Today at work

I got a a bit of hedge trimming and verge mowing done today, whilst tedding was going on with some 2nd cut grass. Of course the forecasters have got it wrong again and the grass has been given a proper good soaking since this afternoon.

Fire still smouldering, wife called out to it again late last night as neighbours saw it flair up even after 11mm of rain and some serious amounts of water pumped onto it.

Something isn’t right with this bought in ram on the left with very high EBV’s yet my 2016 plate Gingemong who serves over 250 ewes a year was put in incase and has covered half the ewes in a few days..

Then this afternoon I saw all these ewes running from their field in front of the house, some ar5eh0le untied a gate tied in 2 places and let them into a field destined for lambs tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♂️

Outside finished, hopefully be able to get on with concreting the yard before egg and meal lorries start.

Just started on the inside equipment, spent yesterday setting all the stuff into the house, getting 20' lengths of pipe through a 10' door on your own can test the patience.

Father in law was here on Saturday and said he intends living until he’s 94.
I told him it not right to come round to our house threatening us like that! 😁
