Still in bed here. A bit wet out, but the reopening of the pizzeria was nice. We got there early, at 6.30, and it was already packed. We got one of the last tables inside! When we left at 8.30 they were queuing in the bar. Have a good Saturday.

Hope surgery is smooth and recovery uncomplicated.

Which way are you heading? To or from UK. I find these public service announcements very intrusive. Telling me things I can work out for myself..

I know that feeling. I guess you can still do things though..just quiet things! When I had a similar type virus at the beginning of the year it took about 6 weeks to finally feel okay, and even now I still get a cough at times. Can't hurry it.

Hoping for you and everyone else that it comes to a swift end.

Weather has turned colder again so we are back to slow starts. Maybe we will get out on the bikes later, as rain predicted for tomorrow and Saturday. Nothing very exiting really but I could do with a few days like that.

Zizzi in French is the equivalent of 'willy' in English, so it always puts me off if I am in UK! Our local pizzeria reopens on Friday after it's winter shut down.

That sounds interesting. Having never experienced horses up close until we got our two, and always being really cynical of all these theories of horse human communication, I have to say I really get it now. They are just amazing non verbal communicators of emotions. Enjoy it.

Morning ORCs, from a foggy France. Farrier made it yesterday so horse feet nicely trimmed. Lottie perked up for a bit and had a cuddle on the sofa. Bit of shopping today. Really must give some attention to the garden.

Morning Guy and ORCs. Sunny here. We were going to go for a bike ride but farrier coming, after he cancelled last week. Rather worried about Lottie dog. Her nasal tumour is now bleeding a lot and yesterday she didn't look happy. She’s OK for now, but sad for her.

Morning all. What is that yellow ball in the sky I see? Had fun yesterday seeking out some old photos to scan and send to a few people. Great images..I wasn't in any of them because there was no selfie with a film camera! And a filiofax replaced the smartphone. Have a great day.

Morning SORCs. Weather uninspiring. Looks like our thermo dynamic water heater has packed up. OH will see if it can be fixed or whether it needs replacing. It's about 12 years old and older technology, so not sure if parts are available.

I love somatic yoga on Down Dog. Usually I do gentle yoga, but sometimes I force myself to do hatha or regular yoga and that can be exhausting.

Well she was certainly fit and got out of breath a bit when she did his legs..but then he is massive. She treats horses, cows, dogs, cats.

Morning all. Well Smokie absolutely loved the osteopath and was so well behaved. Of course he is totally 'broken' with problems down most of his spine and a healed fracture in his femur. What happened we will never know, but it doesn't stop him moving around! No special plans today.

We struggled to find one who would come out at first and the shires have such big feet, and they weren't cooperative! Back breaking work! We only get them trimmed.

Morning Cats and ORCs. I can relate to that cup! Farrier had to cancel at the last minute as a horse threw a shoe. Osteopath coming this morning, but not for us,.for the horses! Managed to try to sort a few of the plant pots and started thinking about veg patch! Cleaning fairy coming.

I always prefer a quick shot of GA or very heavy sedation. There are some things I don't need to experience in full.

Thing is, if you leave them another week I usually find it's still the same amount of work. Just have to train yourself not to look at them.
