He's called Cash but I don't know whether he knows that because I'm always calling him stupid names like "Schnubbit" and "Smooshkin" - the happiest and sweetest little horse, he just never has the slightest idea what is going on.

Another black horse related anniversary passed me by because I wasn't thinking back that far, but the Thursday before last marks 20 years since the arrival of the first horse who was ever "mine." He taught me a lot and set me on a path I'm still working at.

Six years ago I met this little round man in a field living with some cows. He had belonged to the daughter of the builder that replaced our kitchen roof and she had lost interest in ponies so he'd been languishing for a while. These days he is a very useful little riding horse, and dearly loved.

Times when I say "so long":
❎ When I am saying goodbye to someone.
✅ When the cat does a big stretch.

We went in search of autumn colours and found less than I had hoped for, and got a bit rained on, but the woods are always gorgeous and we saw deer and a goldcrest and so many fungi.

I had a cover that somehow made Ged whiter, although being more stylised is better (to my eye) in other regards.

The Redstone Rescue is a low fantasy detective adventure story in which the famous detective's sidekick steps in to protect the utopia she calls home. Topically this week, it begins with a stolen crown. Packed with mystery, peril, romance, and some good jokes. turnanother.page/book/the-red...

Not a great photo on account of phone and distance but this is my intensely earshy (and muddy) pony with a magpie on his head.

Working up the cover page for my Game Jam entry - this might be most of the way there. Not perfect, but I only have about six weeks left until it has to be done so good enough may be good enough.

Also we had our lunch on somebody's basking rock but they gradually worked out we were not a threat and came out to join us.

From the top of Moel Feddau we could turn a circle and see Ireland, North Wales, South Wales, Gower, and England. It really feels like a heart place for Wales, in sight of so much of the country. I wonder whether that is part of its prehistoric significance.
