No horses today, too busy this morning re-seeding one of our fields which needed to be done before the guy comes to top it at the weekend. After that we had to cut the lower branches off the tree in the yard as they're nearly touching the ground and taking up quite a bit of space. It's good because now I've got a nice little circular area to work the guys.
We now have a CT on the landrover thanks to the lovely man at the CT centre in the next village. He checked out the ID number, said it wasn't a problem, and 'voila' - done!!
We've also got the wood- burner chimney fitted in the gite now, so set up for winter guests and wood ordered to come next week.
I suddenly got the urge to drag my guitar out of its case for the first time in years the other day, it was under the bed covered in a layer of dust! I've replaced a couple of strings and had a little play ( it's been a long time and boy am I rubbish) so we'll see how it goes. Ricky's already suggesting we look for some duet music!!
It's coming up to that dreaded time of the year when the chasse start to make an appearance and last week they were tooting back and forwards for no apparent reason, couldn't hear any yapping of dogs, Jim said that they're probably just getting drunk and practicing tooting their horns - I can believe it!! Anyway we'll see if they're around tomorrow, they're not supposed to start until the end of September, but they're like kids at christmas, can't bloody wait!
