    wasnt too bad, walk 4 run 1 minute and do that 4 times
    Yes the run walk strategy, it's a great way to get into it. After a few weeks you'll be running more and more and actually start to crave getting out for a run. Stick with it and keep going to events, you'd be surprised how quickly you start noticing familiar faces and as a full-time farmer it's good to be doing something that has a social element to it outside of farming:).

    I was in Kerry fado fado, and found some letters in the carpark space beside me. Anyway, got to where I was staying and they knew the lad, so he turned up for them a while later. Big smiley red head on him and from the minute I opened the door to the minute I closed the door I did not take in one word ever that he said, no comprende senoir, may as well have been Chinese, felt like a right plank nodding and smiling and an immense sense of relief when he took his mail and went :D

    Uh oh, I'm in trouble. Unplugged the electric blanket last night to plug in the laptop. Swear I had it plugged in again but apparently I plugged in the bedside lamp instead.

    I have just been informed from upstairs of my mistake :D

    Anyone hear any more news on the height regulations regarding the transport of hay/straw.
    Phoned a guy that we deal with to get a delivery of straw and the prices are gone through the roof because he can now only take two row.
    I thought the IFA were supposed to be doing something about it but the guy said nothing has happened :mad:

    i still see 3 row high loads going out of Wexford, so it looks like it is not being enforced

    Did you see Ear To The Ground last night. There was an old character on it ploughing with horses. He bought the horses in France. He learned the commands in French, Left Right Stop etc but they couldn't understand his Ardee accident.:D

    what do people do that are over 40? life must be SOOOO boring when your that age.

    Who knows. I do think it's after 40 the collection of baling twine starts. And never throwing out fertiliser bags....

    Happy belated birthday Biddy, hope you had a good one :)

    Always are after first time training but don't give up, it gets very addictive when the fitness rises and you start feeling grippy if ya don't train, plus it gives ya more points on the auld weight watchers menu ;)
