Shoite, I mean hi Links! I hope the cough isn't messing with your sleep.

Not too bad Grem! Warming myself up after my walk earlier! Got caught in a sleet shower and the wind was bitter but thoroughly enjoyed it all the same Plus the dogs were delighted!

In totally non-related nonsense, I am drinking the pinkest drink I've laid eyes on since I used to give calves lectade.

There are many layers to this nut Ted! Couldn't tell you how much of that stuff I've dispensed to wee sick calves over the years.

Ted_YNWA

many strings to your bow Grem.

Nurse to calves,

I think Lectade can be used in cats and dogs as well but I've never had to use it. It's actually easier to give IV fluids in companion animals than to force them to drink because in a lot of cases being dehydrated makes them feel so crappy that they don't really want to move, let alone eat or drink.

Ted_YNWA

Not easy to try & put an IV into a large animal.

Mozzeltoff

No idea what lectade is. May have grown up in the foothills of the Devils Bit but wasn't farm reared at all

Nope

Ah Mozz, lucky you in a way. I spent way too many night sat on damp straw slowly feeding liquids into sick calves etc. Is it any wonder I'm nearly fit for the zimmer frame!

I may have escaped that but in fairness I had to endure many a cold and cutting night in a shed holding a light, helping to lift or dismantle part of an engine or pass tools to my dad while he cursed and roared at the car It did teach me an awful lot about engines though

Ted_YNWA

Sounds familiar Grem, don't miss that aspect of it.

remember being up with cow calving in the middle of the night just before my Irish Oral for Leaving Cert. Crawled into bed for about an hour before had to get back up & go into school.

Gremlinertia

Haha snap there too! What I didn't know about a. International tractor back then wasn't worth knowing.

The stuff you pick up as a kid! Least I know now the signs for when a head gasket is about to blow in a car/jeep :pac:

I mainly learned how to use copious quantities of holts easy start!

The start of the week has that effect on me Paws. Tired even though I wouldn't be doing too much.

I find that when we have a slow week.. The less that there is to do, the less I actually want to do. I prefer being busy. Nicely busy, not "nobody's getting lunch" type busy.

Gremlinertia

Nail on the head there Paws.. shifts seem so long when nothing is happening and too much like a roller coaster if mad busy..

I can be a bit like that at times but sure it's very rare now a days. I am on mid term this week and I can see a whole pile of things that I need to do around the place. Spring cleaning time is upon me!

Links234

Feel kinda crapped out again, my energy's gone

Want to get some study in but my concentration is pretty scattered

Gremlinertia

Best off not forcing it so Links. Did you have a queue out the door for curry today?!?

Links234

housemate might've eaten something like 3 bowls already, apparently a bowl for breakfast even

Gremlinertia

Haha nice one. I wonder, does it taste better the day after?

Mozzeltoff

Usually does! The OH polished off the rest of the curry today. Apparently it was pretty tasty!

Gremlinertia

I made an omlette earlier twas divine if I do say so myself.. Mushrooms, red onions with thinly sliced garlic and herb sausages..

Sounds quite awesome

Needed to get cook a chicken fillet as the date was out on Wednesday. Pan fried with some red onion in some sweet chilli sauce. Made up some Cajun Mayo and had it in a bap with some salad. It was savage

I love food way too much
