Do you ever have those days where for some reason or another you end up going through your old photos or going through a bag of bits and pieces that you have put away for what seems years? Because I have had such a hectic four days at Telstra, today was spent just relaxing and trying to catch up with things that I havent been able to do.
Actually by accident today, I ended up going through my old photos and ended up finding a school photo from 1974 - Class 5T (with the "T" standing for Mrs. Turner). In my class was none other than 2006 Oscar Nominee, Nicky Gooley. Not only did I go to school with Nicky, but I remember that we ended up going away on Camp to Lake Keepit (which is close to Tamworth) where she lent me a pair of socks because all of mine had got wet due to lots of rain. (To think that if I had kept those socks I could of sold them on E-Bay for thousands of dollars...) lol
It's amazing what you stick away in the cupboard in bags and just plain forget about! I'm not really a hoarder by nature, but I found a lot of things when I went through my cupboard that I havent seen for years!
Comings and Goings....
Joey (aka Joie de Victorie, pictured above) is starting to settle down since arriving last week... She has come out of the day yard and has gone into Rosie's paddock with Sunny and Cindy. She really is quite sooky at the moment and is all up for a cuddle and a pat. In saying all of that, I think she is a little confused as to why she is not in work with Paul and is expected to relax! The leg that she bumped in the jump out is showing no signs of soreness - I think she will go back up to Paul next week, ready to get back into it. She came to us with a little cut at the corner of her eye and one under the chin... probably from the trip down I am thinking.
Meanwhile, Sunny and Cindy are starting to look like blimps - I think Cindy (Lightning Edge) will be leaving in the next week or so to go back into work down in Northern NSW (the way she is at the moment, I would think that it will take Bluey more than 8 weeks to get that tummy off her!). Sunny's foot is certainly healing up now and she does not think much of the Davis Boot.
(Please excuse me while I digress..... Iam sitting here out in the living room blogging for something different... the Commonwealth Games are on the TV and for the 10th time this evening Iam typing to the tunes of our national anthem ... Australians let us rejoice... lol - not that Iam complaining of course as its always good to see the Aussies win - but I have to say that the tune is becoming a bit monotonous! Why cant they alternate with Waltzing Matilda? LMAO).
TeeCee (aka Thunderousclassics), has settled in well with Bob (Centenn) and Hamish (Sir Weather Vain). It seems that TeeCee and Hamish are now an item. They eat out of the same bowl, share their hay, generally just hang out together. Meanwhile poor Bob is getting over a bite on the shoulder from Ring Cycle (who left Massie Lodge on Thursday). Maybe it was a goodbye kiss? Ring Cycle made it to Coonabarabran on Friday and the new owner is very pleased with him. We still havent decided what to do with TeeCee, although I dont think he will be going anywhere in a hurry!
Eric the Horse (aka Entirely) has now been brought up from the back to have a go around the house as the Victor EEEEEE mower. Eric who never raced because of a throat operation that went wrong, has been struggling to get over a very bad hoof abcess, however, I think that now we have it's measure and it seems to be healing up (thank goodness ... I have to say that Iam not very keen on dressing his hoof as he is not a very good patient!). He is a gentleman apart from that and will spend the rest of his life with us as he cannot be used as a riding horse because of his throat condition. I have to laugh because he follows Evan around like one of the dogs.
Jimmy (colt by Private Agenda out of Sweet Air) will be weaned in the next week.... which will add some fun and games for us. Billy and Max are doing very well with Billy certainly coming along now in leaps and bounds (for which we are both very happy about).
Flossie (Dodge/Wanchai Lady) and Shorts (Irish Royal/TT) are doing great with Flossie looking 100% on her condition when she arrived. She is quite a nice filly. Shorts is still a bit warty, but that doesnt seem to affect her appetite! Shorts and Floss have become good friends - which is good for both of them.
Sorry, another digression.... But the dulcit tones of Darryl Eastlake are bellowing out of the tv.... how the hell did he get to commentate on the Weightlifting? ... I think that he and Ray Warren should team up - Darryl gets way over excited with the lifting and Ray Warren calls the swimming like a football game. LOL Thank goodness they are not showing alot of Weight Lifting!
Well, time for me to hit the sack. Promise to post soon!
