smithy

Granddaughter Grace been splitting fire wood for me ,had loads of customers calling in just laterly buying bags of wood 

Thats my clock sorted out for rest of the year 😂

Took a call from Goody last week ,as i am limited on what i can do at moment he said he got a large collection of brocures to pick up in the spalding area so if he picked me up would i like to ride up with him on saturday to get them and also we could pop in for the first half of the M&M Auction and then go on to pick up his brocures ,had a few bids on items which someone went one more on but did get these 2 items .My granddaughter Grace (14) likes building things including flat packed furniture so i have given them to her to have a go at 😃

Had a bit of a sort out on caps and woolie hats the other day there is 54 hats on the table all with agriculture names on them that i have collected up .I have given them away to be sold and money donated to 2 or 3 charities ,they wont make a fortune but every little helps so they say .

My old mate Eric that i bring up has a automatic ford fusion so i plan on driving  that up as dr said thats ok as only need right leg so yes unless i do somthing else in the meantime will hopfully see you there 

Not farm or construction but my mates down at the forge often call me up and say Thunder Bird 2 can you help us out which i normally try to so i bought my own transport 😂

Just a update foot is still tender and swelling is slowly going down ,big toe hurts a tiny bit ,it was 13 days ago i did it but feels like weeks as cant get on like i would like to ,good thing is i have had 2or 3 good mates drive me around last few days so i can get to Drs etc 

On friday i had my combine man call in to check over/service machine ,this rear beater belt had a few cracks in it would propably be ok for another year but its easer to change now than out in field so new belt been fitted ,other belts all ok ,he should be back monday to put everything back together and then change oil and filters

Some old tin sheets I had put up on my bottom shed. Nothing fancy but keeps the weather out 

Every little helps ,so i am told 

Looks a good spot there paul and fish & chips look tasty . them tractors do look in good shape ,the little Leyland , a mate of mine was salesman at Collings Brothers at Abbotsley  until about 1 year ago ,i bought my Kuhn hay mower and a second hand 12 ton trailer of him while he was there 

My mate nipped up farm yesterday to help out ,he had welded this together a few weeks back so gave it a first coat of paint will give it a 2nd coat one day next week ,the bar is going along the bottom as a ware edge ,it was this bit that i dropped on my left foot ,on the lookout for a thick bit of rubber to put along bottom behind that front edge . As for me i had abusy day sitting in armchair in barn eating jaffa cakes and drinking coffee watching my mate 🤣😂👍

Wishing you a speedy recovery! 

I dropped a can of household polish on my toe, which split the nail underneath so kept pieceing the nailbed and causing it to bleed for months - took over a year for the nail to fully grow out - hopefully you recover quicker than I do!

They are saying 6-8 weeks for bone to heal ,not sure how long it will take for skin to grow back ,allow the steel missed my nail they say it will come off due to shock 

Picked these up the other day

does that also mean no tractor work as well then smithy ?? 

Yes at the moment as cant safely push clutch pedal down ,i can cheat in tractor as i could push it down with other foot to activate the gearbox because its all on a shuttle lever under steering wheel for forward or backwards and a button for gears but if i needed clutch in a emergency i would have a job to push it down at the same time as braking with right leg . Nurse said today if i had a automatic car i would be ok as only need right leg    

Just a update on foot/big toe , been back to drs and had it dressed for 2nd time ,nurse was happy that i have kept it clean but it was still bleeding a tiny bit ,foot and other toes are coming out in bruise which she said they call it shock bruising ,i am walking better as long as its flat ground ,still cant push clutch pedal down in van so no driving at the moment   

Picked this up other day DB Cropmaster not sure on maker ,dont think scaledown did them

ouch smithy, just got the freedom back after the step daughter was ok’d to drive after she dod here a few weeks back(5 now) ,spent most of it doing school runs, dancing lessons, birthday partys, the list was long and time was short. have they stopped you driving then ??

Did not say about driving but said go home and rest it for a few days and keep it clean as with the big bit of skin they took of it was more likely to get a infection , got a nurse going to dress it friday morning . I did drive home last night but had hell of a job pushing clutch pedal down . My mate broke his leg last year but because it was his left one they said he could drive a automatic as only needed right leg ,but no he could not drive a manual car for 8-10 weeks
