After yesterday’s excitement, I spent the morning with a stonking migraine all morning.  I am not suprised at this.  The stress over Monster’s absence was too huge for me and my imagination to cope with.

A massive four day gale (with sheet rain in the morning) has also begun and everyone was happy enough indoors in the morning, though OH took the dogs out later for a walk as Pepper started climbing off the walls.  Luckily, the rain had stopped by then.  Ted would’ve happily never moved from his bed again but he did go, if grudgingly.

Ditto Monster – he hasn’t moved all day either and I am secretly pleased.

With my migraine, I had a quiet morning and then into my shed to make a sheep.  Afterwards, I went over with an apple to check on the Ancients who all came racing down.  A quarter each and the last bit bitten into two pieces for the old men.  Sorry, Kolka.

The gale will continue for days.  Tomorrow is blowier (gusting F11 – 64-72mph) with more rain so that won’t be fun. The old ladies have their rain-sheets on and are nice and dry.  After breakfast this morning, I opened the gate and moved all the ponies into their old field where there is better shelter for a few days.  It really is very fierce outside and not much fun, especially when it rains.
