Solar powered

Day 157: solar powered. When the phone rang early this morning, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully it was a friend asking us out for a puppy play date. We took the dogs over a local dog park. Bert had a blast. We had coffee and a good catch up.

I am clearly solar powered! Bit of sun and I’m back to boundless energy. So when I got back, the horse hoover was deployed and cleaned out my lorry. I’d brought it home yesterday after Newmarket.

Then Bert had Puppy College. He was a little tired from his morning exertions. No bad thing for Storm Bert. He was definitely ready for his afternoon nap. So I left him home while I went to the yard to muck out and popped Buddy over a couple of jumps.

What a lovely day!

Short sleeves

After rushing around so much, it was lovely to be back in the saddle today. An added bonus was being in short sleeves still. It’s October right?!

I needed to go and get the screen on my phone fixed. I’d dropped it one too many times and the screen was seriously broken. It’s had a mind of its own. Randomly calling people, opening apps and trying to delete things. So it needed to be done.

I had an hour to kill while I waited. Of course, that was a challenge without my phone. Didn’t really appreciate how much I use my phone to tell the time. I keep saying I need to get the battery changed in my watch. I’ll add that to the list.

It was bizarre walking around in the warm sunshine seeing Halloween and Christmas stuff in the shops. They’ll both be here before we know it.
