I also bought a couple of long pencil cases which I'm hoping to adapt for wet brushes to carry home after art group meetings. Good brushes need good care to last.

Only for you artistic types.

The rest of us swizzle them about in the jam jar, then stick them in the back of the cupboard. The cupboard that it took us 15 minutes to identify earlier this morning.

You remind me of last week at art. I had bought some new brushes but realised that I had not brought them to the meeting. I got home and spent a couple of days wondering where they were, until I realised I had them with me all the time, temporarily in another brush case. On the other hand I know that all the house painting brushes are on the shelf below the top shelf in the garage. I think the problem is that I have too many artist's brushes as I have some for watercolour, some for acrylic and some for oils as well as some waterbrushes too which I use for watercolours and Inktense colours (a watercolour dye type colour). Maybe toward 100 if I got to counting

I will have you know that I am very fussy about having enough art brushes too.

I have a thin one, and a thick one.

I just got these on FB. They are on the way to my house right now. They are so cheap so I can't wait to see the quality ($20 each). They are brand new with tags btw.

Thats always the danger of buying on line unless it is from a known designer. I have done the same in the past and I am sure i will still take the chance in the future.

Not fussy on the collared one. It's the collar, I am not sure about.

Shame about the short sleeved red one, but that first one is really nice. I would have that.

I was in need of some new riding breeches and top, so I got these.

They are stretchy and very comfortable.

(I won't give the brand name or the website they come from, so I have covered the name on the model's photo)...

Horse riding breeches and top

Groceries.

You're a rider, ButterflyMaiden? How long have you been horseriding for? My good friend has been riding horses since she was a child. What level are you at?

I'd be fascinated to know!

Riding for about 7 years and Level 3.

Just to qualify, the BHS Level 3 requirement was what we got to without the certification. We didn't need that official documentation for business purposes.

However, Sophia and I went with an accredited professional coach approved by the BHS (British Horse Society) to take the Ride Safe Award scheme. We went through the four levels - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and we felt that was as far as we needed to go.

Our horse riding is purely for enjoyment. We are not looking to enter professional events or coach other horse riders. As some of our riding involves going along country roads in the Forest and we need to deal with traffic to a certain extent, the training we had has given us enough confidence to deal with that.

Sophia and I took a couple of hours off from our respective workplaces today to do some shopping

I can rearrange my hours easily enough, and Sophia works flexible hours so it is also not a problem for her.

I needed to buy some new lingerie whilst Sophia needed a couple of new tops.

We didn't go too wild, just buying what we went out for

The shops we went to are villages in the New Forest so not a long journey.
