My routine for the day

Tweet

While I’ve been house-sitting, I’ve been getting up at about 7.15am and heading out to give the three horses their hay-nets. The last few mornings have been very foggy and I managed to get a photo of the horses coming home through the fog. I put it up on a previous post. Sometimes the horses are waiting for me but if not, they hear the big shed door sliding open and they start heading home. The old grey mare is often a bit late coming for hers. I have a routine in the mornings. I give Dixie, the border collie, her kibble, then take the horses their hay-nets. There are six nets and I bring back the empty ones from the trees and refill them ready for next morning. I bring back a handful of oat heads to give to Jimmy, the cockatoo. Then I head inside to make coffee. Jimmy gets a corner of toast and Vegemite after our breakfast, then two almonds and a piece of gingernut biscuit for morning tea. Dixie gets meat and a big bone in the evening and Jimmy gets a handful of linseed seeds. I also take him some thistle at some time during the day. I’ll attempt to put up a photo of the view we had from the top of a hill where we took Dixie for a walk.
