April fools day was here again as was the glorious sunshine.
After a lovely evening at a friends wedding reception I found myself enjoying the unusual lie in that came with not having a horse to turn out in the morning.
I lay snuggled in my duvet, quiet and relaxed when I heard the distinctive ping of my mobile phone.
Slithering my arm out of the warmth I reached for my phone. Two texts sat waiting for me.
The first, from a 'horsey' friend, said she had had to go up to the vet clinic and while there had stopped to say hello to Chico. It was nice to know he had seen a familiar face.
The second message was from my vet, it simply read 'Chico continues to make excellent progress, very bright this am. Full update tomorrow.'
With a broad smile I sent a short reply and tucked myself back into my duvet.
I wouldnt be visiting Chico that day. Seeing how excited he got on my previous two visits I felt it best to only visit every other day so as not to get him too over exuberant everyday, he was supposed to be resting after all.
I was glad to know he was doing well and I too felt happier. The numbness of the past few days had gone but I knew i wasnt totally at ease yet, the constant niggling pains in my abdomen reminded me that my body was still in a state of alertness. I was hopeful my system would calm down once Chico was home, but for that I would have to wait and see.
Without a visit to my boy the highlight of my day was a brilliant April Fools gag from Ikea. No doubt plenty of people around the country will be heading of to their local Ikea to swap in their faulty allen key!
