My youngest ( 10) , realised at teatime last night that the SNP are back in up here, and he looked appalled.
We need to sell and move to Australia he announced. It’s warm , and far away from Nicola Sturgeon!😂
I have little argument against his sentiments. NHS, Education, Police all at rock bottom standards, yet the brave heart crap wins votes.
I despair at our once great country.
So as he wants to leave and go to Aus to be an electrician. He’s only 10, but I’ll help him pack !

Sounds like your lad will do ok if he's got snp sussed at 10yrs old.
I'm proud to be Scottish but absolutely despair at the brainwashed masses that cant see the mess the snp are making, They must all go home and watch Braveheart and listen to Flower of Scotland every night. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
They be better showing everybody , 1 they can run the country, 2, they can count, before even thinking of independence.

Not quite sure why but a healthy 95%, up from an almost perpetual 25% or less for last few months.

Cant put my finger on what's changed but I seem to have got my mojo back all of a sudden.

I think I put something down a long time ago and forgot where it was, but now I've found it again.. a little thing called Hope, it's made all the difference.

Best wishes to you and your Wife @Derrick Hughes

80%, any more seems smug, and the Gods don't like you to get above yourself.
Family all okay.
Not over burdened by debt.
Crops looking transformed with the inch of rain we've now had.
Spring drillings all now up.
Old crop nearly all gone, mostly well sold.
Soon be TMS on radio again.
Finally got planning on small field at appeal.
Still one left to lamb but not getting up in night for one.
Few cronky sheep about, as ever.
Grasped last possible opportunity to give some October barley away, it now seems.
Can't shift oats, and want shed.
Drillers want to come and spoil best bit of wheat we have, in above mentioned small field, drilling test bores all over it.
No good getting up or down about stuff that the passage of time will resolve.
If your loved ones are healthy and you can pay your bills, you are winning.
The Lord giveth and taketh away, as ever. Same as for everyone else.

And my best wishes to Mrs Hughes too.

85% today, despite ewe lambs aborting too many lambs and work staring at me everywhere i look, i don't tend to worry or stress nowhere near as much as i used to, could always be a lot worse ! Turn off the news and skip past all the depressing TFF threads helps to 🤣

75 percent.

After my hobby was essentially put on ice for a year and a half, finally getting some real life back to normal this week. I've two days of tabletop gaming (18 months and I've still left the painting until the last day). Wife and children are back sailing. Children are meeting their friends. Church on Sunday. My back is behaving itself. Mrs is enjoying her work. Barley is worth selling.

So yeah, not bad.

All you lot feeling less than 100% take a drive into a large city go to the poor end of town and look at the high rise flats and featureless terrace houses.

then go home👍
I hear what your saying and there will be occupants of those flats feeling 100% themselves. Its not all about where we live otherwise suicide rates and mental health issues among farming communities should be a lot lower. By the way I'm at 75%, being Friday helps!

About 75 % .Full knee replacement ,kneecap plated and old artifical ligaments removed ,all done about 6 weeks ago and managed 21 minutes on the static bike last night.Lost about 4 stones in weight prior to the op by getting fit and have reduced waist from 36 ins to 32 ins.Pubs are open and the other night we went to the local,with friends,and I had a lovely Sirloin with all the trimmings along with 4 pints of Butty Bach.Crops are looking OK and we have just sold 200 spring lambs for good money.All last years Wheat going to go in June at good money.
Life's pretty good and ,hopefully, the knee will improve over the coming weeks.Fingers crossed for @Derrick Hughes and his wife.
