Today when I got up it was brilliant sunshine, I had to take all the back roads to get down to do the horses as the beach traffic was already building up. I mucked out the field and fed the girls, Mouse should be called Jumbo! she has grown yet again, she must be a good 15.1 hands high, and only just two years old! She is still beautiful though and very calm for a youngster. having done the horses I walked back to my mums house where I had had to leave the car, as I couldn't get anywhere near the yard. We had a cup of tea and a natter before I had to go, to get back in time for a shift I was doing with the Private side of our ambulance service. Back home I grudgingly put my uniform on, its far too hot to wear on a lovely sunny day like this. I arrived at the rendezvous point and met up with five others who I would be working with, we were given tickets for a complimentary meal before the briefing. I had a jacket potato and salad followed by apple crumble and custard, yummy. At the briefing we were put into pairs and given our areas, my crew mate for the event was Alan and we had the crowd to do, yay, this meant I didn't have to watch the horses at all. I hate horse racing and only agreed to do the shift because they were so short of staff, and it was to be flat racing, therefore less chance of a horse having to be destroyed!! oh yes. What people see in racing over the sticks I just don't know, even flat racing sees its share of destroyed horses, not an event for horse lovers that's for sure. We had a grand total of zero patients, but it wasn't too boring as I managed to catch up with Alan who I haven't seen for years. Once home I just got back in time to say goodbye to Flower before she went home. Then my Husband opened a very nice bottle of white wine (yes I did say white!!) called Cuvee Prestige, and we spent the rest of the evening chilling out.
