It's my first full week off work, the house is (slightly) less of a state, and I should be settling down to some listing. But no.
I noticed when feeding Rupert the other day that he had a few bald patches from rubbing on the fences. On closer inspection- lice! Now since he's turned out with 6 other horses, treating him with the herbal repellant powder hasn't been doing any good as they just come back. So today it was serious de-lousing time, with Coopers fly repellant plus, and a good insecticide powder for his rugs. A less-than happy horse resulted, but at least it should clear the lice problem.
It took twice as long to do everything this morning, as I've managed to do something painful to my lower back. No idea how, unless it was slipping off a curb yesterday. (Slightly under the influence of some rather nice Welsh ale!). A nice hot bath when I got back seemed like a good idea, until it came to trying to get out of it.
I've given up for today- painkillers, a pot of tea and a pile of Agatha Christie's are the order for this afternoon!
