sunday thru wednesday
buggered meself saturday....but still worked sunday
..... monday morning was manic.....wind had caught a door on our oldest barn....nasty split but was 'stitch in time territory' thankfully......the barn is very old....my grandfather bought it and moved it from langham airfield after the war......one of my earliest memories is seeing it full...row upon row of corn sacks... it's still very useful...fert arrived mid repair.....got pen in lambing shed ready and last of the ewes brought in.... two lots....main 'horde' then admiral and K went back for stragglers
SO....when we brought the ewe lambs off tack we had a little trouble catching the last few....in the end i took a couple of old culls over and used them as 'judas goats'.....remember?.....anyhoo i'd not got the culls back out......just before lunch i found 'exhibit A'
i'm mystified how she found a ram in September cos all three where were they shoulda been
.......MEANWHILE...on sunday boy had stripped down their washing machine ....changed the bearings but had broken his 10mm socket reassembling (cheap tesco effort).....i had been detailed to drop another round en route to my 'weekly wit mechanic'......then i got a text and email from my leccy supplier telling me i'd cancelled our DD...i must phone to reinstate and they were going to charge £39 for the priviledge ......i knew i'd cancelled the DD of course and had already emailed them telling them why ......i ran late and by the time i arrived at the 'mechanic's i was harassed/tired and fed up
tuesday
still tired/fed up i 'crawled' thru the morning..... littered down all the sheep pens then set to work crunching the leccy bills.....i know i made the original mistake but i've been trying to fix it since september 23 ffs.....i reckon i've overpaid by about £600 but they'll no doubt ignore my submissions and ask for £4k (which is what it looks like with my original faux pas)....that is why i cancelled our DD.....i also crunched my tenants electric bill...it looked like she had substantial arrears AND i had to break news of a hefty rent increase (not been raised in 10 years ).....THEN i suddenly realised i'd not done VAT and deadline looming
lunch.....headache...coupla paracetemol....nap.....PSM got working....things started to turn.....PSM realised vat return not due til enda month....worked out tenants arrears not as bad ....and i'm 'playing' it just about right with our dozy leccy supplier
back at the farm....check lamb has sucked....meet tenant with 'bad news' but she's fine....can afford the increase so that's a relief
wednesday
k had day off cos her daughters 18th b'day......admiral and i do the chores....she drives mule around whilst i feed...gives her somat to do......resta morning i'm finally back on the 'alcove' which is taking longer than first planned......decent progress though.....had a long lunch and biita rest/calm down in afternoon
