October Chat!

The weekend before last I realised I had lost my search and rescue torch - a 120 quid torch! 🤬 I have torn apart my house, my car (and my search kit in it) and the yard a number of times over the last 10 days looking for it, during which I also realised I have lost one of my radio batteries 😭 This morning I found my torch, in a cereal box! WTF! I wonder where the radio battery will show up 😆

@MrA this is what I have to deal with most mornngs! The slightly darker area behind the purple bowl is where all the poo is, this morning it had a light flick chopped straw over it as he'd walked round while I got breakfast. Very tidy boy :) IMG_1828.JPG

Heck I would love a horse that clean! @MrA picture was clean in comparison to what Jess used to leave me most mornings!

Believe me @Jessey it's very much appreciated! I joke that he has his stable split into bathroom and bedroom, all I have to do is keep the two areas seperate - ho doesn't like it if bathroom straw is accidentally moved into the bedroom 🤣

I love horses that poo in one spot! Even better I used to know one that wouldn't wee in its bed, so easy to muck out, although not sure if it was good for the horse to not wee in a stable
 
Well - we have no water. Since last night, possibly til Sunday. I have 3 children off school using the loo (:oops:). The roads where they're giving out water are gridlocked. The horses hopefully have enough in the troughs. Not even sure I'll get to the yard tonight, as I have to drive past one of the places they give out water. Wonder if we'll get a refund on our water bill? As if.

Ben didn’t enjoy seeing in his stable. We once developed a ‘wee spot’ on the grass by the school where he stopped to wee everytime I turned him out. The grass turned brown and stopped growing and everyone wondered what was wrong with the grass.

This face is in BIG trouble. All privileges have been revoked. I trusted him too much when I was adding straw and didn't tie him up. He took his chance, pushed the barrow out of the way and set off to the fields. Thankfully he turned left to the small enclosed area to speak to his girls rather than right to all of the fields! I refuse to say in his ear shot but the trot was lovely!!

@Huggy did your water come back on? We have none today and may not get it back until tomorrow. Such a pain, and demonstrates how much we take it for granted!

Yes it came back on after 36 hours. Some people's didn't though. There's also rumblings that it might go off again, so have filled 2 buckets at home for loo flushing (that got really disgusting 😖), and we've got a fair bit of the bottled water left, that they handed out. I'm going to fill a big container at the yard tonight, just in case.
