Today I feel a little weary but in love with the animals I’m minding this week. ♥�♥�♥�♥�
The horse is such a character ~ I just adore her!
We spend a lot of the daylight hours together and she’s a real snuggler … though she’s not a fan of having her eyes swabbed ~ but with a little gentle coaxing she grins and bears it.
A few livestock but they tend themselves ~ the weather has been and continues to be attricious! Someone came along and swapped Oz out for Britain 🇬🇧 lol 😂 it’s cold & wet & very green atm.

In the morning and early afternoon the farm across the road let’s their horses, about 8 - 10 of them roam in the pasture directly across from me. There’s a magnificent grey one that stands out. Our dog loves watching them from the fence line nearest them.
It’s going o be a windy day Saturday. Up to 50 mph (80 kph). That should knock down whatever leaves are remaining, mainly on the old white oak and the young walnut tree. The old walnut lost its leaves during the rains we had last weekend.

Feeling much better today, thanks for the kind words.
I had a big shock last night. I had to contact the daughter in law of my cousin Pam who I messaged via the FB page of said cousin's brother. When she replied she told me that Pam and her husband, Tony, both died last year!! And no-one told us. I've known Pam all my life. She was 14 years older than me. She dandled me on her knee when I was very small (she was a nursery nurse when I first remember knowing her) and I was one of her bridesmaids. She was a lovely, kind, caring woman and my sister and I loved her very much. I can't believe that no-one told us. Her brother has my email and home address and probably my phone number as well. As did Pam and Tony. I would have thought that one of her sons would have found our details and let us know. I knew that Pam had symptoms of dementia as she didn't really know who we were when we last visited, but I'm still in shock.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Like a multi-part couch that can be configured in various ways?
You two will have fun with that; happy new furniture!

I'm so sorry for your loss, Io. 
started my annual gig with the state legislature. One quick hour of picking up work-from-home equipment and then they put me right to work, proofreading bills.
I'm getting used to the 6:30am alarm, I guess, but it still sucks.

Well, I'm back. 
Finally went live on Wednesday with a big client project that's been a pain in my ass for the last 6 months (and only 6 weeks behind schedule (they changed spec half-way through naturally)) so of course yesterday was managing Day 1 issues.
Everything actually looking good now though, not too many teething troubles.
Still a couple of big internal projects to finalise, but apart from that should be fairly easy for the rest of the year. (Except for Black Friday, but most of that is not my problem.)
