Good day! Rode this morning and Ted was, TBH, a little nappy and silly but after not being out around the farm for 1 day shy of 2 weeks he couldn't really be blamed. Not 100% sure about my saddle if I am completely honest. It is VERY flat and VERY without support, so I am certainly going to go for a different design when the time comes to change it. I should have listened to Claire about stirrup leather lengths and gone for longer too, as even on the first hole they are very short - lesson learnt.
Took J for his MRI scan and then we went to Hatherop sports day. Sadly we missed every one of Benjy's events bar the tug of war, in which he was awesome and they won their battles so that was good. Great cake too! I must put more time into meeting up with the mothers there as there are some really nice characters that I am sure I will enjoy spending time with.
Bit of trouble in the village again tonight when a stone came flying past my head. I ran round to the playing field and the usual suspects were playing footie in the court. They all denied throwing anything and I couldn't see anyone else who could have done it. Fact is one of them prob just hurled a stone out, but it is the lying that pisses me off. It isn't the first time we have had things thrown into the garden and J has had enough, he is very worked up about it which really isn't helpful...
Been thinking today about the future lots. Money is running out and it is time to really settle with some ongoing future plans about what we want and need for our family. I know I need to start writing again, but I don't seem to start even though I am bursting with ideas. The boys are very, very enthusiastic about my stories of Flumpalump and Matilda (don't laugh) but what if everyone else thinks they suck? And I have had a great synopsis for an adult book brewing in my head, but again, I cannot face failure. I don't know why age starts to make you worried about acceptance, I certainly never used to give a flying monkey's arse whether or not people thought what I wrote was good, but now I really do. I am also feeling inherently lazy, which doesn't help. But something HAS to give an I owe it to us all to at least try I supppose.
Half term begins today, boo hiss and yay rolled into one. Jamie's family are over on Tuesday, so I want to ensure the house is 100% perfect for that as I know he cares (as do I, I have had enough critisism to last me a lifetime). Amanda's on Friday and Mrs P is coming too. She and her hubby are Benj's absent godparents, so that will be a little tricky. I really have nothing to say to her anymore as I am afraid I do hurt that she hasn't ever bothered to send him a card on his birthday or at Christmas since we moved here.
There we go, running out of battery, being eaten alive by midges, time to go in. God I sound boring!
