So it feels like winter... (slightly pointless moan!)

[Law]

Get up and open the curtains to find it is grey and miserable out there.
Worry about whether Monkey will be ok in his lightweight rug.
Go to work and gaze out the window at the fierce winds and horizontal rain. Worry some more about monkey

Finish work, go home and change into wellies and over-trousers.
Pick up a warmer rug for Monkey.
Curse the lashing wind and driving rain.

Arrive on yard. Make feed, drive truck all the way up the track to the field gate.
Shout with all your might for Monkey to come and get his dinner.
Spot a decidedly autumnal looking leaf blowing by between the sheets of rain.
Curse the Monkey for being deaf in the wind.

Wait 5 more minutes, just in case he has heard you.

Admit defeat and trek 15 minutes across the field. By now the winter jacket you are wearing is soaked through and your hair is whipping your face.

Take Monkey to his feed, change rug and wait patiently whilst he savours every mouthful. Meanwhile the water in your jacket is collecting in the waist band of your over-trousers and is running into your jeans and you're getting a wet bum

Take your soggy ass and get back in the car and go home, get changed in the garage/shed and leave soaking clothes to dry out.

And so it begins...

Anyone else feeling like this?!

(ETS: horse not actually called Monkey, just a nickname!)

It feels like September.
Ive never seen Blackberries out in end of July/August.
Its damp and cool in the mornings.
Im beginning to admit defeat and horses will be ine next month.

I feel so guilty as Osc really feels the cold and I have already moved his thicker rugs to the new yard. He's not happy with me at all, so I'm layering what I do have left there.

It really does feel like autumn

Blackberries are out here - and spiders are in

My big two are back in as we have had lashing rain an winds and they just don't like being out in those conditions. They stand at the gate looking miserable so I relented and brought them in. Bit of a bummer though wasn't expecting to pay for supplies quite so early on. Hay / Straw man delighted though, can't imagine why LOL.
