It was during this time that I hobbled out to the front paddock, got into my snug warm sleeping bag ready to watch (I think) the Geminid meteor shower . I rolled over to get more comfy, and couldn't stop myself, I kept rolling down the hill till I ran into the electric fence.
That would have been a shocking experience
