Mamma Mia! perfect cure for stress!

Last night went to see Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia and laughed to tears! Laughter therapy guaranteed every time. So tongue in cheek and OTT you have to admire cast courage. Go and see it, highly recommend both as a trip down memory lane, and provision of feel-good factor. Campers all rushing to beach this morning to enjoy sunshine and pleasant lack of bracing gale force wind. Therefore all quiet at the salt mine, so I can search eBay for at least one pair of Meryl Streep's very flattering dungarees - the next 'must have' fashion item methinks, and you saw me in them first! News on yella horse - friend sprayed him with cattle bug repellant, which has had immediate and beneficial effects. The showery weather has meant that horse has got wet and dry at least 5 times a day in the last two days. To combat that itchy wet/drying feeling he has absolutely and completely rolled his whole body from ears to tail in mud puddles up and down his field and now looks like a happy rhino. I almost don't have the heart to brush it all out of his hair. He is recoloured mud brown. Try to get a photo tonight. Youngest son working hard now at summer job on local waterway - assisting visitors to fall in, make fools of themselves, and generally struggle in rowing boats. Eldest son desperate for end of term this week, he's having the camping party to celebrate finishing lower sixth academic year, then knuckling down to marketing and selling some of his poultry in preparation for his final A level year. Now he's a driver feeding and cleaning out poultry in every spare minute seems to have lost some of its attraction; so less feathered birds might mean time for the other kind of bird...

Glad that Skipper is getting some hat-free relief!
