    Mental health

    Obviously I don't know your situation but do you take time out on the farm or countryside, Walking a dog, going for a paddle in a stream, watching at the birds and anything else that you wouldn't normally do could give you time to relax and clear your mind.

    Nhs vs private health care

    I do this with my dogs. £60 a month in a old coffee tin and never touch it. It's the amount they wanted for 2 collies but I feel slightly smug in the feeling that I still have the money rather than the insurance company. I suppose the method I use is only any good once you have a bulging tin...

    Change of career.

    Bit of a spin on this. I fix trains and would love to have been a farmer! Suppose I will just keep " hobby farming" until I win the lottery (that I don't actually do)

    What to do 🤦‍♂️ So tight they squeak

    I don't know much about owt but be careful your not in position as a fall guy, if people under your control are using equipment thats not up to standard and the worse did happen HSE would leave no stone unturned and the boss would probably be able to distance himself.
