Goooood EVENING! And how are we all on this fine Monday?
I’ve had a busy day 🙂
Up bright and early for a little power walk 🙂 It’s lovely to stretch my legs on these running days off; it always feels SO good! Plus, I get to eat blackberries on the way 😛
However when I got home, I – totally randomly – felt tremendously nauseous for about 10mins. Like, for no reason. It was very odd!! But just as quickly as it came on, it left again, so I grabbed a quick breakfast. It was the epitome of a boring breakfast! Cereal and yogurt, with a little muesli sprinkle:
Imaginative? No. Tasty? Heck yes! And it only took 10mins to eat (plus an apple), which was good cos I had the vet coming.
No need to panic though 😀 He was just here to stab jab the horses (for flu), and do their teeth. FYI, non-horsey readers, horses teeth keep on growing as they age – they never stop. In the wild, all the roughage they eat wears their teeth down, but precious lil domesticated horses don’t have such groovy diets, so we have to get the dentist or vet out to rasp them 🙂 Sounds violent (and looks it!) but it’s ok 🙂 Besides – my sister and I love having the vet over, cos he is HOT!
Carter was a div though – he caught a vole, then proceeded to torture it and run about under the vet’s feet chasing it, having a great time. It was sad to see 😦
After the vet had been and gone, I set off for work. Whilst in town just before, I bought a delicious soya cappuccino <- I actually think I’m becoming addicted 😛 I love them! I also saw this Indian bloke (not Indian as in ‘from India’, but Indian as in ‘Hello, my name is Dances With Wolves [love that film!]’…I’m ignorant and don’t know the correct term, so please no-one take offence!! *EDIT* Native Americans! Thankyou Little Bookworm :)) playing great music in the street, so I bought his cd 😀
Lunch at work –
Roast mixed veggies (2 types of squash, carrot, parsnip, leek):
Lentils:
Salsa:
SO scrummy!!! I had to eat it real quick though; there was ton of steaming and hanging to do today….joy.
When I got home, I was getting rather haaaangry, so I chowed down quickly on Bear granola nibbles with yogurt:
Amaze. Except the little freeze dried pink bits. I HATE freeze dried fruit!! Anyone else with me!?
Question – now, before I forget, when I’m in the US running my marathon at the end of October, I won’t be able to blog (I don’t think..you never know). Sooo I was wondering if anyone wanted to do a guest post? I’ll probably need quite a few (I’ll be gone for 8days), so if you’re interested, leave me a comment on this post 🙂

Ooooh – I’ll show you some of the pictures I took the other day now! I hope y’all like them 🙂 I was meant to edit some of them to make them better, but…well, I can’t be bothered :p so, in all their un-altered glory, here they are!
I took some flower ones too, but I won’t post them – I find flowers pretty dull sometimes…plus this post will probably crash my computer anyway :p
Have a good evening!
Ahhhh, I’m dying at your cute puppy pictures! She is such a doll!
Baxter wants to know if she has a boyfriend? 🙂
She’s free, single and ready to mingle :p
CHIKA! ❤ so cute! love her 🙂 And Poppy is adorable ,as always . I wish I actually had something to guest post about, cause that would be so fun! But I really have no idea what I would write about :p
I hate seeing the horses get their teeth rasped! It scares me and looks like it hurts, even if I know it doesn't! :p
have a good evening 🙂
It is quite..dramatic..to watch the first time, that’s true! Fasinating though 🙂
Poppy is totally a doggy model – way more photogenic than me. Yup, can’t reconcile myself to the pink bits in the Bear Granola, either. Actually had to stop buying it for a bit, though, as was getting too addicted! Jx
Me too!!! I’ve had to majorly limit my consumption :p that stuff sure ain’t cheap!
I’d love to do a guest post! 😀
I know what you mean about the horses having their teeth done – it does look a little…odd.
Love the photos at the end of your post – they are stunning!
Hope you have a good evening! 😀
Yay! I shall email you a bit nearer the time 🙂
Beautiful photos!!! Very well done. 🙂
Thank you!
I’d gladly do a guest post for you. Drop me a line anytime!
I’ll email you when the time is a bit nearer 🙂
Hey- I love those pink bits in the granola- not the best part but they are nice in yoghurt as they soak it up a bit and go all chewy.
I would love to do a guest post, not sure what about? – Probably running related? Sounds like fun anyhoo- let me know
🙂
Hooray! I’ll contact you a bit nearer the time 🙂
You take such beautiful photos- bravo!
It is always (for me) uncomfortable to watch the vet poke and prod at my little dog, and he isn’t even attractive. You certainly lucked out there! 🙂
Heck yes 😛 seriously, this vet is a thing of beauty!!
BEAUTIFUL pics! Wow that is amazing. I’m also partial to the Jack Russell, I have one too:)
They are crazy craxy balls of energy!
I know you’ve had loads of offers…! But would love to do a guest post if you’re short 🙂
Did the dentist use the gag/clamp thing? It always makes me wonder what’s going through their minds when they let it go on – even though it doesn’t hurt or anything, they must wonder why their mouths are being opened and some random person is scraping their teeth!
I’ll add you to my list 🙂
Yep the gag thing was used! So scary looking :s
You’re so lucky to be surrounded with such cute animals! I especially love the one of your cat with his tongue sticking out, ahah so cute!
I would love to do a guest post for you! Though I guess that all depends on what kind of content you were looking for?
Any kind 🙂 you can gladly do one!
I would LOVE to do a guest post for you lovely lady! 🙂
And you just gave me a craving for lentils… random!
Yay! You’re on the list 😀
If you bring your laptop to the US, you can blog because there is free internet in Starbucks and Caribou coffee (another coffee shop) which are located all throughout the DC metro area. So you might be able to blog!!
ooh thanks for the tip!
pshaw, edit them to make them better? They are beautiful as-is, no need for editing here! I just about MELTED at that priceless, absolutely precious shot of Poppy staring up at you with her big softy eyes. You can tell she loves you!!
That’s my favourite one 😀
SALSAAAAAAAAA! I’m going through a salsa phase right now. TOTALLY goes with everything.
Beautiful animals! x
such a cute doggy! and some gorgeous sunshine too 🙂
xo
I’d love to do a guest post!! Eeek your marathon is coming up so soon, you must be so excited!! I just wish DC were closer so we could do a meetup!
I love all the animal pics at the end of this post- so peaceful! Makes me wish home and my own pets
Hope you have a wonderful day love!!
Weeelll if you’re in London this January!? 🙂
I’ll email you about the guest post 😀 thank you for offering!
I’d love to do a guest post! Send me a note if you’re interested!
Love your blog!
xo

I’ll email you nearer the time 🙂
HATE HATE HATE freeze dried berries-they taste like dust. Astronauts eat them in space-maybe you could imagine you’re an Astronaut as well to get through the yukness 🙂
I think it’d be cool to have a guest blog from your sis and mom when you’re in America. It would be awesome to their reflections on your lifestyle.
My mum willl be with me, and my sister will be travelling on her gap year – impossible! good suggestion though 😀
Ah shame
