TBH my Edinburgh schedule is unlikely to include HN, so you're probably alright, parading around in your new boots or not

Funnily enough when I got back another farmer friend had been in and suffered the same fate before me
Maybe he’d upset them!

You want to accept your lowly station in life and stick to the boozers in Rose street!

A lad I know would start the day on T1, by the end of the day it was T3, occasionally T4. We kept telling him he’d end up diabetic! Not started yet!

I hope you got all those out of one tea bag !

Stock farming especially has a huge variation, it’s rare I go more than an hour doing the same job, even if it’s dosing etc a group need taking out and bringing back in so something different all the time. I used to plough for 16 hr days at a time, start 2am, at least half of the day would be in darkness then so less depressing than staring at the far hedge all day gaining 2.5m each pass. Same with drilling too mind. Spraying and Forager were ok as it was a new field/landscape every 15-30 minutes. Couldn’t go back to full time ploughing and drilling now though

When we were lads silaging was like that with the trailed foragers, was a real novelty if you got a change of field in the day,
Nowadays a full farm is done in 6 or 7 hours.

We had the old strautmann pickup boxes before the foragers it was a novelty to keep them going a day without a breakdown

No! Last time I was up went to the rugby, had a good day out. Some of them were a bit slow getting the round in. If the Edinburgh day oot was a goer, I wouldn't want to be hearing any excuses about you being an impoverished Co Durham (?) hill farmer!

Well I am an impoverished hill farmer I will come as long as I’m not on one of my holidays!

FFS, well I wouldn't expect you to make any major sacrifices like keeping your ginger lunatics short of barley for a few hours

Got a real treat for a Sunday 280 welshies to shear, mates at a stag do at highland show (that I should be on as well) so I'm on my own. If they are fit they are best shearing but if they are brokers and lean its going to be a hard day.
I used to try and shear for 4/5 hours then have a break but went off with some real shearers (50/60 hour ones) and learnt it better to go well for 2 hour runs and have 20 mins break.
