Oh, FFS. Again.

I downloaded an (App Store) Animal Crossing update this afternoon, and when I reopened it it wanted a 50MB download in the app as well.

Must be something big, I thought. Maybe clothes crafting, which is 'coming soon'?

I checked the update log: 'minor bug fixes'. Note to self: don't download any Animal Crossing updates unless going to somewhere with mobile signal soon....

(I did manage to get the 50MB in, but over half of it was in the stableyard while we were putting the boys to bed, so it's possible that my phone got a bit of mobile data to help it out.)

In other news, Benny was a lot calmer about being in the stableyard today. I discovered that the duck's corn is also food, but it's not terribly practical to carry around in my pocket.

We took him in the school again and I had a go at lunging him. We'll have to do some re-training, because he's previously been lunged-as-exercise (start, walk a couple of circles, run until tired, stop) rather than as a way of helping his schooling, which involves far more changes of pace and stopping and re-starting, but he was very well behaved when he knew what I was asking for. Rather nervous of the whip, which didn't surprise me at all. I think he is getting a little less nervous in general, but it's going to take a while.
