Its Such A Relief


to wake up and know it's Saturday and that there's a short break away from the office! I have been working the last four days, so please excuse me from updating this blog . I find that I have had it by the time that I come home and just want to switch off... like we all do I guess.

It was lovely to be able to wander down amongst all the horses and give them all cuddles this morning. I had to laugh when I got to Maxwell and Jimmy. I noticed that Max had something sticking out of his mouth and I thought the worst until I moved closer and noticed that he had stuck his tongue outside his mouth on the side and was quite happy with himself and the world. I mentioned this to Evan and he just shrugged his shoulders and said that that was normal for Max, as well as the fact that he often ate on 3 legs with the 4th sitting in a really weird position ...

Note to Greg: maybe Max might need a tongue tie when he is old enough to race! lol

Joie and Mads continued to be entertained by Joseph and his newly awakened testosterone levels across the paddock .. he has no way of getting to them but its like with the onset of Spring, someone must of pressed a button and finally Joseph has worked out what his job should be!! Hopefully it wont be long till he goes on his way to his new home in Macksville where he will be able to try out his new skill all he likes!!!

lol

We've had 35mls of rain this last week and it was well received by all residents at Massie Lodge who are now all covered in mud, yet again. Not only that, but it was decent enough rain to start filling up the dams again. I must add many thanks must go to the lovely girl who I spoke to at Ergon Energy when our power went out three times (yes, you read it correctly!) on Wednesday last week, I started to get a little narcy but she was so nice, you couldnt get cranky! LOL

Sweetie and Libby (pictured above) are doing very well and have both started to bag-up, which is very normal at this stage of their pregnancy. We have started going down to check them once in the evening, just to make sure that all is well. Bessie Merle has assigned herself the task of our security and accompanies either Evan or myself when we go down to the stables in the dark.

Its very nice to see Massie Lodge being green again. I guess this would have to be the nicest time of the year because the transformation usually takes place overnight. Bessie and Lancey are very happy that the green frogs have started to come out again and sit on the windows; it keeps them occupied for hours!

Enough rambling! Time to go and help Evan with the feeding.

Until next time, remember, life is good!

Helen.
