28th February.

It is the last day of February and very chilly. Frost on the ground and ice on the water troughs chilly! 2 rugs chilly too........ Simon is expecting it to warm up a bit though as I have the stretchy hood thing on as well. This doesn't stop me getting mud in my ears though!!!

Andy came yesterday with new shoes for me and for Bubbles.

25th February.

It is almost the end of February. It is apparently not a leap year so there is no 29th. No 30th or 31st either, but there never is. This is all a bit strange I think.

It is quite cold again. I am wearing 2 rugs and a stretchy hood thing. This combination is making the top rug slip forward when I put my head down to eat...which makes me look as if I have no ears. Question...What do you call horses with no ears? Answer...Anything you like because they can't hear you!

22nd February

It is REALLY cold today! It might have been a 2 rug day, but I have only got 1 on. I have also got on a stretchy hood to keep my head clean.....but the mud is frozen as hard as concrete...so I think Simon could have saved 5 minutes by not putting it on.....or used the 5 minutes putting another rug on. Never mind I have some nice hay and I can keep moving about.

It is definitely lighter at breakfast time...I can see my breakfast now!

18th February

The sun is shining! It is cold but we can live with that. It is also getting lighter at breakfast time, which is nice.

I have been busy over the weekend, I have been out in the cart with Simon twice. I was out when Jessica came to see me unfortunately, so sorry I missed you Jessica!

8th February

It is cold, frosty and sunny this morning. The hay that had been out in the field all night was frozen and there was ice on all the water troughs. But it is staying light longer now...winter is definitely on its way out, the grass will start growing again soon.

I am in the field behind the workshop today, keeping an eye on Simon, and he is probably keeping an eye on me too!

7th February.

It is very cold this morning the mud has gone very hard! It is no good for rolling in, on maybe, but not in. I have 2 rugs on today. It is a bit gloomy but if nothing falls out of the sky we'll all be happy!

6th February

It is gloomy but not raining, sleeting, hailing or snowing. Which is good. I have gone to eat grass in the field behind the barn now....having let myself out of the field Simon put me in first thing this morning. The electric fence is on now...I have tested it with my nose.

This weeks covering of mud is building up nicely!

5th February

It is VERY chilly today. There is a cold wind blowing. Simon says it is a lazy wind...it goes through you instead of around! Summer has 2 rugs on as a precaution......I am only wearing one though...I will have to keep moving.......OR ROLL IN THE MUD! An excellent plan.

I now know that an i-pad is not something worn by people with poorly eyes. It is also called an Apple...but you can't eat it. This is just silly.

4th February.

It is dry! And staying dry and cold all week. This means we can stay outside longer each day.

We have all had a good weekend, and spent the days eating nice grass in the big field behind the barn, which was nice, and much less muddy. I have been out with Simon in the cart twice too.

It being Monday I am not muddy, since Simon has now removed all of last weeks accumulated mud. I must get busy accumulating this weeks mud!

1st February.

It is the first day of February. And it is raining. We have gone out in it anyway. Is is very gloomy and very gloopy!

On the upside lots of you are reading my musings....all over the world and in all sorts of ways. Apparently some of you are reading it with i-pads, which I assume means you are only reading with your good i, so to you all....I hope your poorly i's get well soon so you can take the pads off!
