It’s my little princess’s birthday today…

She has had a fabulous time, we made the day really special for her. We had a BBQ with some friends and it was lovely, sitting out in the garden with the smell of burgers cooking and a glass of wine in my hand talking to a really close friend of mine whilst our children ran happily around the garden and bounced on the trampoline.

 

I got 2 postcards today :D

One from Oslo in Norway and one from Badlands National Park in America

The cards are lovely and they will look goood in my daughters collection. We are going to Edinburgh tomorrow to meet a friend for Lunch….

When i went for a walk the other night there were some micro lights flying in the sky, i tried to take some pictures and failed miserably, there is only one picture that you can see a black spot in.. which is the micro light

I am now going to update my other journal on my antics of today

 

 

 

it has been showery today but dried a little this afternoon. it was quite warm and i took my mare out for her first hack for a few months. We haven’t been able to get our during the winter months :(

But we got out today and it was lovely. She was very bouncy and excited to be out. I am already feeling the after effects :( Sore bum and calves lol

I plan on going out tomorrow night too after work, wish i could go out in the morning but i’d have to get up at 5am instead of 6am and that would kill me

What on earth is happening to this week……. the days are passing by in a daze this week…. i am having such a hectic week that my feet are hardly touching the ground and basically if you attached a brush to my ass i could sweep the floor as i go along lol…

So today…………… 

Up with the blinking larks yet again this morning and down to the stables…… Got my mare ready to go out in the field, put her rug on and headcollar and left her in her stable whilst i got my little one  ready and all i heard was bang bang bang, she was banging the door and the next thing she grabbed the bolt with her teeth banged the door and the stable door opened and out she went………. all you heard from me was SHIT, lol and i had to quickly grab him and run for her as she was by now in the yard heading for the field. By the time i grabbed her she was stood by the yard gate…….. good job i hadnt opened the gate. Got to the gate and he stood on my toe and would not budge…… and it flaming hurt, ouch. 
When i checked on my poor toe later it was all bleeding and it has hurt all day :(

Got to work and i made a pan of soup for my kids at work, the smell omitting from the kitchen at work was out of this world :)

Spoke to my friend on the phone as i was given wrong information when i booked our B&B and it wasn’t as close to the centre of Edinburgh as i was told…… so she got to work and got us another much nicer B&B……… 

This afternoon at work was quite busy at times and my pan of soup went down a treat. The kids loved it, alt least they had something to eat today… for some this could have been their first meal for days and might be their last for days…… I love my job, but it has it’s hard points ……..

Okay so what else……. made paella for tea, but i think i was a bit heavy on the spice lol, got an itchy nose when i was eating it…….lol. I’ve had a soak in the bath as i had bought some nice bubble Bath and i’m going to go read my book soon as i am still dog tired and i need to catch up with some missed sleep……. I can’t stop myself from yawning.

OMG!!!!!!

My mobile cockaddodledoo’d at wait for it 05.15 this morning…………… omg, who on earth gets out of bed at that time of the morning except crazy Scottish lassies who was off to do a car boot……… lol

So because of the clocks going forward an hour it was pitch black outside and in reality it was only 4.15 according to my body clock. So i dragged my butt out of bed and down to the stables to sort my horses  out. I couldn’t put them in the field as it was tipping with rain and windy as hell…… and i was gonna do a carboot….. i must have been mad, lost my marbles or something, lol

Arrived at the carboot with my daughter and managed to get in the sheds so at least it was dry. I had shit loads of stuff, but it wasn’t a good day for sellers today. There was a really bad accident :( at the botttom of the road where the car boot was, 3 ambulances, Police etc and people were not allowed to come into the carboot…….. I hope no one was seriously hurt……..

Anyways i made £56, which for a pile of crap i suppose wasn’t bad. I’m aiming to do another one next week and this time i do not want to take my daughter, so i’m going to see if i can convince my friend to help me…… It will be good to see her and my god i don’t half need to see her.

So the stall next to mine was selling loads of pig ornaments and on the stall there was these 2 piggy banks

Anyways for our meal tonight i made Jacket potato, salad and Turkey steak with mushroms and garlic……. it was mega yummy
