Holiday...

...but not a lazy day! So many things we managed to do today.

After feeding our horses, we went to fetch a lame horse from Bjarni's big field. It got somehow caught in some wire, which wrapped itself rather firmly around one of the hindlegs. We used Bjarni's huge Pick-up and trailer. Bjössi came with us and together we caught the poor mare and put her in the trailer. When we tried to enter the car, we had to realize, that the car had locked itself with the key inside. So, what could we do? After calling Bjarni and telling him about out missery, we called the Saltvík-guardianangel aka Villi, who found the extrakey to the car and came with it. Being rescued we could continue to rescue the mare in pain. She instantly felt better when we clipped the wire and was using her foot much more than before. Now we can just hope, the wire didn't damage anything important.

After lunch I helped preparing the location for our Ladies Circle-Round Table party on Friday. Lot of work, but I really liked how it looked, when we were finished.

At home, there was more work waiting. As we are spending quite much time at work and at the stable, there is very little time left for the regular housework. We tried to catch up on that today and I think we did quite a good job. I used the opportunity to clip our Dragontree, which was already huge, reaching almost the ceiling and taking quite much daylight. Now there's just a tiny trunk left, the rest was clipped in parts and put in water to try and get roots on it.

Now it was time to have fun and visit friends, so we went to Helluland, where we had a look at Nökkvi and Sigtýr. Both are doing well and we are really looking forward to getting Sigtýr home and work a bit on his basics.

Before I forget: we got a visitor a few days ago! Our friend Linnea brought 2 friends of hers along. One of them is a very good photographer and wanted to picture a bluedunpinto. Farsæll was very happy to help out and show off a bit for the camera. Here you can see a few pics: Click!
