THE FIELD TRIP

Oh my goodness I have been on a roller coaster of emotions today. After our early breakfast the event planners loaded us into the bus . This is a picture of Nicky waving from the window.

The Turkeys tried to get on the bus but they were turned away. It was rather sad, those big old boys followed the bus all the way down the road calling for us and beseeching us to take them along but we left them behind.





You will never believe where we went . To the Ride-a-thon. We had talked about this all week but I had forgotten, I was so excited to be around all the other horses, You should have seen it , I be there were 100 buses loaded with equine participants .

Here is a picture of us as we arrived at the Ride-a-thon. I asked them not to photograph me until I could clean up a bit however, Much to my surprise , included in my entourage was one of my personal hair dressers, and she got to work immediately to make me look my best.

The trip went very well. We had an emergency stone-ectomy for Chili out on the trail but that was about the most exciting thing other than the dead cow that we saw. I did try to turn around at one point, I was ready to go back but one of the directors encouraged me to change my mind and I was persuaded to co-operate with the herd.

Notice please that I am in front of Nick making my way to the Front of the herd. There is not Lazy Daisy anymore I am Dauntless Daisy, Daring Daisy, Delightful Daisy . Nick got worn out and had to start resting on the way back from the 11 mile hike. I understand that he may be getting a buzz cut in the near future as well as some much needed boot camp training to get him back into shape. I really dusted him and I believe he is rather humiliated.

The best part of the whole day was meeting up with alot of our friends .
I have to admit I was really tired when we got back to the spa but lunch was served immediately and then we hit the pool.

I had hoped to catch the Saturday night movie in the dining hall, It is Chicken Run, but I think I am hitting the hay early instead.

Early Morning, Saturday the 14th of March 2009

I just have a moment, it is still dark outside but something is going on around here . The staff woke us up really early this morning and gave us breakfast. There has been some mention of a "Field Trip" but what exactly does that mean. After all we go out to the field every day so that shouldn't be cause for all the excitement.

I must go for now, I will write more when I find out what is going on

This place is a soap opera

Here I was , minding my own business and the turkey struts up and tells me if I want to keep Nicky I had better get to the pool.

















I hot footed it over there and my former BFF and Nicky were in a there and acting pretty chummy.

My goodness I was angry but then decided to do something about it , I know I am beautiful but perhaps I have let myself go abit. They were offering Permanents today so I went to the beautician and got one .

Nicky was really sorry he had made me mad and being the drama queen he is ,. he got on the ground and groveled to show he just couldn't live without me

I really have to say that the one thing I don't like about this place is that there just isn't any privacy , that matron is an ass and seems to be hiding around every corner , always watching us always listening , always minding someone else's business

Ashiatsu

The Ashiatsu Artists arriving at the dining hall

My goodness .........

What a surprise last night while we were in the dining room for dinner . This group of small domestics arrived at the spa. They came to perform Ashiatsu while we ate. It was so delightful and relaxing , I feel like a foal again. Both Chili and I enjoyed it thoroughly, Nicky said that it tickled and he didn't want them to touch him so he missed out ( Its a good thing he's cute girls cause he's not to bright sometimes ) .

My dearest friends,

Just a note to catch you up on my time here at the health resort.

At first neither Nick nor I were at all sure about the exercise regime but as it turns out the hikes in the woods such as we took this morning are lovely and I am sure in time will help me regain my girlish figure.

The meals and treats are pretty regular so I expect they think that the exercise will be enough to get me “ back in shape “

The best part of the whole get healthy thing are the beauty routines and spa times such as we have just had. Here is a picture of myself and my new BFF talking with the pool staff as we had our nails soaked in preparation for pedicures.







Later we just were able to relax and do synchronized routines , it was all so very Ester Williams-ish

We could have more fun but the hatchet faced matron was watching us very closely to make sure we did not do anything that is not allowed here

That nag seems to hear everything!!!!!


Nick did not join us this morning . Last time he took a swim he also participated in the mud bath and while that in its self was not a problem , the resort staff had planned a nature hike and Nicks disreputable state was a bit of an issue.
He however did watch us girls in the pool this morning (isn’t he such a stud muffin ).




Nick sends his love . We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

Kisses

Queen of all she Surveys
