Monday viewed Sheffield Uni with youngest boy & friend. Tuesday took yellow horse to Vet 40 miles away. Inconclusive, treating with anti-inflammatory for 5 days then must phone (doubtless this means a further journey with him). Wednesday national Caravan Show in Hull (about 60 miles) and tour round to look at a small horse lorry (what an extravagance that would be...). Thursday and unsurprisingly have migraine, tired eyes and struggling to stay awake at work.
Rode the yellow horse last night after two doses of medication and he seems sound, will try again tonight. Had to bring the pups to work today so that they are not home alone. They are a nightmare in the car, just want to sit on your knee, but penned in the back they are sick everywhere. So, choice of battling to keep them in passenger footwell, or clearing up little piles of sick in boot.
Water is leaking on the car park at the salt mines. Poor Hugh is pick-axing through the road surface to try and find the guilty pipe, every time he thinks he's closer the flow of water shifts further under the tarmac. Problems, problems.
Big boy now counting down to departure (20th September). Dentist tomorrow, rail card has arrived, Student Union application came today. He has consented to shop with me on my next day off (Tuesday) so that I can enjoy a coffee and lunch with him (just the two of us) before he goes, and he can, in exchange, enjoy spending my money on new shoes and trainers for Uni. Some powerful blackmailing techniques were utilised to achieve this projected day out, the Armed Forces could learn much from me!

Wow, that is one busy/rough week. Here's hoping Friday is better - that at least your migraine is gone and your eyes are recuperated...
Glad to hear the yellow horse is responding to treatment!
tried twice to comment here. First time it said I had to sign in to my account, so I lost the first comment. Second time, it was a Blogger error. Grr.
How about trying Rescue Remedy prior to car rides? (the pups, not you!)
It turns out that if they sit in the back of the estate car the brown dog travels fine. The little black dog lays around the neck until she can creep onto the knee. No sickness involved! Might try the rescue remedy, I have seen it on the shelves. Hoping spot well and keeping you entertained.
