First : Axel is doing as well as can be expected.....he is in a stable condition and have been putting on about 100 grammes in weight:) Thats a whole lot for such a small chap!
Claras toe has healed up and she no longer limps around looking like a wet rag. She has taken to jump over the fence that I have surrounding my patio and simply sneak off into the shrubs surrounding the houses here....I am about to give up and build a much taller fence to keep the lil rat inside...
Today is Midsummers eve and by tradition all Swedes eat marinated herring, with fresh potatoes and sour cream....to top it off we also finish off a huge amount of fresh strawberries after that. Tradition has that it is necessary to sit outdoors even if it is freezing and swarms or swarms of midges eat you alive.....after the strawberries everyone gets totally blitzed and dance around a maypole imitating frogs while singing christmas songs. Nahh....just kidding. No christmas songs.
The mare withnoname is out grazing at a friends place miles away...the not so clever lads decided to let out 4 1 year old stallions at their place and I wont risk it....as much as I want a foal by her I am not too keen on anyone on them jumping the fence and having a go at it!! Regarding names....my old hors was named Carpe Diem and her nickname was Little M, I always liked that and was thinking of calling this one Pretty M,(or as Mimmi suggested: 'Fat M').
The past weeks have been busy with me looking for work and painting stables....ick....my whole body aches after having painted the inside of 25 horse stables as well as the walls outside....next week there is the windows.......bah!! I dont see an end to this!!!
Remind me to only have two stables if I ever win the lotto and buy my own place *grins*.
Well, I think I will join stinky and take a nap.
