Ickle foal

Oh come on, he's pretty cute!  TallGirl had riding all day today, so an early start to get lunch packed up for her.  Into town then to buy something for dinner, since I seem to have missed that off yesterday's errand list.

The rest of the day was mostly gardening.  I set out with my plan to garden all day because (a) it needs doing, and (b) it was deliciously cool and cloudy this morning.  Of course, by the time tidying up from yesterday's slothfulness had been done, it was about 35 degrees.  But, a plan is a plan so some poor innocent plants were moved in entirely the wrong conditions, but to a place where they will - if they survive - be much happier.  Some tidying and lots of rests in the cool, cool house, and that was the day.

The foal up at the stables is growing well and it is a total sweetie - normally (I'm told) they bite, but this one was licking TallGirl's face.  He's losing his baby fur early (like on his legs) because it's so hot.

Later, a long WestWing session due to Mr B being too tired to object.  With lots of pauses for explanations of things.  We decided that the West Wing would be a perfectly acceptable curriculum for home schooling. Anyone for West Wing school?
