Maree, one of the girls at Donna's work was lamenting on Friday that she has to find more grazing for one of her two horses. They don't have enough grass at home and where she had been grazing her up at Oxford had now run out too. While we don't have oodles of grass here, we aren't too bad, so now have these two babies in our paddock. As Lyall said 'your totally in your element aren't you' lol. For those of you who don't know, I spent most of my teenage/young adult years riding and spend seven years working on studs (with racehorses - the ones you see at the gallops, not the trots), and prepping yearlings (one year old horses) for sale, both here and in Aussie. A lot of my job involved flying in planes with horses. It's allowed to live in both countries and to see how the other half lived. One stud I worked on in Aus, was also a vineyard (Arrowfield Stud). So we had access to a winery and we lived in a village (which was a whole bunch of three bedroom homes in a big horseshoe shape, with our own sections etc and in the middle of the horseshoe was a games building and swimming pool. It was a loooooooonggggggggg way from anywhere lol. Having these two here for a month or two reminds me of why I don't have horses anymore...I still have to go out and feed them even though it's raining and because I'm a nice person, they are getting hay morning and night and hard feed at night, so that's at least three visits in the rain lol. This morning I had them wandering around our front section (which is about an acre and a half) as it's nice and green there...I was periodically checking on them...where were they? Standing under the alcove at the front door lol. Opened the window and Izz stuck her head in for a chat lol. Hmmm maybe I don need a horse or two after all lol.

So I've been toddling along on the scrapping front and have spent a leisurely day in my scraproom today (with the horses looking in those windows too lol). Am really enjoying my creating at the moment...lots of mojo lol. Long may it last.

You know in my last post I said about two of my workmates wanting the same software I had but the third didn't? Well now the third does as well lol. I did a bit of shopping for work on Thursday. Eight hundred and eighty dollars later. Can't wait to show them a few new ideas in the art department.

It looks like it's not raining at the moment, so I'm off to chuck the last lot of todays hay in the paddock, have a good week all. Especially you Nigel lol.
