It was still raining very lightly this morning while I sat in the open doorway with my coffee. As the sky began to lighten I watched great flocks of birds above me swirling about in the wind. The waves rolled back and forth creating a deep soothing sound and behind me I could hear the high pitched twittering of a flock of sparrows in my neighbour's garden. A good start to the day.
Down at the stables I found I had the lovely Tex again. ('Scuse the muddy walls of the stall.) The horses spend most of their time in the fields and you can see by the state of his rug which I had put on him as he was all sweaty, that Tex enjoys a good roll in the mud. I got myself very muddy just doing up the tummy straps.
There were five of us in the lesson and we worked again on leg yielding which Tex is fine with. There was no evading anything I asked him to do which he can do sometimes. I worked on getting him to bend his neck to get on the bridle which he doesn't really understand at the moment. That's something to carry on with.
It began to rain as I drove out of the stable yard getting heavier as I drove along. My first stop was at the Hahav (hospice care at home) warehouse to donate some items. I parked near the door but as I got out of the car there was a veritable cloudburst including hail and in a moment my coat was running with water. I stayed inside the warehouse making sure the rain had eased before I went back out again. Somebody in there has a great sense of humour when writing descriptions of the furniture for sale. There were two bookcases one on top of the other. The sign on the first one said 'Compact Bookcase' while the sign on the slightly larger one said 'Less Compact Bookcase'.
When I parked at Morrisons there was a tap on the window and a nice chap let me know that one of my hubcaps was very loose. Not surprise after bouncing along the potholed track to and from the stables. The hubcaps are secured with cable ties so I just gave the loose one a kick to click it back into place.
By the time I had finished my shopping in Lidl and town the sun was shining and there was hardly a cloud to be seen.
On my way home I seized the opportunity to take a few photos from the top of the hill above Borth. This short stretch of road is known locally as the Borth Motorway. Back when Britain was still part of the EU there was EU funding to re-do the road. But it had to be this wide to qualify. The rest of the road to Clarach and town is considerably narrower.
Once the shopping was unpacked and the washing in the machine I spent a restful hour with my feet up and a large mug of tea. That's another busy Friday over.
