Nice day Sunday, most of yesterday was ok but some real nasty showers. Always seems to wet it an unbelievable amount in such a short space of time. Long range is saying the rest of the month like it.

Someone kindly reminded me we could well be looking at grass in 4-5 weeks….. however, looking at it might be all we are able to do…. Got 4-5 weeks worth of work to do before I even want to think about it….

All over the bloody place. Cold, rain, warm sun, dark, hail, rain, sun…. Running out of dry and clean work gear.

Raining, dark, raining, thundering, raining, hailing, raining, blowing, did I mention raining?

So it was meant to rain from 11am and pish down from 2/3pm. Nothing all day. Reckons it’s emptying down all day tomorrow.

Got in a field for the 2nd time in 2 weeks yesterday. Won’t do that for at least another week now by the looks.

Surely if they have less in the barrow or a barrow of fluffy stuff they will end up either going back for another barrow load because the loose isn’t going as far or lasting as long than if they had just taken a few slices like normal? If the straw is costing you more you’re gonna have to...

Can’t tell you how well worth having the CVX is. Totally worth the money, which I didn’t think really was a huge amount more nowadays?

Absolutely soaking again. So much heavy rain and more to come.

For about 20mins this morning it was like a proper early spring day. It’s then rained most of the day and absolutely pished it down since about 5pm. More coming in the early hours.

Rained this morning, ok now, going to pish down this afternoon for a few hours. Forecast more pish down tomorrow afternoon and early hours Friday, then more rain Saturday night.

Summer 2022 we were told longer hotter drier summers were expected to be the norm…. How was summer 2023 for everyone….
