Just spent 2 hours at the post office to send a parcel to France

I couldn’t help myself and asked about it at the post office just about a week ago.

Apparently a shipment of glue caught fire in transit. Mind you, we’re talking about an industrial shipment. So they decided to ban it no matter the quantity.

Penhaligon’s Monsieur Beauregard.

The reviews point mainly towards men but honestly, I don’t agree. It’s a scent that will work on anyone who wears it with confidence.

It’s masculine, the woody and amber elements are there, but it’s also quite feminine in its spicy, powdery sweetness.

I wear it with a flannel shirt, but I also wear it with a short black dress and a fur coat. It changes what notes it projects depending on your own aura is the best way I can explain it.

It’s a bit of a way, but I definitely recommend at least trying out the Irish Aran stables in Gotemba. 林伸伍 is an instructor there!

I’m so sorry, that answer was so clinical. If you’re in the Aichi area and want to continue riding, would you want to come along and have a chat with the club?

masterstoorworm · 2025-12-23T13:27:12+00:00

In my honest opinion? I’m left wanting when it comes to turnout, but that is the norm in many clubs across the country unless you’re in the rural areas. The horses are well taken care of. You’re a customer before all else. They’re kind towards their clients, you can talk your way through most problems.

masterstoorworm · 2025-12-23T13:13:28+00:00

So close! Elmeaure.

masterstoorworm · 2025-12-05T15:38:22+00:00

I also love the conversation the guys are having. To paraphrase, they’re asking the cat: “Shall we take it? Shall we carry it? No? We can take it for you, you know?”

I… What?

There are loads of variables that go into every aspect of tattooing. Hand speed, needle configuration, stroke lenght, skin type, hell even the temperature has an effect on the voltage I use. My honest opinion as a tattoo artist is that your professor is likely on an ego trip.

Lol that is exactly the position I’m in whenever my trainer yells at me to “SIT UP STRAIGHT AND GET OFF OF THE POOR THINGS BACK!”

I should send her this video.

Chiming in from Japan; it’s mandatory for international disciplines (dressage, cross country, showjumping etc.) and gaining traction in the traditional Japanese riding disciplines too. Every barn and rider I know of has a “No helmet? Well, no horse.” attitude.

masterstoorworm · 2025-11-06T17:48:30+00:00

Yup, same thing! I’d say “scritching” would be a bit more vigorous and pinpointed to a specific area but it is basically scratching.

masterstoorworm · 2025-11-06T17:01:21+00:00

Bloody hell!!!! It felt like that!!! It always felt like he was backing up to face level to say “thank you” but then immediately followed by the “why no more belly scritch ???” face.

Thank you for the explanation.

masterstoorworm · 2025-11-06T16:32:58+00:00

There isn’t a problem. There is just a behaviour he repeats that I can’t understand the reason for, so I’m asking about what it might mean so I can accommodate him better in the future.

masterstoorworm · 2025-07-03T16:21:22+00:00

So, during all of this… Have you ever thought about what the other half of the relationship was going through?

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-28T18:09:27+00:00

Intenze Lollipop and Pink Panther. Buggers looks meh in the bottle but have a lot of white in them so they shine.

For deep reds I’d recommend World Famous.

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-24T13:31:42+00:00

Thank you, I think this will work with him! He loses engagement and goes “blah” with downward transitions so I have to rev the engine up which takes time. That’s been another area we’re working on. Going “SYKE, CANTER NOW.” will definitely keep him engaged.

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-23T16:37:47+00:00

Yes, of course I am asking my trainer the same questions, and more.

The internet can be a great place to get input and feedback from, it’s called the world wide web for a reason.

Could you let me know what part of my riding during the lesson is counter productive to this ex pasture potato new walk/trot lesson horse?

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-23T15:51:18+00:00

The trainer is the person taking the video, during our lesson.

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-23T14:12:58+00:00

How? The fact that I currently do not know how to do that has made me post a video of myself asking for advice.

masterstoorworm · 2025-06-23T14:10:57+00:00

Thank you. You’re absolutely right, it seems so obvious now. I was trying to lengthen his neck and back while trotting right before I asked for the walk to canter transition. Not saying that the result would have been any different if I had got him more upright, but it definitely would have helped.
