I'm Buggered

Started out my day at 5:30am checking all the commotion outside thinking someone must be out of a paddock with the sheer volume of the pounding hooves. They sounded so bloody close. Turns out it was just Molly and Saffy sorting out the pecking order, and Dumpy haring around his adjacent large yard/small paddock in response. Binky and Jack were also racing up and down their communal fenceline making fierce looks and gestures at each other, but everyon was where they should be, and otherwise fine.
I gave those in the yards hay, and came online briefly, cleared lastnights emails, mostly re Jack, then went out to bring Crystal in from out the back at Don's, taking Saffy out in her place. Mouse and Whisper went out into the hill paddock for the day, and hubby took Darky out the back and brought Bronson in. the days hardfeed was made up, everyone fed breakfast.
I trimmed Crystal's hooves, then a mate showed up with her big black beauty, recently off the track, but having spent long enough fattening up in a grassy paddock to have fattened up and look stunning. Only her third time on his back, and she came on him, I rode Bronson, and a friend of hers rode my Crystal out along the beach, up through the forest and the dunes and back along the beach home. Quite a few offroad motorcycles and quads out in the dunes, but the boys were impeccably behaved despite being somewhat worried. Crystal was her usual lazy unenthused self.
My mate rode Bramble before she left, who proved what a little toerag she can be by behaving herself as soon as she realised she had an actual rider on her back, rather than a hopeless kid, so we'll have to see how she goes as we bring her back into work.
I trimmed Molly's feet and washed and iodined a bit of rainscald on her back. She was an angel to trim, and with any luck will be as good when I saddle her up.
Went and checked Megan, Indi, and Toby up the road, as I am checking Megan every day for signs she is waxing up. She is due more or less any time now.
Came home, had dinner early, went and lunged Poppy, fed everyone again, brought Whisper and Mouse in for the night, and I am now about ready for bed. Tomorrow is my "easy" day as I go to town and do a morning at the Salvation Army in the kitchen preparing a lunch meal, and while everyone here still needs to be fed, only Poppy will be worked, and I'll do that in the evening.
I'm off to bed now to swot up on the rules questions for the oral part of the licensing test I hopefully will get to do on Thursday. I still have to work out how the hell I can manage to get my oldest daughter to Pony Club on Sunday afternoon, given that Poppy will probably race early in the afternoon. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it maybe, I'm sure we can work something out. At least being this busy I'm keeping out of trouble ;)
