Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
It’s been a very windy, wet and sunny day here today. The kind of day that makes you want to go back into hibernation. My conservatory is the perfect place to watch the trees sway, the clouds blow by and the kittens tear around the garden.
Had a couple of podcasts to listen to so seemed like a good place to do that this afternoon. I’ve had a really productive week so far, so good to take a bit of time away from the laptop.
I’ve never been good on volume. I ordered a large bag of cat food. Wasn’t expecting it to be that large!! Luckily they like it….
Anyone else have the same issue?!
On Monday, Buddy was found at breakfast attached to his stall chain. Not a clue how long he’d been like that. Or how he managed to get his rug clip through the chain link. He’d obviously tried to release himself resulting in a rather ripped rug. Very grateful it wasn’t a ripped Buddy.
Got to the yard today to find another one of his rugs ripped.
He’s super talented my boy! To be fair today’s ripped rug was an old one and was falling apart somewhat.
A replacement rug arrived today. It’s Teflon coated so let’s see how long it lasts.
We’re available for rug sponsorship…. 😉
I gave the conservatory a deep clean over the weekend. The steam cleaner made short work of it. The kittens are very appreciative as you can see.
They spent most of the day snuggled up on their tower. They’re just so cute.
Today is International
Women’s Day. So here’s to all of the strong women in my life (past, present and future). You’re all amazing!!
Seriously what is it with cats and boxes?! The kittens were much more interested in the box than the food that came in it! Even Nero got in on the act.
Spotted this in the garden today. Looks like someone has decided to do a bit of home improvements. The bird went inside and peck bits out from there and then come outside and peck more bits off.
Very interesting behaviour. Think I might need to buy a new bird box…
This poor little chap somehow managed to get trapped in my greenhouse today. Poor thing couldn’t work out how to get out and was flapping about. The kittens were rather interested in it all – thankfully they couldn’t get in.
After a lot more flapping and me ushering it towards the door, off it flew. Not a clue what type of bird it is, but hope it stays safe.
I filled in my census online today. The census is a valuable source of information for those looking back through history. It features heavily in ‘Who do you think you are’ – one of my favourite programmes.
It got me thinking about what my history would be through the census. There’s a big differences I can imagine. Even if I think back to the last one!! I had a different name then. Maybe one to take a look at one day.
After spending this morning on my laptop, I thought I’d try a different exercise with Buddy. This square is an exercise that we did with Caroline Moore. I’m pleased to say we’ve massively improved on that particular car crash!
It may look easy but it really got Buddy focused and I had to plan ahead.
Then back to my laptop for a networking meeting this evening. I’m a bit zoomed out now.
