What's the secret to living with an unhappy Mrs? I don't think it's possible.

Kept cows in today, don't think they'll be out again, raining sideways here at the minute. Plenty of grass about as long as ground stays dry. Been a great grass year at Slemish, milk price at 35p before Christmas to put the icing on the cake.
