Today at work

[le bon paysan]

Something to smile about this morn.

One Sunday, around 14 months ago I posted here about a Schistosomus reflex - inside out calf. (regular followers of my drivel may remember) anyway, the vet was getting the gun, but after some negotiations she had a c-section. I was advised not to get her in calf again, I did relay this information to her, but she didn't listen. I woke this morning to find she had calved naturally and brought a very sharp limmy hiefer.

As MrTesco would say ... every little helps!

I'll need a bigger hole for that

Every big hole starts off as a smaller hole....!

Unless you buy one ready made from @Cab-over Pete and @Kevtherev......they might do you a special deal!

One of my customers got his combine stuck on Tuesday. Two big tractors couldn’t get it out so they ended up with a local civil engineer digging it out with a 33t Cat 360.

Lord knows what it will be like out there now, we’ve had two inches of rain since then.

Sounds like they've got a readymade hole for @Adeptandy's combine!

Maybe they’v even git a slightly longer combine now! Will an increase in wheelbase help with flotation

Wee bit of winter oats last Monday night, before it poured with rain again.

Finally got the kerbs done around the house, now for a strip of grass and a fence behind them.

The house looks amazing

 

[chaffcutter]

The kerbing looks expensive too!

 

[Pan mixer]

shame about the lawn with two great wheel ruts from the low loader. Very smart job though.

That's awesome, never seen that done before!

 

[Vincent]

@chaffcutter The kerbing works out at about €20 per meter, it would be hard to get standard kerbs put down for that price and have an inferior finish I think.
@Steevo That machine can do many shapes of kerbs, just change the head on it. Even motor way barriers.

 

[michael N123]

There very keen for it today would be nice if the rain stopped for a day

 

[Boohoo]

That's awesome, never seen that done before!

It's an impressive sight when you see them forming motorway crash barriers

 

[Boohoo]

This wasn't part of the plan for today, better put the feet up for a while
