hellisonFriday again, and I've even done some work (go me). This week has gone very quickly tho. Possibly the vagueness while recovering from febmeet helped with that.
And finally, a quiet weekend! First one this month I think. There may even be champagne. It certainly feels like a champagne Friday [1].
But first, up to the stables tonight, and thanks to last night's many angry phone calls and other farrier-related fun I have a horse with shoes. Yay. Might just go for a hack tho, keep her fresh for tomorrow.
Tho considering she hasn't been hunting in nearly a month, I doubt anything will keep her back once she gets going.
It has occured to me I have an oddly ambivalent attitude to hunting (instead of my normal Fixed Opinion on everything). In general, I don't agree with chasing all over the countryside to tear an animal apart and I certainly wouldn't do it myself, but specifically, I have no real objections to other people doing it.
Considering I ride a hunter and put a lot of effort into keeping her fit and able to hunt, it would be a bit hypocritical if I did.
I guess when it comes to foxes, I'm pro-choice rather than pro-life.
happy weekending all
[1] Eatin's Champagne Theory.
The local offy sells Piper Heisdeck for c.£18 and Pol Roger (hmmmm) for £22.
Now considering one would normally spend at least £40 on a night out, staying in with a bottle of Piper actually SAVES me at least £22. Which is enough for a bottle of Pol Roger tomorrow night ;)
I just have to resist the vintage. It doesn't fit the theory quite so well. But it tastes so so good...
