things that make you smile

[Red Fred]

Checking around the yard last night before bed, I'm just standing there enjoying a few minutes without rain thinking of nothing in particular when suddenly the tractor radio turns itself on as I am looking straight at it from across the yard. After a couple of minutes, it very matter-of-factly switches itself off and all is darkness again. I just stood there in puzzlement so I didn't hear what was playing , but I can't stop hearing "You keep on knocking but you can't come in" in my head. I know logically it was just a dodgy connection, but I haven't been able to get a peep out of it for at least 10 years and it has never turned itself on even when jiggling about being used. Now it is dead as a dodo once more.

"You keep on knocking but you can't come in"
Hope you're not a religious person.

A '58 plate Case doesn't have quite the same ring as a '58 Plymouth Fury.

Modern policing in Germany, note the female officers suffering most, what a total embarrassment - I advise turning off the sound, because the git narrating the video is very irritating:

That brought back some memories of going out on a pipeline job that had gone seriously wrong with the farmers agent, now sadly dead. We got halfway across when he got both boots stuck. He tried to get out, fell forwards, backwards, pulled his feet out of his boots, lost a sock I managed to get him upright and pulled him out one boot at a time.
He went home for a bath and change. We never spoke about it again.

A couple of years ago one of the boys went into the plucking shed after we'd finished for the day. In the dark a womans voice said "hello". He about jumped out of his skin. The radio hade been left on, it was the start of that song by Adelle

These little guys albino plec's. For reasons completely unknown to me they decided to breed - twice. There's over a hundred of them now, and he's sitting on eggs again. Needless to say the scanning rate for the two of them far exceeds anything the sheep have done .
I find them fascinating though, so primitive they don't have scales. They can store an emergency air supply in their bodies, as well as having gills. And spines in their front fins, just one evolutionary step away from crawling out of the water.

Watching the dairy cows starting to use the new swing brush I installed…..very wary of it to start with , but could watch them for hours getting to those itchy bits…..I’d nearly set up a cow brush webcam……
