Slept worse than usual. Was kept awake by a stray cow (I thought) giving an occasional anxious little moo outside the open window. Decided it must be Herself snoring or me wheezing, and tried to go back to sleep.
Turns out there were 12 or 15 of a neighbour's cattle trampling on our flower beds and croquet lawn and (on the positive side) fertilising them with copious amounts of dung. But it looks like a battlefield out there. Just as well it's winter because it might have been quite inconvenient in summer.
Herself says I should have got up and herded them away with her help. But my heroic night-time swineherding days are over. I'm a city boy at heart when it comes to that sort of thing.
