Catch up

Again, it's been a while, I've had other things on my mind and not really had anything to say.
Summer has arrived with a bang, it's hot, lots of flies and it drains the life out of you. The sun is welcome though and we've just got all our hay in the barn so good reason to celebrate.

Remy's had a week off because of a bang to his eye. There's no cut, but a lot of swelling, mainly around his eye socket. He's obviously banged it somehow, but the swelling has started to subside so hopefull it'll not be too long before he's recovered.
Bonbon has been particularly uncooperative and having taken everything into consideration, It looks like she might be a little bit hormonal and I'm hoping we can rectify it with a herbal supplement. She's been very sensitive to the touch and the leg recently, not happy when I've been riding her , withdrawn and uncommunicative in the stable, and generally quiet and withdrawn.
I've taken her up to the school the last couple of days though to do some in-hand work, keeping everything quiet and calm, and she's been very sweet and willing. The supplement is on order, so we'll see.
My parents have been here on holiday, they had a road trip, and they seemed to have a lovely time. Jypp (our collie who went to live with them last year) came with them, and had a lovely time too, and once the pups had accepted him, they never stopped running and playing.

I'm enjoying playing the sax, more than ever, it makes it worthwhile when you have others to play with.
This is the latest 'ballad of the month' on the sax forum.  It's called 'You Don't Know What Love Is'
