Sitting here trying to work out how to set up my website and this is a welcome relief from everything else that wants to go wrong.
It is at present about 30°C outside and getting warmer, bit windy and dust is blowing around in the paddocks.
Trying to make the most of my day as I have another computer to sort out later and my digital camera to charge for the weekend, I work as a professional photographer most weekends and shoot horse events in the Gippsland/Peninsula areas.
Our day starts at about 5.30am when we have to get up and feed the horses, sort out the dogs and get ourselves ready for work by about 7.30, this usually involves a lot of everything not going to plan, lack of cooperation from the kids but by the time we leave we are generally back on speaking terms again.
We have had a bit of a drama this week with Candy the foal breaking her leg when she tried to jump a fence, she is at home at the moment looking decidedly sorry for herself and is somewhat immobilised with a splint, she is going away to be stabled for a month or two until the break heals.
Never far away while I have the camera in my hand is Sally the Cardigan Corgi, she is about 12 now and always under my feet.
She has her own feed and water bowl but much prefers to drink with the horses, they don't seem to mind and generally ignore her anyway.
And as they say, never a show without Punch and girlchilds Papillon turns up, his name is Alex but for me he answers to Weasel, comes inside in the morning and bites my toes under the table while I have breakfast, and he's a bit too quick to receive a kick for his troubles.
There are two more dogs, a three legged Miniature Fox Terrier called Ferret and a big black thing called Bongo, Ferret was nowhere to be seen so I can only guess that she is indulging in one of her two favourite pastimes, chasing mice in the feed shed or sleeping somewhere.
Bongo is tied up after harassing the plumber who couldn't get near our home sewerage unit to fix the pump.
This is great, my first blog and my website is still not working properly.
More later
