Waking up this morning to find my chest infection is back with a vengeance Glad I got some more pills off the Dr yesterday now!

After being off all week with a virus I had to nip to the yard tonight to show someone how to use my tractor so got a few updated pictures of the shed......

Just had a parcel arrived with my garden seeds for this year to find I have more than I ordered. I've used a new company this year who supply the market growers as the seed shoud be better quality and it is vastly cheaper than the garden suppliers. It now seems that I have enough sweetcorn seed to supply a whole village as they didn't have the small 500 seed packet I ordered they sent a 2500 seed packet free of charge at a cost of £12.60 to themselves......result! Sweetcorn seed anyone

Congratulations Will!

More like commiserations with those prizes David

Not going to be a mobile weighing platform is it Marky?

Much wrong with it Chris?

Can't help you with that one then I'm afraid, bit out of our area. The yard at work already has one caravan in it and building work going on at the moment so we wouldn't be able to accomodate you anyway. Could try ringing a machinery dealer in that area (Stalham Engineering) and they may be able to suggest someone

Plenty of Caravan Club sites around in the Ingham area Nick, on the North Norfolk coast so a popular destination, should be able to find details through their website. I know there is at least one in the neighbouring village to me but I'm 30 miles away heading back towards the Kings Lynn direction

Anyone else remember the "Micro Tris" discussion we had a while back at one of the shows ;D

You might be able to tender to your local council for footpath mowing, you would need a vehicle to move it about with though as quadbike attachments aren't designed to be hauled about on the road alot.

Congratulations Ben and Julie

As for what I've been up to today, I've spent all day in bed suffering from a raging temperature, aching body and nasty cough, it seems my workmate has shared his virus with me this week. Very unlike me to need to lay in bed all day, would be nice to just escape getting these viruses for one whole year but I guess thats the problem of having a weak chest and low immune system

The last picture was taken at 3pm, it should take them about a week to get it up.

The steelwork contractors started to erect the framework for the new store first thing this morning so I've been taking a few pictures as the day progressed

Wind turbines are getting very popular up this way too, particularly the off shore ones. There was talk of putting a wind farm up in this village which caused quite a stir but I personally have nothing against them. Having worked next to them in the past they aren't noisey and I don't think they are an eyesore. Just for fun I have recently told the village gossip that we will be errecting two as part of our potato store plans, that should get the NIMBY's fired up ;D

225? Try 260 bhp ;D The joys of being a young driver

You'd be surprised, that was actually over £600 cheaper for him to insure than the Focus ST he had before it.

Renault Megane II ph.II 3 door Dymanique, with certain specs on it.. Seems to be impossible! :'(

Not wanting the Renault Sport version then Blake.....my mate has one and boy does that shift ;D

Not sure that it would be worth your while to do Alex, there's so many of them about at varying prices that unless you can find a duff one at rock bottom prices you may struggle to turn a profit on it, particularly if it turns out the head requires attention once you have it apart as well.

Not exactly a buy but £50 insurance excess.........had a stone hit my Discovery's windscreen and put a bullseye in it, wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't damaged the heated windscreen elements in the process so new windscreen needed

Andy, you need the Golf back again : I could always sell you a Mondeo diesel if you want.........(adopts fake Spanish accent) ......special price for you!

One carefull owner, all blue lights and radio equipment removed? :D

I think we could debate all night about the current economic climate r.e. jobs, and I could post some things about the NHS which have made me very sad in recent weeks, Especially when they effect close family, but I'll refrain and move to something more light hearted! My poor mazda 6 estate is poorly again. It seems to have a continued bad case of flatulence with regular plums of black smoke covering the car behind in the face. Poor thing! Won't be long before it's put down I'm sure!

If its a diesel I'd get it looked at quickly as I know of a few people who've had cars do that to them only for the turbo to go bang not long afterwards. It could also be a faulty fuel pump solenoid, had a demo tractor do that to me, it just started belching out clouds of black smoke and was told that was the cause..

hi paul, we are in the scheme that allows us to cut hedges between 1'st august to 31'st of february.

I didn't know there was a 31st of February Chris ;D ;D

Now as much as I used to love hedge cutting (we use a contractor here now) thats the one thing I don't miss about it!!

what is your spraying tractor gav?

John Deere 6420s Paul, lift arm cross shaft and bushes are knackered on it......typical John Deere, thats the fourth and final one we've had done in the past 3 years now, first was my old 6920s @ 4000hrs then the 6910 @ 6800hrs, the 6810 @ 9000hrs just before Christmas and now this one @ 3600hrs. Each time the bill has been between £2000 and £3000!!

As for what annoyed me today, we lost a fourth calf last night during birth, this one drowned in its own fluid bag, boss missed it by 5 minutes. We've had to pull two more today from heifers. Seriously reconsidering the use of AI in future as we never had this much trouble using our own bull on the heifers

Thats just madness Chris, its not as if the plant would be needing it or able to take it up while its as cold as its been either, some people have no patience when it comes to that sort of thing! No doubt we'll be putting the first dose of liquid N on in the next couple of weeks once the spraying tractor is back with us after being repaired
