The Horses are Back

Feeding horse: sketch There’s a paddock outside my window at work. It’s been emtpy for nearly a year. A delivery of contaminated sand led to a horrible injury (a horse stepped on a nail, got a bad infection, had to be put down).

The place has been thoroughly combed with metal detectors. There are now horses back in there, a gentle presence when I”m trying to think of a synonym for “part” that isn’t “component” which in my opinion is a word that should only be used in connection with cars.

I like having them back.

  1. Annoying person! can’t suggest a synonym without knowing the context! (no, no, leave it… I have work to do too).

    How lovely, a paddock outside your office window – though not so lovely what happened in it.
