waking up on a Saturday morning. The fact that you have to get up and feed the horses doesnt faze you. You dont mind the fact that you have to face Warwick town traffic and do the shopping. The fact is .... its Saturday!! So, after waking up and having my cup of tea left by Evan, I collect all the dogs and wander down the back - it's green, it's lush... its not stinking hot (yet?) and join in with the feeding up process.
One of the nicest things about Saturdays is the fact that its not a work day but a day to enjoy with Evan and the dogs and of course the horses!
Ergon Energy
A quick mention about Ergon Energy. I have written before (and whinged no end) about the outages that we have had and after the last one, I was sent the following email. Now you have to understand that the day the outage happened was a clear, sunny day... no storms, no rain...
I am sorry to say that I have to apologise again for the interruption to supply that occurred this afternoon.
You are quite correct in complaining that we have had more than our fair share of problems in recent times.
The problem today was with the East Warwick Sub Station, one of the 4 supplying the local area. A lightning arrestor blew - tripping the protection equipment at the substation causing the outage. This fault was not evident until testing of equipment was carried out after the supply failed to prove where the problem lay. It would appear that the arrestor would have been affected in the recent electrical storms, but did not fail until this afternoon. These arrestors as the name suggests, are designed to protect our equipment in the event of a lightning strike.
I certainly can understand your frustration and dissatisfaction.
As you are aware, most of the recent outages have been a result of problems with our high voltage feeder from Toowoomba. To give you an update on what we are doing, a helicopter patrol has been photographing each pole to help identify potential problems so they can be rectified before they occur. This is a proactive approach to make the system better. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvienance that you have experienced of late.
Hahaha..... one can only laugh at this.... "....system better..."
Comings and Goings...
No goings at the moment, mostly paddock changes!
Charlie (pictured above) has settled in back home nicely and is bossing Oscar around. Not even Lenny stands a chance with Uncle Charlie around and seeing those two together makes me laugh... Lenny doesnt stand a chance! Poor Oscar had his feet done last week and is a little sore, however, the ground is still nice and soft so its not so bad. Cindy keeps on knocking her leg, so we keep spraying it.
Gracie has moved in with Cindy as she was showing to be a bit lame, but seems to be better and will go back in with Joey and Sunny either tomorrow or Monday.
Libby leaves for Noralla this week to visit that hunk DITW.
It now seems that Sweetie (Sweet Air) will now be visiting Pure Theatre.
Nanna and Snooks will be visiting either Celestial Dancer or Irish Royal.
Its all happening!
As for Evan and I, Saturday and Sunday are our days off... a couple of drinks, some chippies and a few dvds.... what better way to relax? Oh and to turn the mobiles off .... I wish!!
I think its important that you have some human time.... as much as the horses play such a large role in our lives, you have to find the balance.
And that is the trick. Anyone have any ideas?
lol
