Changes in Life



Sorry about my lack of blogging lately.

Since the demise of my beloved mare last August, I can honestly say I still really do miss her, and also just not having a horse in my life, is weird. I rented fields, so at the moment its tenuous, as I do not feel entirely secure in pursuing another equine, with a long term secured environment future, but I am still looking. My heart attack last year put a real damper on things in general, dying really does make you feel very mortal, and as I'm an Eeyore in life's Winnie the Pooh's adventures, it did nothing to lighten the mood!!, So when I found I was wheat intolerant, which sucks if your'e already a vegetarian(I do eat fish,eggs) it pulled another sigh from the Eeyore in me, being told I was probably Fibromyalgic as well, another blast. It explained a few things, it is not life threatening although can be painful, and you just have to pace yourself, whoopee... that was sarcasm. But the Good News is I'm finally getting the lounge done at last. It had a lot of problems, so we had to go back to the bare walls and replaster, and a miriad of other different other jobs to boot, its still work in progress and while its going on, we are sharing a bar stool and an office chair between us, with Prince's bed in the tiny kitchen. Theres no access to my art supplies except for a jar full of brushes I kept out, with a few watercolours, which was fortunate as The Aceo group on Ebay are in the process of completing another playing card set, which I got in on again, the Jack of Diamonds was my card. He ended up as a Jack Rabbit as you can see. Mark is in workman mode, so I had to take a picture, he was so engrossed he didn't even notice.
