New things and Improvements

Flint wondering if this is his new stable

The long road ahead

Trot on Stinky Ben!

Well, quite a lot has happened during these last few days. Glory-be and Melody have gone off on their holidays, for no-grass (winter) to “winter in”. They've told me that they both hope to lose a few pounds while they're away. Between you and me they need to lose a few stone. Not that I have any room to talk! I'm not as broad as I once was, but even I must admit there is still room for improvement. The gentle exercise over the green-grass (summer) has worked a treat for me and even my hacking companion, Stinky Ben, has noticed a difference in his dimensions.

On one of the very scarce days that it wasn't raining in Fermanagh Two-legs brought me in to “fit me out” in my nice new shiny red rain-coat. I looked at her as if she were mad. “But it's dry and it's roasting! 15 degrees for goodness sake!” not that Two-legs was listening. She was just impressed by the fact that I actually fitted into my new coat. “Of-course it fits! You've had me and that poor dog traipse the roads all summer long in the wind and the rain!” I had to mollify myself by munching on the nice new haylage that was brought in a nice new shiny green hay net.

There's a nice new stable being built, but I see that they've been using my nice new pink water bucket for their cement...not at all impressed. It's well seeing that they don't intend to drink from it later! Humph!
