Zap!

Got up at, dear God, dawn today because T had an early doctor's appointment (and for those who are interested in alternative medicine, we have a doc who prescribes homeopathic remedies. Which the chemist does not stock, but it's a start). Very cold, with a frost covering the fields and a red dawn.

And this afternoon, since it was still fine, we installed an electric fence to keep the horses out of one bit of the field and into another one, once more 'helped' by: two dogs, two horses, and the cat, who supervised. T electrocuted himself 6 times but hey, he'll live.

Ah, the joys of electric fences! I'm so glad that I don't have to struggle with them any more. Though in many ways I really miss having horses, I don't miss all the hassle of muddy fields and electric shocks.

The mud here at this time of year is something else - I was up to my calves in it, and up to my ankles in standing water at one point. The poor old cat, who feels a need to participate in these things, toiled grimly over all the ruts and potholes - thought he was going to disappear at one point.
