General disgusting things and horses

It's got cold enough this week to put the horses in overnight for the winter. My hands are rough already! They're both bedded down on wood shavings instead of straw this year to try and control Kaz's cough. I'm not entirely sure how to muck out a shavings bed so this morning was spent picking up small pieces of poo with rubber gloves wondering how on earth you're supposed to do it without taking 23949028 hours. Hmmm. I think we need to get a shavings fork.

I rode Kaz yesterday and she was dripping with sweat by the time we got back. I daren't get on Oscar - I'm frightened that his riding days have come to an end. He's pretty much lame all the time now and he looks like such an old man. Maybe I'll try and get on him the weekend after the con (OMG next weekend!)

I found a huge spider in the hay barn yesterday. It was almost as big as my palm with its legs outstretched. Not that I picked it up with my hands - I just coaxed it on to a pair of scissors to try and take a photo that didn't come out.

When we got home from the field this afternoon there was dog sick everywhere. I'm not sure why but it was the most unpleasant sick I've ever had the misfortune to come across. Nice. And now I'm going to go and watch Nip/Tuck before I traumatise you any further.

That is one huge spider. Also, why a scissors? Seems a rather lethal implement to coax it onto. Unless your photos are going to go in a more sadistic direction.

Nip/Tuck was weird. The end kicked ass, though. Of all people, I was glad it was her.

It was a really fat spider with meaty legs. None of that spindly business.

Seems a rather lethal implement to coax it onto

I was opening a bale of hay at the time! I wasn't going to chop its legs off or anything...

It was weird and I did not see that ending coming at all! What kind of crazy police officer is she anyway?!

She's a total nutter, isn't she?!! Me & the flatmate were watching agog at her unprofessional way of approaching the case. Plus, how could she be investigating someone she was sleeping with? And the whole line about being under cover - yeah, right.

I didn't see the ending coming at all! I thought for a second it would be Kimber, and Kimber is really nice and that would have been sad.

I can't believe Sean actually thought it might be him, though.

I do have a theory. If the DNA in the condom was so similar and it wasn't planted, it could be Christian's real father...

The first episode she was in I was amazed at her unprofessionalism. I just thought she was a one off conquest of Christian's so I was surprised when she turned up again.

And the whole line about being under cover - yeah, right.

Oh for sure. She's totally lying about that.

it could be Christian's real father...

Ooooooh, good theory. Heh, I haven't watched anything as soapy as this for a long time!

I'm not sure I saw the first ep. I saw her when she went out to dinner with Christian, Kimber and Quentin.

My other theory is that it's Quentin, but I think I had that theory before and discounted it for some reason. But maybe he had that one opportunity of picking up a condom of Christian's. And then keeping it... er, fresh.

They have said before that the Carver might be a surgeon because he is so precise.

You know I actually woke up at one stage last night thinking all this. Which is why I am spamming your LJ about it now. On the one hand, it's tragic that I wake up thinking about Nip/Tuck. On the other, it's nice that that's all I've got to worry about!

heh. We use wood shavings, and I have the hardest time cleaning stalls bedded in straw.

poor Oscar. do you give him pain killers/bute? the navicular horse that I had was always worse in weather changes, so maybe he's just adjusting to the cold? *hopeful*

eep! giant spider!! *hides*

We've got a shavings fork today so that should make life a little easier! It's just what you're used to isn't it - I've been mucking out straw beds for the past twelve years and it's really strange not to have it now.

Yeah, I've got some bute so next time I ride him I'll start giving him some two days beforehand and the day after and hopefully he'll be ok. *fingers crossed*
