Yesterday, I:

Learned how to turn up the brightness on my icons. One day, they will reach the dizzying heights of "mediocre"!

In the meantime, this is Uma Thurman in My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Love her as I do.

Touched a very small horse (not in a creepy way)

Ordered that pen

Went on a walk with my sister, mother, grandmother and nephew. Which might be more properly called a hike. Or even a trek.

We started off just around the field up the hill, where we normally go. Then someone decided we should stay out a bit longer, and wander down the wild, rock-spattered road we used to go down when we were young and trying to walk off Sunday dinners. We lost sight of civilisation somewhere in the first ten minutes. I don't think the local sewage works counts. I had to stay at the back with my doddering old grandmother, pushing the pushchair to keep herself upright, while she gasped and told how she wasn't fit anymore, and she'd be dead quite soon. Halfway down/up the track, mum remembered a friend of hers lived up it who kept 'wild, vicious dogs' which she let roam loose sometimes, so I had to silently devise contingency plans for both sacrificing myself for Jack, and getting him out of there, since I was probably the fastest. After making it past them, my sister eventually led us down a leafy, manure-strewn "exit" path, through some bushes, over a stream, and under a mystery tunnel, from whence it was just a fifteen minute walk down a main road before we got home. Where I fell down. And had cake. All's well that ends with cake.

Watched the rest of the third disk of Veronica Mars, so I could start the last tonight. Even though the last episode of disk three stuck and stuck and stuck, and made me want to weep, and I'm now slightly terrified all the other episodes will do the same. And I will never know the truth and beauty of it. I comfort myself with the fact that the rest of the episodes played unto perfection, and hope. Against hope. Also: the show is slightly gay. Slightly really gay. Omg.

Did not have to work. Which was not the case today!

Small horses are great. I have to laugh at them a bit because they seem so inappropriate. And what an exciting walk you had. I'm glad you neither sacrificed yourself nor let the child get eaten. I think you behaved very winningly.

It was so tiny! I thought it was a foal, but no. Fit only for munchkins to ride. Omg.

The walk was perilous and alarming, but I think I acquitted myself admirably. Hurrah. Are you coming to

connotations?

Oh I keep forgetting about Connotations. I do very much want to but the prudent thing is to say 'no', and then to cry a bit. I don't think I can afford the hotel essentially.

:(

We will send you photos and pretend you are there.

*Brave Face*

I'm sure that will be ALMOST AS GOOD.
