I'm still feeling cold and blergy after yesterday. Hopefully I haven't actually got a bug or something. On the plus side, I've had a slightly bunged up ear for a week, and it is now intermittently popping clear, so maybe that will go away at least, and stop keeping me awake in the night with the noise.
No picture, because Scrapbook isn't accepting it from the LJ app. On the other hand, there's nothing terribly exciting: just the boys standing in the school, post roll, wondering if it's time to go back inside yet.
Mike wouldn't let me take the picture that I wanted to get. I declared that we really needed to empty the poo bucket by the school, on account of it only being half full with actual poo but overflowing with really hideous rainwater. Unfortunately, a good chunk of it ended up down Mike's front on the way to the compost bins. Well, his coat needed a wash anyway....
Mrs Next Door drove me to Canterbury this morning, to pick up the wheel nut thing. It was a bit exciting, as we had to keep going around flooded roads, but we got there (and back!) ok. I need to go into Canterbury myself on Monday, and the river isn't expected to go down much, so hopefully I'll be able to remember the route!
In a sunny spell between hail showers this afternoon, we rode the boys. Mike started off on the Baby but, even though his back's better than it was, we swapped over. I was feeling too pathetic to do any proper schooling, particularly as I was having to hold him back hard when he was hopping around in an incredibly bad trot, so I said "if you want to canter, you bloody well can do" and ran him around in circles for a bit instead. The poor things are incredibly bored with being shut up inside so much, but the sunny spell lasted for long enough that they could even have a nice roll without their rugs on, getting all their itchy bits nicely scratched, which I'm sure that they appreciated.
Oh, and Mike's built a small dam across the road, to try and divert the water away from our drive. It seems to be working, although I dare say it will wash away soon. TWWOTV had an actual good idea, that we just put a speed bump across the bottom of the drive. I think that might be a winning solution. She also related the fact that, in 2001, the water came half way up our front garden, so I suppose it could be worse! |
