I have been most remiss in my posting on this blog. Its not because I havent wanted to do it, its more to do with a lack of time to sit and actually do it! Every day seems to go by at 100 kph, however the amount of tasks that we need to fit into each days seems to increase with each new resident.
Everything has been in fast pace around here for the last week.... a visit from Adam the Farrier (who seems to be suffering from the same time problem that we have) last week to trim the 2 young boys (Jakey and Lenny, pictured) - which took some time I might add as wee Lenny proved to be a bit of a handful. Then it was on to Eric and then it was time for Adam to go. Although he is due back again this week for some more trims, including the wee little man, Billy who needs his front foot trimmed again.
We have had Joey here for the last 2 weeks recouperating after a bit of a scrap in a jump out. Paul Niperress, his wife Lisa and their boy Harrison were down today for morning tea to check Joey out. Paul, still not happy with Joey, has asked us to get Chris out to see her this week for a second opinion. So, we will be seeing Chris this week as well as Adam! While Chris is out, we will get him to microchip Flossie (Dodge /Wanchai Lady) and might just get him to cast his eye over Eric and Bob.
Paul gave his nod of approval for TeeCee (Thunderousclassic) and also gave his nod of approval for Sunny when her foot fully recovers. Paul also ran his eye over Lenny and Jake and really liked the look of them both for the future. So that was a good visit! (Except for the date loaf.... lol.... well... I keep telling you Iam no Martha Stewart!!!)
Cindy (Lightning Edge) went back to work last Tuesday with Phil Quinnell - she was ready to get her mind back on the job!
Last night saw a trip to the Toowoomba races to celebrate a 25th Wedding Anniversary where Evan and I organised a punters club for the night. We ended up raising $190 for a local Toowoomba charity which was great. I have to comment here about the state of the Toowoomba Track - it was absolutely disgusting. Rumour has it that it is still being mowed a couple of times during the week and as a result it was an absolute dustbowl. With the rail out a good 10m, no one was making any ground and the dust just flew!! Hello???? Cant someone see how bad it is for the horses? Heaven help the Weetwood this Thursday, lets hope sanity prevails before then.
So as you can see, there is no rest for the wicked here !
Not long now until the unveiling of the new and improved Massie Lodge site.... waiting, waiting, waiting... lol (patience? what patience!!!).
Well, time for me to go and get dinner started.... tonight its home cooked Pizza... yummo!
Helen.
P.S. Congratulations to the owner and trainer of Irish Secretariat who won at Rockhampton and paid $102 for the win on Friday.... the Irish Royal's are certainly doing it for themselves now! You know me, a fan of Danehill Iam not... but Irish Royal is certainly provining that he can throw some handy horses to race not just here in Queensland, but in NSW at provincial level (Canterbury) with Flukepennyprincess.
