Finally managed to get lime hooked up to the arc again today after running out of gel, order of new gel getting waylaid in the post, then still not able to get a connection. Mike cleaned the contacts with some wire wool which seemed to do the trick. Good as another 'consumables' pack is £50!! Vet is coming on Tuesday. Did 2 barrows of poo before leaving him in the stable for the rest of the cycle. He is still not too happy being in. Nice sunny day so took buddys rugs off.

Then went to SW. Half way to target. Few bits to get from the shops in prep for Sat a.m arrival. Home for lunch then back to yard to let lime out and feed and rug up Buddy and muck out before getting the kids. Oh and I've done 5 loads of washing today and still no where near the bottom of the basket.

Need an early night tonight. Big day tomorrow!!
