are you sure its not Monday? Its been go, go, go today.... after not being able to go to the BB sale up in Brisbane as we had an owner visiting from the Coast, we decided to just do a few things in the morning and have a bit of clean up for when the part owner of Cindy, Oscar, Bob and Flossie arrived.
First we decided to clean up Oscar and Cindy as they had both partaken in a mud bath late yesterday afternoon. However, this was not to be as wee Jimmy decided that he really wanted to spend some quality socialising time with Trousers, Vera and Maddie and also to go and have a chat with Southern and Queenie over the other side of the paddock. Forget about his mother (Sweetie) who was pacing up and down and a little frantic by his meandering actions! This little bloke has a lot of nerve for one so young. (Please let Sweetie's next foal be a filly!!!).
Finally, after getting Jimmy out of the dry girls paddock and back with Sweetie, it was time to clean up Oscar, Cindy and Flossie (Im just not sure who was supposed to end up being wet?)
Next was to do a "Martha Stewart" and clean up abit around the house, get the scones out of the freezer and defrosted, and put on a pot of coffee. Visitors running late courtesy of a flat tyre, so it was back down the yards to feed the starving critters, who are all looking really poorly - um, not!
Time to fly back up to the house, have a shower, get decent and wait for our guests to arrive! Phew! Iam exhausted just thinking about what we did today.
General consensus decided that we should head off to the Sandy Creek Hotel for a counter lunch and then come back and have a look at the horses..... it was nice to be able to sit down and just relax with an alcoholic beverage for a little bit.
*Yawn* I think Iam tired. However, before I leave you, I would like to have a quick word about the BB sale that was on today.
Some interesting results at the BB sale which had 147 lots.
Gross - $ 881,000
Average Price - $10,244

Very interesting statistics I think.
Congratulations to Trousers and Shortpants' owners who purchased a Seven Figures colt at the sale today.
I do have one further tale to tell about Queenie..... however, I might leave it until tomorrow as it is quite a tale about mistaken identity..... some horses are not who they seem to be - especially Queenie!!!
Be good
Helen.
