Hurray!!!! I can see the the bottom of my freezer

My new challenge, Holly

Hello my dear reader(s),

I hope you missed me as much as I missed you. I am not sure whether I am back for good but I thought "Hey, since I ran out of Nytol and am therefore unable to find sleep, let's leave this silly academic essay I have been attempting to put together for the past three days (I have been shortlisted for a Foundation Degree in Paramedic Science)and move on to the blog, which is, to be truthful, far more exciting than selling the virtues and the cost-effectiveness of Paramedic skills..."

I have also been very lucky to find myself on annual leave this week. I managed to employ the other half to defrost what looked like a glacier in the North Pole, I mean the freezer of course! Oh my, we found a lot of interesting stuff! I am however very disappointed not to have dug the Ice Man out of the snow. Maybe next time if I leave it for another five years of so...

Anyway... life has been very exciting lately, in fact so exciting I never found time to blog this excitement. Lots of dog walking, mainly with Aimee and Mr Bojangles. I shall introduce them to you at a later date. My social life has been, well, very social... Many delights were eaten and drunk. No change then.

The big news is that my dear friend Julie has finally left good ole Oireland for England! She landed a top job in the City of London and resides in Notting Hill no less!! Good luck to the girl, she deserves the best life can offer.

On the horsey front, my instructor Jen recently introduced me to a new mare called Holly. She is a (scrawny, through lack of muscle and young age!) black five year old 15hh Cob. From schoolmaster Guinness to a youngster!!

What a refreshing change to school such a novice horse! We are still working on encouraging her to take the rein contact (we're getting there...) and I am supposed to take her on a dressage competition next week. Not that I expect to win but the feedback from the judges will be incredibly helpful for future sessions! Oh! I nearly forgot: Jen nominated me this month as "Rider of the Month". Maybe I have actually impressed the lady after all, who knows?

Last but not least, do not forget to sponsor me and my horsey!!!!!

Lots of love,
Kermit x
