Thursday was my annual trip to dressage day at Badminton with H, we did a lot of window shopping, walked a lot of steps (20,000 +!) and watched a fair bit of dressage. It was cold but dry, and it was lovely to spend the day with her.
We found a wether with flystrike on Friday, so had to dag them and then spray them, as the shearer won't be here for another month. It very much looks like we'll have to do the girls as well.
There has been a little bit of rain, though not enough for the land, but the temperature has dropped like a stone, so nothing seems to be doing much growing.
Biba pony had her feet done also on Friday, Chris our farrier bless him is rushed off his feet but managed to fit her in, so now she's got very smart toes!
Sunday brought a 'family gathering' on Neil's side about which, honestly, the least said the better. It was an exhausting day, the best part of which was getting home and decompressing with Boo in an Italian restaurant for an hour and a half, eating pizza. Moving on.
I've got a crumbling filling which I should have booked in for replacement weeks ago and didn't, so now I've got a date two weeks hence. I'm not sure it's going to last that long.
My VA work is a bit frustrating at the moment, and one of my clients is letting me go at the end of this year, so I need to decide whether to call it a day, and close the other one as well, or look for more - one on its own doesn't justify the insurance and subscriptions required. I'd like to drop it and get my substack to work for me really, but I need to be way more consistent.
Lack of consistency is my downfall. As you are only too well aware!
