The big chill


I went straight to bed when I got home from work this morning, my Husband had made a cup of tea and as soon as I had finished it I fell asleep. To be woken by the post at about 11.30am. Then I got up as I am not working tonight. I had to collect Lit'lun from school at 2pm to take her for her orthodontic appointment, she needs to have a brace to sort out her teeth, from there we went straight down to the stables, all the taps and buckets had frozen up again but the owner of the yard managed to defrost one for us to use.
I brought the girls in early as it was so cold that they were just stood at the fence waiting. The blond bird had put them out this morning and I was so pleased to see that she had rugged Mouse, and even more pleased to see that Mouse hadn't taken advantage of the padding to walk through the electric fence!
Once home I decided that although the bunny hates being in his hutch it is far too cold for him to have access to the run, and tonight he is shut in his hutch, I was even more shocked to find his water partially frozen, the girls and I are rotating the water bottles when ever we let the dog out or get a few minutes, so that we know he has fresh unfrozen water to drink.
And now, I have to go downstairs and take all the Christmas decorations down, I hate this as the house always looks so empty and naked.
