    Today I have painted our front porch "Botany Bay" silly name for blue-green though DD2 explained why paints have silly names.

    My heart is broken. DD1 found Big 'orse dead in the field at 7:30 am. She'd been fine at 7 the night before. 

    Vet thinks acorn poisoning so preventable if I'd been more cautious.

    @Watty1 I hope your guys are away from Oak trees.

    Fortunately Ponyplops is fine (she had her bloods done).

    Oh Al, that is so awful. I'm so sorry. I do have an oak tree but it is very old and has never produced acorns.  Sending huge hugs x
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
