Yesterday was to relax at art. Tody is the garage door painting, the electricity and gas box covers and also a good coat of teak oil on an ornemental wooden pig. With two coats on the garage door etc and four hours drying between them it will take most of the day.
Well my car looks like a band of lumberjacks have used it for a convention so that needs a good clean inside and out. The little lawn at the front is in danger of becoming a jungle and the faries wont mow it so I guess muggings is going to do that too.. Between that I will do some washing and make bread for the dinner tonight .

I have to mow the lawn too. We have a large wild area, so No Mow May is needed here.

We have a large garden that goes all around the house, with lots of trees and bushes. It is too much for us to keep tended so we have a gardener who comes in every 2 weeks
We muck out the stable daily whilst our horses are in the paddock.
We fully clean the tack (saddle, bridle, reins, etc.) once a month, usually on a weekend.
As it so happens the tack is due to de done this weekend
N.B. I know what you are thinking.... how do I protect my nails? I always keep them short and manicured, as does Sophia. Rubber gloves are sufficient for cleaning the tack, but for the mucking out jobs I wear heavy duty work gloves

You must love your horses, ButterflyMaiden. My good friend is also a horse lover and has been riding since she was a little girl. I have also gone horseriding and felt a bit weird at first. But the horse didn't do a canter or anything!
Anyhow, I am browsing online and listening to the radio. I have also done some housework.

I do love horses, ever since childhood, but it wasn't until more recently that I was able to ride seriously and buy my own horse
Tending to them is all part of the loving experience

I thought you were down for resting today?
I would look forward to that but I needed to make the most of the good weather to get things done. It ended up being a really really busy day and I never stopped from nine until about half twelve for lunch then again from two until just before five.
I got everything I planned completed and also extras like mowing the lawn and checking and watering my plants too. It was one of those days when I just kept going and going although I was well fatigued by the time I finished. I was out like a light last night
Today I plan a short walk on the way to the chip shop and in the afternoon I may prepare some hydroponic solution plus do some artwork. With the good days the washing basket is bare and there is a little tidying around the house but mostly things are good. It's now time to wind down a little for a day or two

We are heading back home today and as usual the week flew by. Lot’s of fun and new memories and we decided we will definitely come back. Even though we are looking forward to getting home.

That is something I rarely do.
Hey, that would be a great job for me.
Professional holidayer.
Of course it is a real word, there it is there ^^^, just above.
My work is mostly mental, so it can get quite fatiguing at times.
I really enjoy my evenings at home, which are usually spent with Vanessa snuggled up on the sofa drinking wine and watching a movie.
I have the weekends off too, which allows me to recharge my batteries for the coming week
I really envy Vanessa (don't tell her though, she can get smug at times ) as she can do her work at home. I know she does work hard though, but she can take the odd tea/coffee break in between her clients. Mainly tea, as neither of us are great coffee drinkers.
Tomorrow we are cleaning the tack for our horses. That is quite a relaxing task, if you want to call it a task, but we enjoy it.
Oh, and mucking out the stable. That is fun too but needs to be done to keep a clean and healthy environment for our horses.
We are currently watching the latest "Oceans" series of movies. We have watched Oceans 11, so Oceans 12 is next.

Being on the same Forum together could prove to be quite illuminating.
But we need to be careful what we say though, and not drop any hints or secrets we wish to keep.
Fortunately, Sophia hadn't seen my post about the earrings I was going to buy her for her birthday. But now she has joined the Forum, things could get interesting
Seriously though, we don't keep any vital secrets from each other, we are very open with each other. Keeping Celebration gifts secret or arranging surprise events don't count
After walking the dogs we stopped at the side of the road to watch an oldtime rally go past and take some photos it was nice that people waved and tooted all smiles and happy faces.. No photo karens!
At home we got to work on the last part of the embankment wall which meant another first for me using a pile driver.. Wow that thing makes bits jiggle that Id forgotten I even had !!
