I have had a wonderful day to day. I dug a new part for my shade border. I have a spot along the fenceline where the grass fails and moss and weeds grow at the end of the border. Its my quiet comtemplative corner on hot days always in the shade so I have cleared part of it and dug it over to let the heavy rain that is forecast knock the lumps about. I have rescued and potted up some self-seeded ferns and foxgloves and over the next week I shall plant the spot up. I would post photos but its now chucking it down.
I really got stuck into my painting of Lester today using a lot of pastel pencils. I took a few photos of my progress. I could not see enough detail in the original photo so I wacked up the brightness in Paint Shop Pro to get some of the detail right. Here he is today.
Its now 9 weeks since I gave up my horse and just over 3 weeks since he was sold. For the first time in ages I actually felt like playing with horses and as my friend Diane is on holiday I went over to her place and played with her horse Bella. She is somewhat overweight so needs work so I took her out to the field and worked her on the lunge. She was quiet challenging but I did get some decent work out of her. Then I spent an hour poo picking her field and loved every minute of it how sad is that.
I phoned her later to let her know that I had worked her horse and asked if she was always so tricky on the lunge and she said I dont know I have never lunged her well they say ignorance is bliss!!
