Blisters, a Haircut and an unusual day out planned…..
Hello all,
I write this blog from under the covers of my straw bed cos its very late and I should really be asleep and I’ve got some curlers in my hair which means i’m off somewhere tomorrow and its probably going to very early! Also, if they are going to be in that long, it means one thing………. yes, I will be a James Brown lookalike by the time I go cross country.
Well, a funny week really, Pippa kept us awake most of last weekend cos she had a fab couple of days dressaging, quite funny really, Percy had been giving her a few pointers and was quite pleased for her with her placings, but the moment she overstepped the mark on the bragging he plugged into his ipod and listened to Nickelback, very loudly, apparantly he would like to do some prancing to them, not very BD me thinks.
Ruby was whisked off to a cross country course on the Sunday with her Nanny, Chloe, and had a lovely afternoon in the sun, but she was very tired on Sunday evening, we didn’t hear of her day out till Monday night when she had recovered a bit, I think she enjoyed it, but she is not thinking of a long term career in it. Just as well really, couldn’t do with her coming out to party with me, god, how distracting! Bert went out with mummy kate on Sunday and had a little pop round xc to gain some confidence after Chilham, he was quite upbeat when he got back. Everyone else stayed at home, winter beckons as the social diary starts to cool off.
Well, me and Percy had a very quiet weekend, our silly mum had a bit of an accident on the Friday afternoon and appeared Saturday morning with several plastic bags wrapped round her foot, it was sooo scarey, I really thought she was being eaten by a sainsburys bag from the feet upwards, it gave me nightmares til Tuesday til I realised her leg was still there. Then we have been ridden by Emma and Kate all week! However, mum was back on Percy today and it has been decided that this weekend that I will be ridden by Emma but mum feels more confident on Percy for our day out tomorrow. So, a first for me. Being ridden by someone with extremely long legs….. when she squeezes I can’t breathe. I wonder if she will wear her red dress??!! Anyway they managed to get some of my coat off, I was very hot, but was there really any need to do it? Percy got everything taken off, can’t understand why he is so cool about it, it really tickles me. Pips naked too, she is Percy’s ‘mini me’.
Lovely to hear from our neighbours this week. Don’t get to see much of Harry and Ted but we do chat to each other over the hedges, Ted is full of fabulous stories of Fairlawn and Harry is just full of really scarey stories of eventing, think he is just trying to put me off. Doesn’t he know that Percy does that anyway? And that mad old Garfield from Hildenborough, he is so naughty, maybe he will drop by soon for a ginger ninja natter. Glad to see that the large black lady did her thing, bit like the tortise and the hare…..
Well, my hot chocolate beckons and Al Murray is on the telly then its off to bed. Speak to you all soon. lol B xx
