Oh dear sorry in advance but this is just an outright flipping moan
I have this week off, and had loads of great plans to get my youngster ridden every day. Having moaned for the last year about having nowhere safe to ride, having to hire schools all the time, etc etc, I have FINALLY got an agreement with a local yard with a great school. She got ridden for 4 days in a row last week, almost unheard of, and it was going great! On Saturday it was really hot, so she was beautifully subdued
Anyway we then went away for a few days up to the west coast. The weather there was cr@p so not only was I not riding but I was pretty much stuck inside. I got home last night to torrential rain and howling winds, so no riding.
Today it has been dry but mega windy all day, you know the sort of thing, bird feeders are flying horizontally, my washing is drying in about 20 seconds, that sort of thing. So once again no riding (she's way too sharp to be daft about these things
) and it's now THURSDAY NIGHT.
AAAHHHHHHH.
I have only one more "official" day off, then it's the weekend, then back to work on Monday. Today I have done 3 loads of washing, and spent time planning my new kitchen etc, but that's it. I'm now bouncing off the walls with lack of exercise plus lack of progress with my horse, and already letting myself feel stressed about going to work again next week.
Oh pants and double pants. I'm in a bad mood and a half. And to top it all of, just realised the forecast is for rain for the rest of the week, and I need to go to the supermarket.
Sorry - you were warned about the self-indulgent nature of this post! Feel free to join in with my insane witterings
