Marquees going up everywhere.
As is the way of the world now, no-oe could move without a hi-vis on, so I blagged one for the dog too. I think I was the only person there that didn't take a photo of him in it! I'll have to raid my nieces insta-snap-app thing for a picture.

Then nipped to a 6920 with a collapsed kingpin bearing, the customer had picked the parts up so got that sorted (didn’t get a pic of that bit though) also replaced the air brake valve.

I think you must have more hours in a day than the rest of us the amount of work you seem to cram in.

I never thought there'd be cross over between secondary school IT support (my first 'career') and pig farming (my second), but Nedap also make rfid card entry/logging systems for buildings and we installed one over the course of a couple of years for casual sixth form attendance/registers

Amazing company. The livestock EID kept them alive during a difficult period in the 80's . It's a steady small, smart division. Some of the other sectors they work in are amazing. Retail used to be just anti-shoplifting looms but now an ostensibly plain price tag has full tracking, provenance details and re-location codes.

The smart light controls in warehouses and other big areas save a fortune in power

The health care smartphone home visitor app for carers has mushroomed

The HQ building is a revelation, full of techies and quirky to attract more staff

Will post a couple of photos in a moment
