I can come at doing most of the chores about the place without much of a problem... some I need to muster a little more enthusiasm than others (I let Evan, pictured above, do the pooh round... he does it so well!!) ... folding the washing, ironing, scrubbing out the water bowls however, something that I have absolutely no patience for is repairing horse rugs. So what did I need to do today that couldnt wait? Repair Joseph's rug that he had tore an almighty rip in.
Iam by no means a sewer. In fact, I remember quite vividly my mother putting me in front of her Singer sewing machine many years ago and patiently trying to teach me how to use it. This was an exercise in futility and used to cause her no end of frustration mainly because it was something that I just didnt want to do and wouldnt pay attention.
These days if our clothes need repairing, they get replaced. lol
However, today I sat down on the ground and patiently blanket stitched Joseph's rug and boy did I hate every single minute of it! I was told by Evan that it was a good lesson in patience for me (as I have very little), and lucky for him he was passing by me at the time because I would of thrown the bloody thing at him!!!
I am happy to report that I finished the job and passed the patience test with flying colours. lol

Oscar had his third and final EMIT Therapy session on Friday and will be going back into work next week, to which trainer Iam not sure. Its amazing how much weight he has put on since being here... not always a good thing for a horse in the middle of a preparation, still, we needed to sort out where his problem was.
Joseph will move out of the hospital paddock next week and into the paddock next to the house (where Oscar is). Iam sure that he will give the 2 boys (Lenny and Jake) lots of cheek when he moves in.
Shortpants and Flossie are doing very well together - each girl having a big tummy!
Joie keeps a good eye on the 2 younger girls next door and doesnt take any crap from them.
TeeCee has left Massie Lodge and has now gone to Townsville. Go gett'em boy!
The 5 canines (and two humans) are all tired of Bessie Merle and her season. It seems that Bess has set her sights on Spikey-man ..... even though he is desexed. Poor Lance is not getting a look in.
With the World Cup on, Massie Lodge is no longer is running on Australian time but on German time with Evan rearranging his sleeping patterns to fit in most of the second round of games. I have to say that I dont mind getting up to watch the Aussie's .. however I can give the others a miss.
I have to admit that Iam rather tired after working 4 days last week at Telstra. I think the thing that is frustrating me the most about working (and its not the customers!), is driving home at night with people not knowing how to operate their high beam while driving. It must be a Queensland thing.
On that note, time for me to go and get dinner so that Evan can get to bed by 730pm. I can see a night of DVDs coming up for me.
Hoorooo!!!
