Hopping mad!


My Husband woke me with a cuppa again this morning, he had to go to work and I had to put the horses out, I gave them their breakfast while I went and mucked out the field, the Large muddy puddle by the gate has grown to oceanic proportions, and wheeling a barrow full of horse poo through it wasn't easy.
Back in the yard I took Mouses night rug off and walked her up to the field, we began wading through the ocean its a slow process when your boots are slightly too big! and then it happened!!!!!!!!............. Mouse who found it much easier than I did walking through it, stood on my boot and Yep, I kept walking, aaggghhh, I didn't put my foot down, there was my other boot upright in the water, if I could just hop to hold onto the gate I could put it on again (like that'll happen) three hops, I grab the gate, it swings I leap forward and..................................... Kick my upright boot over, nnooooo! I watch as the water runs in. Nuts! Carefully I pick it up, and pour the water out. I have to put it back on, its freezing cold and still very wet.
A quick phone call to my mum (who only lives a short distance from the yard and when she could control the laughing!) saw me with a dry sock and a plastic bag to go in the boot!
I finished up then the two of us took the dog down to the beach for a long walk, we also took the ball slinger so she got plenty of exercises.
Back at mums I had a cuppa before going home, to muck out the Rabbit, sort out the back garden and take a package down to the post office for my husband! And this is a holiday?
It was just dinner for the girls and me tonight as my Husbands watch had their Christmas meal at work today, as usual they got a job and had to sit down to eat at 2pm, Happy Christmas Guys.
