Winter is a cruel mistress

Managed to get hay delivery unloaded and covered before the rain came thus morning! I take that as a win!!!
Big win!

I managed to clean and Iodine the lingering abcess hoof and get a mud fever heel cleaned dried and covered in-between showers so that was my big win.

Was going to spend the afternoon using the slurry Shovel on the remaining patches of top soil but think I'll go to the pub and watch the rugby instead as set to rain again 🤣 it can wait until tomorrow morning.

Big wins all round!

Slurry shovelling with a hangover- sounds fun 😁! I'm likely to be shovelling muddy wet bedding out of the shelter tomorrow in a similar condition.

We're heading to the pub too. Alcohol is the main coping method currently.

Enjoy! Its the best thing to do in this weather and it will be a good vibe with England playing.

In total and absolute agreement re the alcohol. I have been teetering on the edge of a drink problem since the new year (and rain) began.

No dry January in our house 😅
 
Well today we had the first glimpse of spring and it was glorious!! Dry all day and I hacked out in a hoodie with no coat :eek: got on top of lots of yard jobs, hay feeders cleaned out, water buckets all scrubbed and horses got their rugs off and a thorough groom. Also still just about light at 5:30pm!

What a difference it has made to my mood, I’m well aware it’s ’false spring’… this isn’t my first rodeo 😂 but it was enough to lift my mood!

Another day of rain for us. At least we got 2 hours of dry in the morning so I could chuck the ponies out and poo pick without getting rained on.
OH went for a cycle ride and got drenched, he also had 2 punctures bless him.

Hang in there! Everyone on here was saying they had a lovely day earlier in the week and it was torrential sleet here relentlessly, then we finally got some respite today 🙏
