Marooned

Not much to report due to being trapped in the house since Friday. Well, trapped is perhaps a strong word, but there was plenty of snow on Friday and Saturday and despite some sunshine yesterday it hasn't shown any sign of melting. Due to the wind, it formed some pretty large drifts, which means if I want to get my car out it will take a lot of digging. The water pumped up OK on Saturday, but hasn't since then.

Fortunately I can now work from home, which is what I've been doing as supplies are OK for at least a couple more days after our neighbour did a bit of shopping for us. Carrying 8 litres of water up the track wasn't much fun though.

The people who own the field finally came and picked up their annoying ponies yesterday. They kept whinnying and galloping at random across the fields, and one of them would chase the dog as well.

Booked everything now for the Berlin trip next week. Looking forward to it now, just hoping the weather behaves itself.
