Musings

Well I survived the girls night out in Cheltenham...just. Goodness young men are bold these days and I was a little offended that the doorman did not want to check my ID at the door! For the last time...wine does not agree with me! Never drinking the wicked stuff again ever! To be honest I would really have preferred the Indian restuarant and then a good dvd at home! Still it was different.Young people are so much more sophisticated and fun than older generations. This was made obvious when we were in the company of a rather egotistical 40 something male who thought rather a lot of himself and as Claire said, thought all his christmasses had come at once! Not so the youngsters out clubbing, great fun but polite with it and happy to boost our egos not theirs!

I am suffering with my back at present, I think it is one of the discs and it jolly well hurts! I have been to see my back man but think another visit is in order. The diary is full of horses to be treated and I get out of the car like quasimodo! Not a good advertisement for my business! Mind you it does therapists good to be reminded what back pain feels like and gives you more empathy with your clients, both human and animal. I think I've been reminded enough now though, so please go away.It probably didn't help teetering around Cheltenham in stilletoe heels but when one is petite (midget like) and ones friends are so tall, needs must!

Every now and then I make a comment on BD forum that causes great furore! Honestly, all I said was that they should ban hanging cheek snaffles, you'd think I'd said I was cooking horse steaks for dinner the way they reacted! We were reminiscing about the old days on the forum before it was opened up to the general public and I was Josie and there were many great characters and good debates. The banter was free flowing and the threads were so interesting not least because of a certain Bluesky who could wind up Lazarus! Today we have threads like, 'Bandages or boots?' 'every day gloves' and 'sitting trot at medium', scintillating stuff! Back then we had 'Bonfire night' courtesy Carl Hester. 'Cinderella' courtesy Gingers and 'Can I tell you a story?' Josie. Ah yes, those were the days. To be fair Yoyo does try but there is always someone who cannot see the funny side. Where has our sense of humour gone? I fear it has gone the same way as our hats!

Demonstrators against capitalism are being supported by Vivienne Westwood. Anyone else see this as ironic? Now the Germans want our pound,proof of reincarnation is that Frau Merkel does speak and have the mannerisms of a certain dictator that we squashed into submission. Hands off love, our pound is here to stay and you are not having it! If only politicians were honest the world would be a much better place. Personally I think meercats should rule the world, Simples!
