Savage day down this way today, and yesterday was great as well. Lovely cold, dry, blue-sky Spring days...

Feckin had to come home from work with sore back. So bad I can hardly drive.
Back pain, sciatic pain and knumbness/ pins and needles in foot. I know it'll pass but not without a few days of torture and sitting round.

1. Not at the moment but things may change - devil you know and all of that.

2. Yes - but still have to go to college for 20 days and don't know about availability.

3. Just about....

You're probably well advised to do it. It may well be a pre-requisite of future grant schemes, revenue reliefs etc etc. And if you learn something all the better!

Mine from the middle of London and he's mighty when it comes to doing anything with the cattle. We don't milk, but he can feed calves, dose, act like a gate - but won't drive a tractor! So much for boys with toys!
