It’s been a couple of weeks since riding a horsey so today I managed to get in a wee mosey ride on Bella….<\/p>\n

that is, before it started drizzling (the sort of wetness that you don’t really realise is wet until you get home and you feel everything is saturated! LOL).<\/p>\n

It was so nice to get bum to saddle again \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The weather has been dry recently, so dry that our house stream that brings us water is dry ;( We’re taking 8 x 5lt containers to the main river near the estate entrance and filling them up for our washing up and toilet water….if it continues we’ll have to go to the local swimming baths for showers and local laundry services for clothes washing.<\/p>\n

It struck me as funny yesterday that in Winter we have all the water we need to do the washing but no sun to dry it with (it takes a while to dry stuff in the house in the lounge while the wood burning stove is going full time) and then in Summer we have all the sun to dry clothing with but not the water to wash it with!!! LOL LOL LOL. Hey ho, ’tis the way of things here, we live with the rhythm of nature.<\/p>\n

I also spent some time putting the agility back up in the closed off area so that when we want to play it’s all set up \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Not doing a lot (as usual) as the weather goes from too hot to stand to drizzle all day ;(<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’re praying for rain up here as our house water well has run dry already this year ;( \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
