Mileage Eater


That was a busy 36 hours. Yesterday morning got in the car, drove up to Whitburn (between Glasgow and Edinburgh), held an evening meeting, then a drive back down today. A few people seem to think I was mad driving all that way for such a short trip. But I needed to take a projector and screen and the idea of having to get on planes or trains with those and two bags really didn't seem like fun.

It was a good meeting. We got a group of vets together to discuss management and control of strangles outbreaks. Advice to horse owners on strangles can vary and this leads to a lot of potential confusion. With another Strangles Awareness Week coming up it was an ideal time to get the local practices together so they could talk about their protocols for dealing with the disease. The evening generated a lot of debate and people left feeling it had been very useful. There was just enough time for a whisky (OK, two) before retiring to bed.
