All the same, I think I'll stick with cats for the next while They have the same fascination for heights and climbing but usually land on their feet instead of their heads!

It pissing rain here, we're going to get 3 dry days if we're lucky and it's to piss again on Sat. I don't want anyone getting their hopes up!

Yep that carbon word..

Rain for you Sat. None for me. Probably none for me for the next 10 days.. (Ramp em up to phuck).
It's the chance for the tillage boys to get work done. If they have the seed and fert that is?

Put in Muddin on the search bar on YT.

At this age they have a level of confidence that is both amazing and terrifying.

At about that size myself and the brother used to climb to the rafters of the hayshed & using the stolen parasol from the outdoor table, we'd jump off into a big pile of loose hay....:pac:

Don't think over 30 qualifies as young any more! We always had loose hay in cocks in two meadows up a lane the baler couldn't go through, was loaded onto a trailer & thrown into the shed or else put through the square baler we had. If it was working that is.

Nice video for any tractor heads in lock down.

I dunno the name for it but the wooden plank that was on the 'feeder' which sorta circled above the baler itself used to be a heartbreaker for us. I used to be sent running off to the carpenter down the road for replacements!

That would lead to the assumption that I got sense at some stage though. :pac:

Anyone else pissed off with Leo forgetting about the people who produce milk, beef, lamb , chicken , veg and indeed our comrades out at sea , the very people who are on the frontline everyday , day in day out , not looking for a clap on the back but i hope he chokes on his imported food

Water John

As a farmer I'm not that insecure. Have a couple of frontline workers in the medical professions in the family, no comparison.

There is numerous posts like this on Facebook and I think it’s absolutely nonsense. As someone said do farmers want a pat on the head for day following night? This is all about the health care workers, for now. Even if you don’t agree, know when you pick your battles

After all this is over. The free travel of citizens and migrants coming into the EU which was pre covid. After covid will no doubt be changed somewhat.
Countries have taken back their borders and some autonomy and won't like to go back to pre covid.
It's already been seen with more nationalistic fervour these past few days in the various countries over rowing in behind an EU cause. The country comes first.

Anyone considering volunteering themselves on the hse website ??

I’ll look into it.

While work is quiet I’m still employed.

Plus herself is working more and more hours in the hospital and Im home with kids making dinners and keeping things going here with the kids, part of me thinks one of us out in increased risk is enough.

Larger countries may also impose regional movement restrictions. It's not driven by nationalism, it's a means to control the spread.
Certainly can see internal flights in the US being limited.

Brian, looking after you family is your contribution when your OH is at the frontline.

Health care workers go without saying but the people in the shops have it really bad and small pay too. Farmers are pretty removed via their isolation for the moment thank god.

Maybe the brexit voters were right after all.
