Update from eldest in Aus.
He is now working in the construction industry and got his "Safe Pass" earlier this month. I'm in fits laughing at the idea of him doing a bit of proper hard graft but proud of him for stepping outside his comfort zone.
As a concerned Mother, I've advised him how to treat those teeny tiny little blisters that a novice gets from handling a shovel, grape, pick etc :rolleyes:
In fairness he is still working on Fri and Sat nights in the pub/nightclub job that he got when he first arrived in Aus as he needs the money.
Of the four friends that travelled only two are working

Fair play to him for knuckling down , are the other two not working by choice or is it hard getting work out there now ?

I was on a trawler there that the inlaws bought in October and they still aren't allowed use it to go fill there quotas because of a size difference and few other silly details .
The fishermen are more tied up with red tape than the farmers it seems

Ireland sacrificed the fishing industry to get more for agriculture. There's a heap of spanish trawlers fishing in irish waters. Father does a lot of continental driving. He hauled a lot of fishing towns such a dingle, killybeggs, castletownbear. He couldn't believe how many irish trawlers disappeared out of these ports and were replacedd by spanish and Portuguese trawlers

Great that they can afford to do it that way ! I know a lad that had sent 7k to his daughter a couple of years ago on her j1er! ! He was a hard worker himself and never got anything easy but he was petrified that the daughter would be staying in a rough place , or working for the wrong crowd , she even had a rent a car most of the time out there . She had him wrapped around his finger

With the way things are going in Agriculture, are we to be soon left with nothing?

Was heading out this evening to drop in silage bales. Checked the tractor for diesel. Very low so I said I'd better fill it up when I was finished. Tractor cut out just as I was spiking the first bale. Took me a good 30 mins to get it going again. You'd want the patience of Joab sometimes.
Of course I went bleeding it the quick way instead of the right way. Should have worked my way out along tru the filters and then the pump instead of going straight for the pump. Starter was hot and battery nearly down before she went.

These are in aldi at the moment for 2.99. Very handy around the yard. I have them in the parlour for cutting tails

The auld man had one of those days today. Was bring bales down about a mile away when on the return trip he got a punture which put paid to that. Second one in two weeks. A ewe that was sick all day decided that the most inaccessible part of the field was an ideal location to lamb and couldn't lamb him, almost on my hands and knees to get at her to pull the lamb. Happy ending though live lamb.
