After the smashed car and the lost wallet, now the lame horse. He was mucking around (which he's been told not to do) and got kicked. He says it's terribly, terribly sore, and he really can't go anywhere, though when we gave up and turned back after about 100 yards and made for home, he made a small but miraculous recovery. "I think I should just rest quietly," he said. "Plenty of food, but no work for a while. Ok?"
Not ok. He's just had a week off. Bloody animal.
So that's the third thing (I don't count the kiss). No more, please. I've only been home three days.

Oh dear - poor Titch! Well that's your three things over with now anyway and, fingers crossed, life should be plainer sailing for a while.
ReplyDeleteCan you get the kissing lady to kiss Titch's foot better?
ReplyDeleteYou have a talking horse? Surely that makes up for everything!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. I hope you're right!
ReplyDeletePatsy, Titch would hate it (although it's a sweet idea). On this kind of thing (if nothing else)we are in complete agreement.
Fran, a talking horse is a mixed blessing. Sometimes it's like arguing with a teenager.
Hello Frances - hoping your next run is a run of three good things happening for you!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Diane - it's time for three good things now!
ReplyDeleteThings can only get better...
ReplyDeleteHi, Diane. Well, I've sold some stories, which is nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Librarian. But do good things come in threes? Not sure!
Rosemary. I do hope you're right! The courtesy car has just arrived, so that's nice (I suppose...)Oh - and I've received some great pics from my son (of our holiday) and may bore everyone with those!
A German saying says, yes, good things do indeed come in threes. Therefore, if you think about it, you've probably already had at least three good things since you have returned, one of them being that the missing wallet turned up and was never really lost, only misplaced.
ReplyDeleteHi Frances, great news about selling those stories. Congrats! Hoping some of that good luck now rubs on to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Librarian. I shall cling no to the German saying!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane. Actually, I'm being very lazy and re-cyling plots that sold years ago, hoping no-one notices. It seems to be working! Good luck in your own writing.
