Viruses, coughs and broken wind

Horses are all fine, me on the other hand is still struggling with the remains of flu that has left me with a cough and a general lack of energy.  It has been four weeks now, funny how when you work for yourself you don't catch any bugs but as soon as you get paid sick leave you promptly pick up something that floors you.


Managed to walk to the 6th floor of my building and keep breathing today so I think I am on the mend.  Horses are all well, Max and Jamie have been put on the back burner due to my flu but Rosey and Charlie Too have been worked by C.  Rosey's owner made an appearance last week, reading week apparently, don't uni students get enough holiday?  Typical L turned up at just the wrong time (ie when we had every other horse tied up in the yard and Rosey had been put to bed), rode, got Rosey sweaty and then announced 'I need to go now because I am going to the cinema/dinner/a cocktail party' so handed back the horse for us to cool off and then put to bed (again).  I think her idea of full livery is very different to ours.


Bumped in to a friend from school today, 2.4 children, skiing tan, hair arranged by hairdresser not by wind/riding hat, clothes devoid of any animal hair, no mud on shoes and to finish me off wearing heels (and could walk in them).  Worse thing was that she immediately recognised me and yet I didn't have a clue, my colleague to her credit said it must be because I have kept my youthful looks ........

  1. A lot of horrid bugs going round. But can't say I've noticed being employed leads to more although logically it would due to working in Thevmeantimde
