so continuing on!...

October 26th - after doing the horses and lunging rosco - it chucked it down! so that meant that i couldnt do much else other than sit in the house and watch tv and dvds before catching the train into work as Eleta had gone in early for a lesson. When I arrived in one of the horses had colic so eleta took Dudley away to teh vet which left me and Rebecca in charge - SCARY! so after not too many disasters we finished up and i got the train home after being stranded in perth for about 20 mins in the rain! grr!!

October 27th - Dudley was still collicy so he was left at home while me and Eleta left for work at 7.30. typically i had locked up which arrpaerntly u dont lock the gate you just drape the lock so i had locked us all out! so after creating a diversion we managed to keep people flowing in for lessons - crisis averted! taught all day and was home by 5 so was able to chill out for a while

October 28th - Day off! we had a 13yr old coming to try Rosco so got him ready and watched her try him - she wasnt quite right on him so said thanks but no thanks. clocks went fwd as well which sucked. after the girl had ridden him we put rosco out and then We got changed and went for a tour around the swan valley. so first stop was the chocolate factory - naturally! when we got there we ofund a broken window - someone was so desperate for a chocolate fix that they felt they had to brake into the choc factory! so after the choc factory we went to the winery that james worked at for some free wine tasting and then we went for a drive around to see bits and pieces - saw the state equestrian centre where james was going to be competeing the next week and then saw Bells rapids that looks very pretty - good to have a hike around. so after that we decided to get some food as olly had woken up from his nap. went to a brewery called Ferral which had some nice beers and had some lunch. then on our way to Houghtons winery, we stopped to help a broken down trailler and then continued on our way after doing the good samaritan act. Houghton was massive and had some cool art works on display. then went to Sandalford winery which was pretty and tried the wines there. not being biased but the wines from James place were a lot nicer compared to the other ones. left early as olly was going crazy so chilled out at home.

October 29th - did the horses as normal and picked the stables and cleaned some tack. then went to get an oven for their rental property with eleta and then went into work. Exercised one of the mares at the yard called flea who was lovely to ride apart from in canter - bloody thing kept trying to buck me off! stupid old polo pony! taught lessons all afternoon and then came home and fed horses and had tea.

October 30th - As everyone had the morning off (by everyone i mean me james and eleta) so we took Rosco XC training before his event next week. I packed up the float and forgot one essential item - no not the horse althought it probably will happen one day! lol no instead i forgot the girth. we had to borrow one from the yard. oops! anyway after that we came home had lunch and then i drove into work - on my own!!!!! ahhhhh!!! so taught again with cortney and we finished up and then went home.

October 31th HALLOWEEN - someone was coming to try Rosco again so we had him washed and brushed up again and then tack him up infront of her so she could see what he was like. Eleta and I had to leave half way through her trying him as we had to go into work. after a bit of a confussing situation with the cars, Eleta caught the train home and left me with the 4wd to go home in as she and James were off to a dinner where BONNY M were performing - apparently they were famous in the 80's but obviously im far too young to remember them! hehe! so after getting home after lessons grabbed some dinner and then went to bed.

November 1st - had the day off so decided after i had done the horses to get changed into something a bit more summery and went into Freo again to see what i hadnt seen so i saw the prison which was a proper working prison with prisoners and everything until 1991 which was a bit creepy and then saw the boat museum - bit boring but killed an hour or 2! saw the beach and then went home.

too hot at the moment sat in the office - will do next installment later tonight! catching up thou - aren't i good!! xxx
