What a morning. On my own today so got up early to get milking done, feed and home for breakfast.

That was the plan.

Half milking done power went. Called spark but no answer. Went to out farm for generator but it was put in with the loader in a shed that the roof was too low for tractor. Back home for loader moved it, back for tractor and attach. Back milking got finished eventually. As I left yard for cuppa spark arrived to tell me it's a problem at other side of meter. Called ESB, they came 2 hrs later and took 1.5 hrs to sort it. Only home for brekky now.

Tell the truth if ESB the guy had all that was needed in the van, a real Aladdin's cave.

The best laid plans, my arse!!!!

As long as this didn't happen ye!

Machine owners are odd around here, they only lend to the roughest sorts who will abuse them

I don't even bother asking.
