Jumping the gap: one electric fence, two borders...

 Our electric fence which repels the rabbits from the newly planted borders met with an untimely accident with a lawn mower this week, severing the fence in two.  It would be insensitive to go into the gory details of the fence's demise whilst the other tools are still in shock.
 This created a problem... how to join two pieces of (now rather shorter) electric fence together to protect two separate areas of border (note gap/lawn above).  And here is the simple solution we came up with.  Indeed it could even be employed by intentionally cutting a fence into two sections I suppose.
 This has been so successful that we are thinking of digging in the wire where it crosses the lawn so we can more easily erect the fence as needed in future years.
