Thinking of doing the Manchester marathon next year.

Fair play. Spring marathons are great to keep you honest over the Winter. I always preferred training during Winter anyway. As soon as the weather starts to warm up I always find it tougher going.

Same as that. Prefer running in hard frosty weather or snow. Could be as it's rare weather here

Came across this thing on top of a cupboard. Turned it on and it still works!
16 years, still going strong.
Might last longer than the Euro!

Antique. They were great yolks.


Just about knocking off for the night. Had a few classes off so came home to do the farm jobs. Back up to school for parent teacher meeting. The brother collected the small lady and entertained her until I got home. Put her to bed and had to wait for the OH to come home from work at 10:30. Had to put soap bars up the ladder into the loft and lay the place out for block neighbour in morning.

Glad I didn’t do it in the AM as I’d planned.

2 days of an unannounced Full Cross Compliance inspection over.
Thanks be to the Old Gods and the New!

Wee man here suffering after the first round injections today

Got text this afternoon from KT facilitator (Teagasc)) - our group was picked to be inspected/audited so payment is held up:(

No idea, but out the other side with just a 1% penalty. The 2 lads were reasonable and fair.
Yesterday walking land and boundaries and reading cattle tags, today read every sheep manually and recorded them. Measured sheds, yards, tanks, chem stores, dung piles and the yard run off facilities, and then 2 1/2 hours correlating things.

I find that if you get the rights lads (you don't want a girl, they do the job they're supposed to do) you could do the following:
Find out their intrests, football, classic cars, sheep, whatever, just talk about that.
Keep asking them questions, about everything that is not relevant. Ask about the merits of treated posts and concrete posts. Weather roof sheeting should be fixed through the valley or hill. Type of tek-screws for timber or steel purlins. Stay away from politics and public service.
But do ask about improvement grants anything the department has to offer. Keep asking their advice, but not on anything relevant.
Dry stock? ask about changing to sheep or chickens but don't ask about dry stock or it could be an improvement notice.
Not showering for a week or two before visit and sitting close is another option:0 but I wouldn't recommend it!

Totally ignored the Fiat sitting in the yard with attached tanker and rain gun.
