    Have been noticing a strong smell of ration/meal/nuts, whatever you call it at work and at the house over the hot spell. Neither place has ration or anything like it nearby. Anyone else getting that smell? Could it be related to the hot spell??

    Spent the day in A&E with daughter. If the illness didn't get ya the heat definitely would. and she couldn't eat/drink in case it was her appendix! Home about an hour and both of us killed out - a day on the tractor would have been preferable. She's okay but it will take me the rest of the week to get over it!

    Quick one. If a dealer swapped a cow with a farmer, can the dealer do everything online?
    Was told he could.

    I see other people on the weather forum are getting the same smell too.
    The possibility they came to is cooking tree sap with the heat.

    We had a group of Latvian farmers on tour yesterday. So I took a little break while I was heading down the field, I stopped in the gap which is surrounded by trees, it’s nice and shady and I got much the same funny smell. I thought I was either losing it or it was from my pipe.
    Yee both have solved the mystery.

    Checked cows on the outfarm this morning and they had the drinker pucked down the field, ballcock off but the arm wasn't snapped which was very strange. Very thirsty too but water running into the gripe from the pipe off the joint.

    And what had the fcukers done. Restricted the water supply and told the houses, not the farms. There's a chap that rings us giving out of we have a leak even for half a day. He'll get rightly fcuked out of it next time he rings :mad:

    The local water pump installer supposedly here is run off his feet with enquiries about people looking to get off the group water scheme in this weather.



    This is an incredible story that should be in the I bet you didn't know that thread but sure anyways it's an amazing story about the life of Charles Hatfield the American "Rainmaker".

    We've the well here on the homefarm but just use the scheme up there for summer grazing. Just really bloody annoying that they critisise us for a leak and then they go and do something like that which could have caused serious issues with stock. And they'll have no issue ending out the bill :rolleyes:

    Check on your elderly neighbours. This weather is nearly harder on them than the snow and ice

    Passed an oldish a few times today building a stone wall. Bought him a magnum(shop sold out of choc ices and icebergers) he nearly hugged me when I gave it to him. I’d say he was hardly given a glass of water by the people in the house he was working on.

    My eldest sister is home from uk for her hen. We never thought she would get married. It was her birthday last week so the small girls wanted to have a surprise party for her. BBQ and finally got flag out.

    Spent the last 5 nights up in Antrim and I must say it’s a beautiful county.

    We stayed in a campsite right on the edge of Bushmills town, fantastic place.

    Some savage tracts of land to be seen.

    Beautiful coastline.

    Along with the usual things we did “The Gobbins” cliff walk. It’s a Victorian attraction that was rebuilt and reopened in 2014, it’s an attraction to rival the Causeway or Carrick a Rede Rooe bridge, just less heard of.

    You wouldn’t have been far from McNaughtens estate Brian. Savage ground, makes close on £500 /acre a year for rent for spuds. Jalex tried to buy it few years ago but Randox bought it at about £3mill.

    Young lad up the road is helping out at home while we are away. His driving test was booked for 3pm yesterday. He sat in the room waiting to be called. After a while he enquired what the story was. The tester called in sick yesterday morning and he wasn't notified that his test was cancelled. He now has to reapply. That's a load of crap
