... make me look forward to retiring.
05.15 Text message from son. Dead heifer and borehole failing so no water to wash parlour
05.20 start reading TB skin test under “severe interpretation”
06.00 heavy rain shower
08.30 Andy the pump turns up to investigate
09.00-10.00 boys have to power wash parlour rather than volume wash
10.00 ministry turn up
10.30 ministry are satisfied but tell us we have to test again in 60 days despite having tested in early January also under severe interpretation. Bright spot is the test is clear with no IRs
11.00 Andy finds problem. Joint is bunged solid with hard water deposit and grit from when the builder “found” the pipe. However Andy tells us our system is not fit for purpose any longer and urgently needs upgrading
Midday paperwork
13.00-15.30 terrier is missing and there is fresh newly laid concrete
13.30 postie brings mail. Bills mainly but also a disappointing milk cheque as it is a short month
14.30 email from Ian Potter suggesting further price cuts in the offing because UK is producing too much milk.
16.00 cow dies of ecoli mastitis
16.50 in for a brew to build strength before baby sitting grandchildren as missus has done a runner
No doubt there will be something else before sleep
