Only A Carrot!

Yes - that's all he has had this morning - one carrot ... and a cuddle!

As I walked towards his field, the heavens opened, and combined with the wind we already had, it wasn't the nicest of walks!  As I got to him, my phone rang - Toni - saying that she didn't want to ride ... so I gave DJ his carrot and a cuddle - and walked back to the house to dry and have a coffee!

I have just got back - and the rain is easing, but the wind isn't - so, DJ will have a good day in his field .... chasing his tail - or Conrad's if that gets boring!

Countdown MEME

Seeing as I am back earlier than planned - and haven't ridden, I thought I would fill up that time constructively ... yes, I'm doing The Countdown MEME that I have seen first on rivertempest , and then on dawnofme  and mabel_marsters  LJs

Hope you are all having a good day out there in your section of the world

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's !


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

366 MEME - Day 194 - Bude ... Again!

... And, what a difference a day makes! It has, just, stopped raining - so I popped out to the bank - and on the way through the town I just took this picture - typical town that has been changed into a shopping area - but also left as it was!!
