Its raining men!!

I wonder what would happen if it did rain men?!
Today is the first day of my annual leave, (well officially my weeks start on a Monday so I am just on an off duty but lets not split hairs). I set my alarm for 7 to go and do the horses, it went off, I heard the rain...... that's where it all went wrong! I am so not getting up that early to go and do the horses when I know full well that I will not be putting them out today! I got to the stables at nine! oh the shame. Gave Mouse and Red their breakfast, mucked out and gave them both some fresh hay and water. most of the horses stayed in and the ones that were turned out came back in by midday, what an awful day.
It poured down and the gales where wild, my wheelbarrow went flying across the yard and several buckets ran off by themselves.
After a cuppa back home, I put a load of laundry in the washing machine and set off to do a food shop, where I met Gem, one of my best friends from way back, we lost touch when her son was about 4, he is now 13. We swapped phone numbers and agreed to arrange an evening to go out for a drink, any excuse lol.
Back home I spent the rest of the day chilling out on the computer, until going back down to repeat this mornings chores at the stables, on the way down I noticed that we'd had so much rain that the drains weren't coping the water was pushing up out of them.
Back home again I cooked the dinner, Beth is out tonight as her boyfriend Dean, is back from uni, so we had salmon, as she doesn't like it, mad girl.
