what grinds your gears

Two things that grinds my gears is in your face vegans and anytime climate change is brought up the first solution brought up is "eat less meat" what a load of crap. I'm all for animal welfare most livestock farms here care about there animals but the propaganda is they dont.

I suppose you are either working per hour or you told them you charge extra for things like this?
I bend the whole frame on my frontmower because I was to stubborn to check for unknown obstacles in a new to me paddock while I did the mowing per hour, so I do feel your pain.

Working per hour, they were embarrasssed too which helps and they were trying. It was a jungle out there.

Post-lockdown drivers! They drive right at me on roads where two vehicles can pass safely. They have forgotten how roundabouts work. They think that if they don't make eye contact, then you don't exist....

I am wishing right now that I had listened to the "eat less meat " part. I am suffering from death by roast beef, Yorkshires x 2, Suffolk new tatties, savoy cabbage, beetroot and gravy. Am never a big plate of food eater, I always take a smaller amount rather than waste food and tonight I ate a plate of food that would have scared most men and I'm only little 😭 😭 :sick::bigtears:

I also know I am going to be sweating like a pig in a couple of hours ..............BRAW!

A genuine sympathy 😄 , because I know what you mean!
D'you find that these sustaining meals become more necessary as soon as it's Autumn?

Heartfelt thanks as sympathy was needed :love: . definitely eat more hearty meals at this time of year. A 4 hour hill gather probably contributed somewhat too to the appetite. It's funny that summer work and long hours kill my appetite but when the temps drop I am starving but I never would eat as much as I ate tonight and to my shame I just had another wee pick of the beef even though my gut feels like it is about to explode, I feel like Monsieur Creosote.........
