another bad day.....

didn't even get on! ggrrhh

the day got off to an unexpected start - Gaynor was going to turn out both this morning, but her OH (he's in a band) hadn't come home from a gig in Harrogate, the band had been offered a caravan near there and since it was a late finish ... but she didn't know that until 10.30 last night! failed to get through to me on the mobile (she'd texted, and we were upstairs listening to the radio on the internet ) so it was fortuitous I got up earlyish anyway and saw her several texts and notifications of missed calls from her - she'd been on the point of waking the kids to go and do the horses, as she hadn't been able to get to me....

we spent most of the day waiting about for TV to be delivered - had expected it today, had booked it today - it didn't turn up, and when i checked the website (having found one could track orders!) they have it down for NEXT saturday ..ggrrhh. Partner was VERY bored as (even though she was busy) she didn't get any time away from the house, at least I managed that much...

did take time out to collect new rubber stable mat - Gaynor took me up in her 4WD, would never fit in my car!

so when i did make it to the yard i had that to put down, which meant moving the bedding over, lifting three mats, putting new one down, and then cutting the two bits of a whole one I had left to fit the last space left....

by which time, it was too late to ride - well, i could have done, but everyone else who was going to ride had ridden, Gaynor had hoped to, but ended up unable to do so as had no childcare - and i think i want company, even though i know he'll go out on his own I'd still rather be with a friend

hopefully, we're all good for the lesson tomorrow ....
