Born early this morning and already smiling. Must be part polar bear.
As a youngster I once had to change a back tyre on our Fordson Major at the top of this steep field, all went well until unloading the fixed wheel I let it get away from me, it sailed down across the field, hit the hedge at the bottom, flew into the air, cleared the wires on the electric poles & road & landed in the garden below hitting the house wall facing us, 4 feet to the right of a conservatory & three feet to the left of the back door to the passage right through the house.
I stood & watched horrified as the owner opened the door thinking someone had knocked & then closed it again thinking he'd misheard, worse still my father was inside having a cup of tea with the nice old chap who owned the house, I aged a few years that day I can tell you!

Going out to the calving shed with that sinking feeling that the old girl who has been making a fuss (but no juices or bag) for several hours will keep me up late.
another 10 seconds and the calf was on the ground shaking its head.

Just in case you are wondering it was the field in the picture & the field is steep, boy does a back wheel pick up speed fast & really fly when it hits a hedge.As a youngster I once had to change a back tyre on our Fordson Major at the top of this steep field, all went well until unloading the fixed wheel I let it get away from me, it sailed down across the field, hit the hedge at the bottom, flew into the air, cleared the wires on the electric poles & road & landed in the garden below hitting the house wall facing us, 4 feet to the right of a conservatory & three feet to the left of the back door to the passage right through the house.

Came in this evening to find that one of the cats has been his usual busy self
His more lazy brother saw me putting it outside so decided to go out as well. He came back in 20 minutes later, I think we can guess what he did with the rabbit

Ours brings in a live mouse as a gift at just past 10pm most nights & then lets the damm things go, you try catching a live mouse in the house whilst wife screams blue murder.

Our cat does that.
And the wife screams the place down. This seems to encourage the cat to do it more often

We have equipment to deal with loose mice, but you have to be quick.Our cat does that.

Then take them out on the lawn, pursued by the cat and release them, lock the cat flap on the way in.
