Cover up

Today I have been mostly avoiding the sunshine. I am a tad pink in places from yesterday. Very pink in others. Seriously, you’d have thought I would have gotten the hang of suncream by now.

The backs of my legs are the worst bit. Guess they don’t see the sun much. They’re a little reminiscent of lobster legs right now.

I’ll live. And you’d like to think I’ve learned a valuable life lesson. Here’s hoping.

In the meantime, it’s lots of aloe vera, water and paracetamol. Oh and baggy trousers. And yes I’m now singing that song.

Red hot

Another fab horsey day out for me. Stewarding the SJ at Blackwater Farm’s ODE. It was a glorious day. Unfortunately my suncream application skills are far inferior to my ability to get every rider through the SJ phase. Let’s just say Aloe Vera is my friend right now.

A lovely Brucey Bonus today was meeting this incredible human being. Many of you might follow her. She’s the person behind Muddy Mayhem. And part of my favourite podcast Buck Off Banter.

She’d dusted off her eventing boots after a hiatus and smashed it out of the park! Got me thinking that maybe it’s time to dust off mine. I do miss it. So time to refresh my goals and kick on. Better warn Buddy he needs to crack out his brave pants!

Might need to wait till I stop glowing though. Not sure I could any kind of boots on right now. The backs of my legs are on fire! Bit like Karla.
