...the sweet hay smell of horses, or the pleasure derived from being
nuzzled by one.
They make that whinny that tells you they are glad to see you, and "have
you got anything for me in your pocket."
They can quickly make you forget the minus temperatures and the
wheelbarrow that needs to be trudged back to the dung heap.
The sun is shining here in Dorset.
Make it shine where you are.

Minus 11 yesterday, minus 9 today, and I'll take another gallop round
the park after lunch, but I'm dreading the thaw!
Clear blue sky today, and I'm contemplating the shock Sue and Steve will
have when they arrive back from their holiday in Egypt at 04:05
tomorrow, assuming that flights are on schedule.

Any idea who won the darts last night?

Good morning, Bobbie. It is snowing lightly here. I lingered in
bed, reading. I now (or soon) need to decide whether my desire to
accomplish things elsewhere outweighs my aversion to driving on
slippery roads.

Chuckle. I'm up super early just as the dawn chorus is starting. I've had
my coffee and toast and I'm just wondering if I'll finish reading here and
then climb back into the sack, or if I'll start dragging hoses around. I
think it might be the sack as I don't know where Himself watered last night
and I'd hate to disrupt his careful timetable and rotation round the garden.

There's also nothing like having two cats purring in your lap, even if they
do weigh about 15 pounds apiece. Today is the first time that has ever
happened. Usually, if Waffles is in my lap and Pickles tries to come up, he
gives her a look and she goes away. If Pickles is in my lap and Waffles
comes up, they both get down. Today after my lunch, Waffles was in my lap.
Pickles came up, laid down and started washing Waffles' neck. He went on
purring. After a bit, she just settled down and started purring too. They
must have stayed like that for about 10 minutes. Then Waffles decided to
climb on Pickles and bite her neck. After a minute or two of that, they
both got down. Still, heavy as they are, it was lovely to have them both
there.

Yes, one or the other has been known to stay on my lap for two hours, if I
sit there that long. My legs usually go to sleep. If both of them spent
that long on my lap, I probably wouldn't be able to walk at all. ;-)
