    If you Google image search neck cooling scarf you'll see it.

    Good idea i got an awful shock off a gate that was touching the fence last week, uncle said wrap thorny wire around the top bar

    Note to self always turn off fence when fixing a leaking water trough,kneeling down with hand in water when head hits fence not good for the heart.

    Neck cooler scarf, 2nd best buy of this warm spell. Crystals soak up water, then wear it like a scarf or bandana and turn it as needed.
    Im going around like an arab with a teatowel on my head . Its a great job for flies and wiping sweat of the forehead .No fancy neck cooler scarves here !

    Farmers Journal ‏@farmersjournal 2m
    If you only take one figure from @farmersjournal today, it's that dairy cows on Greenfield farm in KK are consuming 120 litres of water/day

    Wouldn't want the half inch piping there!

    id love to see the water bill if the meters where installed.
    come to think off it how are all the big dairy farmers goin to manage when the water meters are installed.
    will ye have have a bigger allowance based on the size of the herd?

    I was flying along the main road one day in the loading shovel and I kept hearing these voices.
    Couldn't figure it out. Though it was the radio but knocked it off and still these voices talking away. Honestly though I was losing me marbles.

    When I got to the yard the brother who was behind me in a tractor and trailer told me there was 3 cyclists tucked right in behind the loader chatting away flying along!

    Skinny little *******s had me going anyway:D

    Was there some talk of wells being metered or was that just BS to stir things up? I'd like to have a well at some stage but there's no way I'd put up with it being metered.

    Hmm duno, if mine was metered I'd quickly have a pipe bypassing the meter anyways :p
