Not to mention 5 goats, 7 chickens, 8 horses, and quite a few bats. Life on the farm is fun! The early mornings do me good because I don't sleep for half the day and feel like a sack of shit for the other half. I get plenty of exercise because the Mares are in a field that it takes a good 10 minutes (for me at least) to walk to. The Geldings are down a 87% hill (Not exaggerating much) so thats a chore to walk up. But at the end of the day, I don't feel like crap, which suprises me. I'm not the fittest person in the world, but I find it quite easy to do all this walking.
I can't remember the last time (other than coming here before) I was so far away from home, with no contact to my mum or family. It's fantastic! I don't get any signal on my phone (which is good in some cases, not in others. Not to mention its a heap of shit. Or so April tells me :p) so I don't get any silly calls from people for pathetic reasons, like: 'Can I borrow a DVD please?'. Why ask me that, when I know full well you've already gone into my room, taken 5 DVD's, played on my games console, slept in my bed and listened to my CD's? Honestly.
The only downside about being here is that I don't know the town too well, and won't leave the house through fear of getting lost. I know, I know, ask for directions, but when it comes to things like that (or most things, come to think of it) I'm like a bloke. I won't ask for directions, 'cause it bruises my ego. I'll use a sat nav, that's different. It can't mock you for not knowing where you're going, especially when half the time it takes you in completely the wrong direction anyway, or tells you to turn off of one of the busiest roundabouts you've ever been on, when there is no turning.
Sat navs really suck sometimes. Let me give you an example. I am at a farm in Surrey ok? Now, the last time I came here, I set it up on the fastest route on my TomTom. It said it would take 2 hrs and 30 mins. Which I thought nothing of, until I did the same thing Sunday evening to get here and the fastest route said 1 hr 30 mins. So why did it take so long the first time? It can't be the traffic, because I was held up more on Sunday evening than I was the first time I came. I didn't mind because I had someone else in the car with me and she kept me company (obviously). I don't really like sat navs, they suck. Period.
