things that make you smile

I shouldn't have laughed, but I simply could not help myself, as I arrived at a job this morning, not in the best of spirits, due to the unexpected very wet start.....my hapless employee was standing at the field entrance to see me in....at that point he promptly fell in the adjacent ditch! ....as he rolled around in the bottom like a beached whale, engulfed by brambles and nettles, I almost split me sides laughing

That brightened up a fairly miserable start

Mate, I would if I could, I hit the brakes and went for the phone, but he clocked me laughing and going for it, I was just not quick enough on the draw....I will try harder next time....

I never even got a pic of him falling over crossing the road on Wednesday morning, didn't even see it....that must have looked like Bluebird crashing ....but he's still got the scars from that to prove it happened....

Watching our 2.5yr old daughter walk round the kitchen opening all the cupboard locks with the magnet to get what she wanted. Looks like I will need to move the magnets or admit defeat

Bit of discipline needed mine never did go in the cupboards when she was little, she was a teenager before she'd help herself to biscuits or crisps.

We sometimes don't realise that things we say can have lasting effects; I have a daughter, currently in Cylch Meithrin - Playschool - who is now convinced that she has a pet ant called Derek ...

This started a couple of months ago when, having been given a magnifying glass by my mother, she spent days examining every bit of ground with it. She soon noticed that everywhere she went there were ants and, obviously, one was always closer than others. Now, when she mentioned this to me, and with ants being pretty hard to tell apart (except red from black) my instant reply was 'Oh yes, that's Derek , he likes you, he's always following you around.'

Well, I'd forgotten this, but ants are common and if you look down they are nearly always there. This morning my girl was next to me by a shed door when she excitedly pulled my shirt and said 'Look, it's Derek, I thought I'd lost him!'

She may well have the last laugh when she calls out derek and an ant runs towards her

She always has the last laugh, they start young....

I just sat down as it's raining and watched the first episode of A Year On The Farm that I recorded this week.

Paul and Derek Kelly and family in Essex with their Kelly's Bronze turkey business.

I would commend it to anyone and I reckon it's a shame that it only got aired on More4.

An excellent programme showing just how driven and how much attention and personal effort Paul puts in to his business.

I found the link on the internet and there's 27 more days to watch this one:

This week's low was a £126000 bad debt for a customer who buys chicks going pop with a max of a penny in the pound.

Next week the trailer says it's a Sussex dairy farm including TB testing

Looking at that picture, I think that's how someone got the idea of packing sardines in a tin

We had old urban friends over today and went out for a meal. On our return they watched this pretty little girl born and were transfixed. She had a textbook birth, stood within 20 minutes and drank in under an hour

I think even on the modern pontoon type ferry punts with the hurdles above deck, they pack them quite tight not so much to steady their legs as to stop them trying to jump ........
