however i'm a bit disappointed he didn't attempt the 'christmas quiz'
With it all fresh in his mind, it should have been a 'walk in the park' for him.

I did think about asking him to do it, but by the time I looked, he'd whizzed past @carbonfibre farmer 's birthday and was well into the new year :facepalm:

It must be a quiet time of year, workwise, over at McCullagh Towers.
:playful: :playful:

knackered last night.....had chased up abattoir cos i had tot up and they were ,i thought, a bit behind......anyhoo coupla cheques arrived today and my 'tot up' reasoned more than i thought:love:......about enough extra to pay for a contract plough'er:love:

so apart from mart run and essential services it was a rest day....do no harm :)

busy at mart today.....got que jumped by a the kinda person that takes no heed of those around him....actually almost dinged my trailer slightly backing up...i didn't fuss......i was in a good mood:)... ..there was elderly couple behind ....they started backing into a bay not used....i approached and advised and once our que jumper departed, i unloaded, saw him backing up.....his frail wife bent over hobbling to move a gate slightly intervened :)

so my 'good mood'.....i had a 'plan' for the vegans on the way in.....i stopped...poured myself a cuppa and ,if i was going to be photographed, 'dressed up' :)
