Jodie news
In other news, Jodie is now t-shirt-free, and I've put the cushions back on her sofa, so I think we can call that recovered. She has still got a feelable wound on her side, but it's healing up nicely.
I spoke to the vet today, after she'd spoken to the oncologist, and the conclusion is that there's very little value in re-testing the samples. The oncologist reckons there's about a ten percent chance of the cancers recurring, and that if we want to do anything more then it would be an ultrasound scan of her abdomen to look for suspicious patches. The vet, very sensibly, said "Even if there is, what would you do?", and she's right so I think we're going to leave it for now.
This afternoon, we picked the last courgette of the year, chopped down all the dead and dying veg plants, and moved half a dozen barrow-loads of compost from the big compost bins to the veg bed. We're very bad about the compost bins, and just occasionally throw random stuff into them. I suspect that the (non-horse-owning) people we bought the place from did the same, because once we got down towards the bottom the compost was really lovely-looking and contained bits of the surface of our riding school, suggesting that the people that *they* bought the place from used to chuck in any horse poo that was deposited in the school.
