to be able to wake up and know that its Sunday ... a day of rest? Very Sweet indeed. By the time I had actually gotten out of bed (I was allowed to sleep in today), Susie, Evan and the girls had pooh'd- up, fed-up and were coming back inside about to throw together a yummy breakkie of crumpets and/or muffins with honey, followed by very sweet and ready to eat Packham pears. Today I was very spoilt indeed.
Not to forget of course dinner last night which was a beautiful leg of Pork (cooked to perfection by Evan), with all the baked dinner trimmings, dessert to die for (a very rich chocolate cake made with sour cream and raspberries, topped off with strawberries) and all washed down with a glass or 5 of bubbles (well, we had to help celebrate for our owners, Rob & Jane Koch and Nick Brown, who as you know both had wins at Eagle Farm yesterday!).
Not only were we celebrating for our owners who did so well yesterday, but our celebration was also for Sue's grandaughter Tahnika's 13th Birthday today . Tahnika also celebrated her birthday by bathing in some Massie Lodge Mud (pictured above with her sister, Cecelia who tried the mud treatment on her face!).
Today saw a few movements around the place with Sweetie and Libby coming up closer to the house (which they are really not very happy about), and moving Trousers and Vera down the back to their previous paddock. Joseph was not happy about the movements of the ladies ... mind you, he was more worried about Joie who seems to have come into season and decided to move out of his range of vision to pick on some grass!
With Susie and gals on their way back to Brisbane, its nearly time to go out and feed the horses and make sure that Sweetie and Libby will be ok ... Iam a bit concerned about Libby as she is one horse who does not take to change easily and hopefully will look to Sweetie for confidence (as Sweetie has an over abundance in that department!!!).
Life is Good. Go and Get Yourself Some!
