Just back in from putting out boxfulls of dung on part of a field that the hill is too steep for the muck spreader. My bones are shaken out of me cause I am not heavy enough for the suspension seat on the tractor and the mechanism that adjusts it is broken. It was bong, bong, bong down the hill, even my arse is sore

Too much bong bong can leave you with a sore arse surely

Change position

Straight forward enough. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Pay attention to remedies/medicines in particular withdrawal periods.

Sell it to an American as a field full of traditional plantation that's becoming scarce in Ireland because of modernisation and pesticides .........

Bonus if you can find a few of those Cinnabar Moth caterpillars in there too.:pac:

Or pull out a double chop, or a single chop harvester, tie a sheet of plastic over the tail board of a silage trailer to stop the bits going out through the mesh, and cut the lot at about 8 or 9 inches high before they go to seed. Leaves the grass behind..........

I'll have attractive moths coming out my arse shortly so. They make some job of the ragworth in fairness to them.

Just back in from watching the ISS passing by.. Sky cleared enough to see it and the ATV supply vehicle passing us all by at 17,000mph.

Took about 4 minutes to track across the sky..

We got our eldest daughter up out of bed to see it and it was very exciting to watch..

Beaut of a moon out there too..

Finally seen it

No matter what role he played, I only ever saw him as Mork. Thinking back now to Mork & Mindy, wasn't it a strange enough kids program. Hatching out of an egg and the reporting back to Orsun. I watched it as a child and have fond memories of it.

Don't remember much about him in that program, just the bodywarmer. Remember Mindy though!
Watched Good Morning Vietnam in a cinema in Utrech, a bunch of us laughed our asses off, the locals must have thought we were deranged (or English), subtitles didn't translate the jokes, it seems.

exercise is the antidote
