still live. I mean to post a LOT. I just... never actually do it. You may have noticed this! I do also still read LJ, just mostly on the phone and commenting via phone is fiddly, so I *mean* to do it when i get home, then i forget and ... well, anyway. HI!
Life has been mostly work, horse, sleep, with occasional cider. Most of the evening seems taking up with driving to and from horse (about a 20 mile round trip). So, this weekend, we are moving the horse! Hurrah! to a much smaller place - essentially a couple of stables at the back of a very nice (and v. well off) lady's house. That is just over 5 minutes away! I shall have TIME and EVENINGS and all sorts of exciting things.
Other exciting things happening this week -
New bedroom! Decorator finally coming tomorrow to do all the papering and painting, then the new curtains will go up, then new carpet!!! and, hopefully soon after this, new wardrobes will arrive. YAY!
New Car!! it is all there waiting for me. Have to call to clear up details on picking it up because they phone to tell me on thurs. morning, and i was a bit out of it (for reasons to be explained below).
New saddle! existing saddle no longer fitted horse well. Went on epic quest via THREE different saddlers to try and get a 2nd hand leather one that suited both horse and self. Finally gave up and ordered a lovely Wintec Synthetic one. V. helpful saddler left me with a leather one on loan to use in the meantime.
( A tale of confusion, pain and why you should always wear a hat onna horse )
(TL:DR - fell off horse onto head. nothing vital damaged)
Thursday, i was completely out of it. High as a kite! It was quite good fun really, got to lie in bed for most of the day and finally read 'I Shall Wear Midnight' (tho, should probably read it again as already I'm not sure what happened). Did go out to pick up the car and realise after about 2 mintues of driving, I probably really shouldn't BE driving, but managed to make it home and back to bed safely. At some point spoke to a Nice Man about the New Car (see above) but for some reason am not quite clear on the details, so will ring them back Monday to sort it out!
Friday, with a stiff neck and v. sore head, the obvious thing to do was load the car up with fizzy wine and treats, drive to Termonfeckin (just out Drogheda. it IS a real place) to see some lovely friends and hang out by the beach! Which, despite a rather wobbly drive down turned out to be a wonderful plan, especially when Saturday was a beautiful morning, so we had a pyjama party on the beach. And that's enough words, so I shall end on picture! (also, my head still hurts)
