The weather is still very cold. It's been dropping down to -5 at night in some places. My thermometer in Doogle's kennel said that it was -0.6 last night and the kennel is a good couple of degrees warmer than outside in a field! Peepsie was all snuggley in her rug though, I'm very glad I left it on her as I was thinking yesterday morning that I should change it as the weather had become milder. I knew it was very cold when I had to scrape like mad to get the ice off my car when I got home from work at gone midnight this morning!

Percy and Ruby have been allowed access to the field next to them which isn't anywhere near as poached as the one they are currently in. They have been refusing to go into the field, which means that turning them out has been taking nearly half an hour each morning - not funny when you have to go to work! Andrew, the farmer is really flat out at this time of year so Kim and I are going to fix the fencing ourselves to make it foal proof. I'll be off to agrivet tomorrow to buy some posts! Only three more days at work after today and then my Christmas break! Whopee!
