Had to persuade my dad to come and pick me up and take me to the yard for my lesson at lunchtime today (the joys of study leave 
) as mum away and cycling is difficult with a saddle on the handlebars 
Got to yard, brought in, tacked up etc. Got on to warm up (my RI always says it's best if I can get on 10-15mins before, as he's always silly for the first few mins and doesn't concentrate so not really worth her trying to teach!) feeling smug as I'm normally in a complete rush and am usually just going into the school as she pulls into the yard
Cash warmed up very well...RI is now 5 mins late...10mins late..then 20..til finally she is 40 mins late..
I get out my phone to ring her, absent mindedly look at the date on my phone- can you guess? Yep, my lesson is tomorrow....what an idiot!!
Poor Cash a bit bored by now, so I put up a jump to finish off. I'm just fumbling around with poles and holding onto him when I see, out of the corner of my eye, him casually put his head down and eat a piece of rubber from the school Cue lots of squeaking from me, I undo his flash and stick my hand in his mouth to pull it out. It comes out intact, he looks a bit taken aback but is fine.. Phew. I then get back on, he spooks at a pigeon and I pull/twist/strain/do something to a muscle on the inside of my thigh, so to top it all off I'm now walking like John Wayne.
Oh and dad didn't realise I needed a lift back too, so walked 3 miles home with the saddle
Sorry, rant over. Bit of a rubbish day so far.
