well i never ...

lunged! with roller and side reins (loose, of course) in the field beside the house...

i was surprised, as at one point it had started raining, and i though, here we go again! but it stopped and stayed dry for the rest of hte afternoon and there we were.

both horses were a bit on their toes - a few boings going on - don't you just love the 4 legged spring jump? :-)

AND there was NO FROST this morning. but i've horrid feeling there will be tomorrow. but made getting up a shade more pleasant than yesterday!

we're going to investigate oil filled electric heaters tomorrow, Gaynor has a couple and says they're very effective and of course they have their own thermostats, once they've heated up they switch off but the oil retains the heat and pushes it out...

I have an oil filled heater on my back porch. Too bad you are so far away. You'd be welcome to use it.

They do work well, though. My porch is not insulated and the heater will warm it nicely. I should think in a more closed up house they would be wonderful!

Any word on getting the boiler fixed??

boiler is going to be about 2/3 weeks - largely because the chap already had holiday booked next week, and consequentially was booked up the next week as well, but will fit us in when he can asap.

it's like when we were kids, jean, no heating was the norm!
