Sweet FA.........Saturday

[f_s_]

Thanks Mrs M. You know when you just need someone else to tell you that you're not being unreasonable, awkward or off your head? Well, I needed that, thankies!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Thankies!!

Large Pimms all round for those who want!!

So it sounds like everyone has had a nice day (except for honeypots is hack!! make full use of your colourful language next time you see her!!

)

 

[Honeypots]

Samstar is due home soon..I'm sure she'll want to say hi

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Coolio!!

 

[f_s_]

Oh cool!!! Get her to come online!!!

More wine anyone?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

*holds glass out*

Thankies.....

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Anyone for an ice cream?

- I have Magnums if your interested....

 

[MrsMozart]

ooooh yes - please

 

[f_s_]

Magnum would be lovely thanks

Anyone for some wine gums...go with the wine!!!

So what's everyone doing tomorrow then?

 

[MrsMozart]

ferro roches are round here somewhere...

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Magnums on their way....

Well I'm up early to ride my boy first - then going to get my girl in so I can ride her and my neice can - she is doing the work and trot test on her at the show next week. The kids are then practising for the show so my sister and I will be running around putting up jumps etc and reading tests for them.

After all of that - if it is nice and hot and sunny I will give mine a bath - the show is next sunday so prelim washes on the really grimy bits needed - we have 4 greys between us!!

3 with grey tails that need to be sparkly white!!

My coblet has a huge black tail but her white feather need a prelim wash so they are all sparkly and fluffy for next week.

Walk dogs etc and then sit in the garden and drink wine/Pimms until I fall over or asleep - which ever comes first.....

 

[f_s_]

So, I'm thinking of taking an evening course, one night a week at the local college.

Anyone got any ideas on something I could do? Not too heavy but useful perhaps?

Thinking caps on!!!!

 

[f_s_]

Ferro Rocher wouldn't last two seconds if they were anywhere near me Mrs M!!!!!

Slinky - sounds like you've got a busy day!! Good fun though, and I hope your nieces have a great time

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Cocktail making......

What sort of thing do you fancy? Something practical like aromatherapy or floristry or something you need more brain power for like another language??

 

[f_s_]

That's the problem!

Sort of something I have to use a little brain power for (I think there's little bit left in there somewhere!!!) but nice.

Thinking along the lines of something arty, but not art as such.

I like the idea of aromatherapy!! or cocktail making!!!

People will really think I'm an old

then!!!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

How about something like upholstery?

I did it for a while - very therapeutic banging in tacks and you end up with a some nice bits of furniture in your house - I have one huuuuge footstool, 2 armchairs, 1 sofa, and a Lloyd Loom chair seat with a matching blanket box that I did.

Or floristry (always quite fancied that myself), aromatherapy, massage, cookery.....

 

[f_s_]

I like that idea!! Don't think I'd do the cookery though....would look like the dog's dinner! In fact, the dog's dinner would look better!!!

I think I'm going to look at the aromatherapy, I really like the sound of that. Do they teach you what the plants are for (healing wise) and not just how they smell?

Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but all my qualifications are academic!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

To be honest I have no idea - I quite fancy doing it myself at some time though. I'm sure they would talk through the different plants and their effects - you would have to know to get the right combinations/best effects. That and homeopathy really interest me as when you use stuff like that on animals it does work - and I use it on me!! Due to my work I have a healthy disregard for doctors and conventional medicine - all these things have their place.

 

[f_s_]

This is beginning to sound really interesting. OH says I should do some sort of course that I'd enjoy. (when I went to school/uni etc it had to be academic, I wasn't trying to sound pompous!!)

I'd love to do something that could ease and help, it would be wonderful.

I'm off to see if they do a course now....back in a min!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

It was the same with me

- did the whole O/A level and Uni stuff - and still do brainy science stuff for work - but as I am a bit of a hippy I do lots of reading/research etc into natural remedies etc as I think anything that can benefit me, my animals etc is worth while - hence I bang on about aloe vera, arinica, Manuka honey etc etc.

The aromatherapy course I have looked at is a year long and doesn't start until September......

 

[MrsMozart]

well m'dears, i'm orrrffff to the land of sleep.am old and haggard and need all the helps i can get

sweet dreams and snore gentlies

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Night MrsM!! Hope you are mending slowly and its not hurting as much!

Sweet dreams!!!

 

[f_s_]

Night Mrs M

Slinky - I think a year long course would give you a good knowledge though. I've always been interested in alternative and natural treatments ( I must have hippy tendencies too!!!)

Think the ones at our college don't start until september either, looking at the site.

I'll keep looking, as it's something I think you can gain an awful lot from.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I'm planning to sign up for Sept - in the meantime I have a couple of interesting books to mooch through!!

 

[f_s_]

I'm putting the kettle on...anyone for a cuppa??

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

O that would be lovely thankies!!

Then I'm off to my bed.....
