At 8am this morning myself and my girls were to be found waving someone off at the bus station on their way to a holiday which will give them warm winter sun. How unfair that it wasn't us that was getting on that coach, still, the person concerned deserves it and I hope they have a great time and come back safe and sound,(and Tanned).
I took the girls back home, my husband was on nights last night and had a rather disrupted night, so hopefully with me on nights tonight he can get a good nights sleep, with out me snoring!!
I went straight out again to do the horses, last night even the water in their stables froze!
The water in the field was solid and unbreakable, so the buckets that had been in the stables were taken up to the field. All the taps are frozen solid and by the time I got home I couldn't have told you if my feet and hands were still attached to my body, even with the car heater on full blast (its a brill heater too!)
I mucked out the horses and did hays and feeds, then found some water carriers and put them in the car, if its still frozen later we are going to need water from somewhere!
Back home my lovely husband made me a cuppa and I started to warm up again, even though I knew that actually I still have to go back out into the freezing cold to a) do the water, and
b) bring the horses in!
don't you just love living in the fridge!
I am glad we don't have too much of this freezing weather here, I don't like it much!
2pm the taps are still frozen, so the Blonde bird and I fill up camping water containers and take them down to the stables, we fill up two of the troughs before one of the other horse owners says the taps have defrosted, after filling all the water buckets we then fill every tub, carrier and spare bucket, just in case the same thing happens again, once bitten twice shy!
We bring the horses in and I change Mouses rug whilst the Blonde does Reds.
I drop her back home then go home myself. I am on nights tonight (Joy!!) so I have to get changed and ready.
