Absolutely cream crackered here.
Up at half five to bring eldest lass to Bangor to swim competition.

Back home and she was in a band concert tonight so had to enjoy that too.

Finally got fed and a few beers.

I swear, a day farming would have been a doddle !!

Were you doing it for the bus or the lorry? We never covered that in the bus ones

Neither, Muckit, it was run in the local hall to train anyone who came along. Three de fib mahines around the town area, good to know how to use them.

It's allot better than when I was in wa, no daylight saveings, you'd have a 40oc day bright as, then pitch dark at 7:30 in the evening. It would drive you mad. Ha

Sad day here. I rolled over my 13 year old dog and best friend yesterday. Made him as comfortable as possible last night. Brought kids down to talk to him and he knew!!!

Was up at 5 this am to check him, he looked at me and said I'm bet. Off to the vet after the jobs and spare the poor old guy.

Very sad

Our dog here died two yrs ago. Grew up withbhim since I was a toddler. He Was 18 yrs old. He was a sheepdog cross boxer and never missed a thing. He just ended up failing in his last week. The night he died we knew he wouldn't be around for much longer. He was out in the garden barley able to walk so we went out to pick him up. No way. He wasn't going to be carried.

Have a Japanese Anita now crossed with a lab. A pure child but it will be a sad sad day when he goes.
Never leaves my fathers side and the two never stop playing.

You can't beat a dog for a bit of company

Talking to Dad about the hay this morning and he was saying about the "three stone bale", said I'd weigh one of the bales we got yesterday, 45 pound weight

Fecking fox carried a half twin lamb last night. The other morning I found a lamb with his head eaten off. Dont think a fox mink r badger would do that. Maybe a dog?

I bloody wish, have been off booze last few weeks, between one thing and another the morning chores are taking about 4hrs, not a hope I'd survive that with a hangover, if I did I'd be sure to make some major cockup ha!
