I was thinking of you Roy and the Lightfoots a couple of months back when I took these pics.

Dunno why people always go on about the high cost of food ( in various “discussions” about agricultural subsidies, some have told me that our food is much more expensive than in the UK - based on a few weeks holiday or backpacking ?? 🤷‍♂️ - & that’s why UK Ag needs subsidies to keep food affordable. Anyway, that’s another subject, but it’s a theme & comment that keeps getting thrown at me, Australian food is sooo much dearer than UK . . . ), all these ingredients were purchased from a large chain supermarket, cost less than $30, probs nearer to $20 ( a carton of beer is around $50 & a takeaway coffee is $5 ) & will feed the 3 of us for 2 nights.

the bottle of Shiraz cost $20 😁

I dunno how you lot can ever wear gumboots ( wellies ) all day every day.

I’ve been wearing them for about 2 hours in the morning since Saturday. I can’t wait to change back into my work boots each day.
After 2 days they’d worn the hair off my legs & left a red welt in my calves. By now, that welt is starting to callous . . .
Thank god I’ve only got one more morning left

Hairless calves is the farmer's livestock farmner's equivalent of the salesman's tan :ROFLMAO:

I don't wear them. Lace up boots year round. Currently using dedito, and getting on very well with them.
