diary of a comedy sheep farm

[Peckerhead]

HMmm....could be on to something there 'amy the accountant'....'thetford forest secretarial and ancillary services'

back to my 'horse ploughing'.....i've a 3 furrow plough and travel at 6km/hr averaging 1.1ac/hr......field was 11ac so took ne 10 hrs.....trouble was getting those 10hrs is an effort by the time i've looked after admiral....fettled sheep (though checking is K principle job)......dealt with any nags....or other issues.......i managed 1/2hr wednesday....4hrs thursday/friday and 1 1/2 hrs sat to finish

my day starts between 7-8 am......admiral is 1 1/2 hours morning....other stuff can fill in gap til 11am.....if lucky i can get 2hrs in field before lunch...i stop for an hour and can fall asleep.....2pm back out but have to knock off 4pm to settle admiral (3:30 if i'm offsite).......finish at 5pm by which time i'm often to knacked to carry on......unless baling/harvesting/lambing etc......i also have to try to keep 'summat in tank' cos i never know if admiral going to have an episode in night....this is 7 days a week

i don't read farming press ...it demoralises me.....supermen farmers doing this/that...output/yield......i have nothing in common with them ....this isn't a 'poor me' post as i suspect there are a good many with similar/worse issues to me

And your writing career,your an artieeest daaaahrling!

And the accountant Robbie has a thing about is Amanda,but probably only at weekends! (This won't make any sense if u didn't catch his original post pre edit,but the diary is making ground on its equality and diversity targets now thanks to his presence)

I am glad it’s not just me that can’t get more than a few hours at one job with out being disturbed by the needs of something or someone! When these lads have to keep as many balls rolling at the same time that we do they will understand!

I always thought our Spin had got his monicker from some sort of 'washing machine' incident but now I realise it's from keeping 'all those plates up in the air'.

Yes but even when u have got a pint in your hand I find it's worth checking for dangly bits before u start

you blame 'auto correct' for everything...i might try it .....'sorry my tax return is late...the auto correct went wrong'

all proper farmers know 'wavy ploughing' increases surface area....and you could pull a wooden spoon through your dirt and get a seedbed

If the ploughings done right I don't even need the wooden spoon not convinced about the increased surface area idea either next you'll be telling me it's not level to get more weather on it and the hog troughs at the ends and on the scoots are some special SNOT deterrent!!!!!!!

Poor old spin, not only was his 3 legged hoss on a go slow the quality of his work is now being brought into question!!!!!!!!

How it went in spinneys mind.

How it really went!!!!!!!!




Don't get the hump spinney, were only pulling you leg!!!!!

 

[Peckerhead]

What croc Dundee style!!!!!!!

It might not get u the most value for money from your accountant but it would save u any Micky taking from us!!

I don't think there is such a thing as value from an accountant, they think of a number double it add a bit more and then send the invoice!!!!

You should have been enjoying your date night rather than replying on here......With the lovely Mrs Robbie!

 

[robbie]

I was and I did enjoy it very much but I couldn't resist a sneaky look on here.......it was safer to look on here than at the crumpet standing Infront of me at the bar while I waited to get served......there's method in my madness....I think
