I seem to spend a lot of time being busy and not having a lot to show for it. How is that. Possibly because quite a bit of time seems to be spent negotiating deals for getting things done or getting people to do stuff at short notice, all of which is important to our endeavours. Also, am dipping in and out doing bits of stuff and not actually getting anything finished, which won't help.
Really enjoyed a rare lie in this morning although was still up by 8am, having dreamt that Sid forgot to feed and turn out Mr T when he did them before work this morning. Sid will doubtless tell me that this is evidence of rampant control freakery on my part, but I can't see it myself. Did he mix the breakfasts enough? Did he put the hay in the mangers appropriately mixed so they wouldn't just pick out the haylage? Only kidding. Really, nothing serious in there at all.
The muck clamp is under way and the RSJs are embedded in concrete, which is setting as we speak. It remains to be seen whether the exact right angles between them will meet Sid's equally exacting standards. Am hopeful.
Rode Q, who was on good if minimalist form, wanting to devote more energy to finding things to spook at than doing actual work. Solved that with a mix of being utterly uninterested in any of his exhortations to mum LOOK and giving him plenty of other things to think about. He did some very nice piaffe steps on the left rein but didn't get much of any use at all on the right rein.
The Easter weekend promises an overhaul of the garden and the finishing off of the clamp. Hopefully the weather will be better.
