Don't you love it when people feel compelled to share their colds with everyone at the office? Working at the farm, I am the last in line to get the wog that is going around and it has visited everyone (no one has been missed!).

So, this weekend I have been laying low, dabbing my sore red nose, sneezing, blowing my nose, coughing and spluttering and generally just feeling pretty off. Iam not even contemplating that this is going to go to my chest, it's just a head cold, it's just a head cold ... lol (Where are the Codrals?)

Sunday, today, however, has been a pretty busy day and I have had to rally and help Evan move all the horses around. This has taken most of the morning, so when we finally get inside I jump up on the lounge and pick up the latest book that I'm reading (more about that later).

I must admit that I have been too tired to blog the last few weeks with the impending breeding season, work has been getting busier and busier ... we have had visitors (my brother Neil has been up for a few days) and the equine residents have been coming and going, Adam has visited once or twice and this has been keeping Evan pretty busy.

It was nice this afternoon (after the Codrals had kicked in) going around and speaking to all the equines and giving them all cuddles.

We have moved both Harry and Jackie (pictured below) from the yard up the front to the yard at the back of the house and both boys have been getting used to their paddock and to the fact that they are surrounded with other horses.

Gossy, Pip and Maddey have been moved to the big yard at the side of the house so that we can keep an eye on Gossy and let the girls out to pick around the house - they will enjoy that. Monika is due next weekend to come and scan Joie and Pip to see where they are in their cycles.

I was standing just cuddling Gossy and to my surprise her stomach started to move .. it was fantastic (although the look on Gossy's face was "Uh oh, here we go again") - she is 3 months out now and can keep a good eye on her. Maddey was surprised to see Daisy again and quickly put her in her place.

Lucy and Jimmy are now down the back paddock, enjoying the pick and the dam. We will give Jim a few months and then probably send him down to Phil.

Joie and Sweetie are now up next to the house with Joie leaving in the next 2 weeks to go and be served by Tycoon Ruler. Sweetie will then go down with Nottie and Southern.

Time for me to go back up on the lounge, watch a movie and continue to blow my nose.... A red nose is such a good look!

(Pictured to the left are Harry - behind Jackie - surveying their new paddock. It always amazes me to see horses released into a new paddock. They all stretch out and gallop and look absolutely gorgeous.

These two boys were no different.

Two very different types of boys but wow, they certainly know how to stretch out and gallop.

Just beautiful.
