diary of a comedy sheep farm

[spin cycle]

tuesday/wednesday/thursday

pretty much all the same.....usual chores plus carting out muck......10 trailers of horse and 10 trailers of sheep so far from lambing shed.....can't believe how much muck my sheep make....i'm sure i've mucked out this shed this year once already

anyway i calculate each trailer load equivalent to a 'bag' of npk 21/9/18 so pondering cutting the actual bagged stuff down a tad

got results for lambs i sold dwt last week...£116/hd after deductions....so beat mart by £16/hd.....although these were conc finished as opposed to straight off grass .....with a dodgy weigher

in other news....back in early sept 2020.....mrs spin and i had two days down in suffolk organised by HH who also organised us a trip to a pottery in leiston where we made some pots.....we had to leave them there to be 'kilned' and never got back to collect so eventually we had them posted....my efforts

...BUT....cinders went to a pony show with strwbs and mrs spin just picked her up from farm.......reports a strange 'contraption' near yard gate......suspect someone been pranking

Intriguing

I suppose we'll have to wait for tomorrow's installment to learn more

Can't think who'd be responsible for such a prank

I just wanna know do the mugs hold water.......pic held above head for proof

SOooo.....i came in from work....posted on a thread....ate tea.....went to change......thought 'that bed looks comfy'......got in and slept til 9pm .......BUT....cinders went to a pony show with strwbs and mrs spin just picked her up from farm.......reports a strange 'contraption' near yard gate......suspect someone been pranking

bit confused by 'sex on legs' as way yorkie comes to farm he doesn't need to drive past 'miss aprils' house

Did you leave the hay delivery man unattended?!?!?
In my previous career as one of they I would abandon bales literally anywhere if the buyer didn’t come and give me a hand. You probably won’t be able to find SMEG for the wall of bales in the morning. Better eat your Weetabix

I'd be more concerned about Strawbs in 'damsel in distress' mode and needing a hand.....

OK readers, prepare for a dearth of diary entries in the run up to Spin's asignation with Minny on Feb 1st.

He'll obviously have to spend a considerable amount of time tarting himself up having a make-over in preparation for their tete a tete.

It'll obviously involve numerous trips to the Turkish Barber's and at least one to Saville Row as he tries to shake off his 1960's 'gangster look'.

It's good to see that Narfuk's premier sheep farmer has been selected to meet the leader.
In the meantime we should all think of suitable ELMS/climate change/ag policy questions that the intrepid diarist can put to Minny - after all she does have the ear of Boris (mind you, that's about all that's left of him as Cummings et al appear to have him 'by the boll@cks', but that's another story).

Do you think he'll make it on the first or will he still be sorting out the entangled contraption someone left him with.

temptation got the better of you?

SOoo....aforementioned 'passage' is small lean to near strawbs' barn which yorkie ,very thoughtfully, put 20 conventional bales in to keep dry
