Finally finished putting up a 25 metre chain-link fence I've been struggling with.

Thanks both Bobs!

fed cows, then .. stirring slurry till milking time

If you leave slurry to settle without stirring does it thicken so as to become "un-pumpable" (for want of a better word)?

My (new) front left tyre is deflating at about 7psi a day and I've just discovered a ruddy great nail protruding from it!   

Getting an expensive roll of pvc-coated chainlink fence tangled up. Tomorrow's a new day I suppose and I'll see what I can do but it looks like I'll be buying yet more of the wretched stuff to complete the fence   

Fair to Good?

 

What do you think?

Ha! Looks about as "fair to good" as my mate's 784.

Fantastic weather today here in Gloucestershire, really nice, shame I was spending it digging over a garden bed   

today i was working, cutting cauliflower seed from the stem with a petrol hedge trimmer, so that other workers can pick it up and put it into boxes. Next thing im pulling the trimmer out of my leg and on the way to the hospital, 20 stitches later and another appointment to make on monday to check the wound for infection and rotting dead flesh.

Holy cow Jan, ouch!     

h-m-o? h.omo??

I was invited to a lovely lunch at the Petersham Hotel in Richmond.

Cat Challenger on a low loader just leaving Lister

Crosscutting logs then filling in my tax return

..... and on top of that, a 3.30 finish! Lasagne in the oven, wine corked and now out with Zia. Only just got dark properly too. Oh and before anyone says it..... Not a flipping processed lasagne either, none of that muck...... Wouldn't want to end up in..... Wait for it, this is a goodun..... Ready? HORSPITAL!!! Oh my days!

Just awful, gag-inducing....    Ah where's the vomit smilie?

Having to send off for yet another authentication code to enable me to fill in my tax return

Quality, that looks ace Phil. Wish I had kept up with my mountain biking. Come to think of it, I wish I'd kept my mountain bike!

Same here, I haven't got on a bike for 15 years   

Everything looks to be in good-very good condition, but that valuing does look a tad optimistic   

That little beauty! 

It's coming down as rain now and freezing upon hitting the ground.

Yet another 5" with no sign of it stopping

I hope it doesn't rain here, we've spent the day gritting the hill.

Clearing snow and putting down salt then a test drive up the hill.

The pallets look really tidy, they have a nice weather-beaten/battered look to them. Crates are great too!

She was having a right go at him when he was sending the sheep to market, poor chap   

Paid off though didn't it? 

On a side note I've just discovered George's uncle (who was once part of his Dad's farming partnership) is a friend of a friend 

Second episode of this series on young farmers was shown today (8pm channel 4). Anyone else following this?

Pleased to hear George Forbes, 24, a sheep farmer near Cheltenham, was also a keen carpet farmer when he was younger and opened an old trunk full of Britains and Siku toys! One was an old Britains TM 165, which he drives for real.

Amazing news for you Harry
