Is anybody else really struggling with 2019 so far!?

[Doing it for the kids]

Is it just me!?

No one or anything seems to be going to plan. People aren’t dong what was agreed,

Courier’s get lost and just can’t do as promised

Tricky tenants, kit breaking down, now a water leak meaning a new pipe through 100 m of hard dig.

Not a great start to the year. I’m normally upbeat but i have lost my mojo so far this year.

Can I blame Brexit!?

 

[Rossymons]

People not returning phone calls. In touch with 6 people this week, all have had messages left.

First one calls back this morning.

Useless. It's rude more than anything.

Yes that too. Make a deal, shake hands and 2 months later dragging their heels whilst other still keen.

I need to stop being so kind

He has been quiet, he was almost as annoying as fallowtwit

The off-farm jobbette has gone very odd. All or nothing, and frequently requests to be in two places at once - or nothing heard for weeks.

I am blaming the B— word

My phone never stopped last Wednesday as people came back to work from 2/3 weeks off I tried to explain that I had never had a day off as the wheels of agriculture don’t stop for Christmas holidays

So far 2019 hasn't been too bad. Having said that, 2017 and 2018 were two years of pretty constant tragedy and stress; one thing after another. It was all starting to wear me down a bit to be honest.

Hoping for a more settled period in 2019, in all aspects of life.

Wasn't going too bad until we found a previously blooming in-calf heifer dead in the yard mid morning, still warm, silage still in her mouth, no signs of any struggle or trauma, presume heart attack or similar.

in answer to the OP
yes
its just a continuation of last year with no end in sight . . .

I am keen as mustard to get cracking with more academic study, been in limbo since end of play last year really.

We seem to have a black cloud over us at the moment, my cousin died suddenly before Christmas and mum has been knocked back by an infection which led to her seeing rabbits on her bed and Willie Nelson visiting her at night. we lost our old Jack Russel and our pet Dartmoor sheep who lived in the garden within a short time and no-one seems to be bothered about selling us things- the fence posts I ordered on the 4th Dec still haven't appeared in spite of calls and promises. And I have to finish selling the cows as the landlord is taking all the grazing land back at the end of March.
Other than that, though, mustn't grumble,

Are you still in drought?

 

[Farmer Roy]

yes

 

[ARW]

I’m not moaning but...
Moving house, farm, business the lot, along with keeping the fencing gang moving, hedgecutter running, our few sheep starting to lamb and a litter of 10 pups we have time for nothing. I’ve had to buy a notepad, the phone rings, if I don’t write it down it’s forgotten, mental capacity is full, office work heaping up, I’m praying for a wet week, stop working elsewhere and clean out our old yard and try and catch up!

 

[carbonfibre farmer]

In answer to the op, yes.

2019 pretty sh1t so far.

 

[glasshouse]

2019 is looking good so far.
Never seen january so dry.
Limespreaders out, muck going out without a mark on the land.
