Surely they might not. But some people won't have that choice...

We watched it earlier this week, two tough cases there.

Great to see the wee girls delight with her shoes and the farmer on the bike was nearly as happy.

We go to outfarm with our digger 2 or 3 times a week during the winter. Neighbour messaged me today that her 2 lads aged 4 and 2 live for the digger coming over. So excited when they hear it coming over the road. Especially now when they can't go to play school.

My good deed for the day. Well Thursday it was.

A few days after Xmas I'd a call from a lad looking for permission to search our land for a drone the young lad lost. I told him to work away.
Not a thought about it again until I was fencing on Thursday and found it in the field.
I dropped it back , just left it on the front lawn and kept goin.
I was told today that the young lad himself spotted it on the lawn and it was like Xmas all over again!
It turned out that he'd lost it on its maiden voyage.

If not already, we will soon be overwhelmed by Covid-19 related news and comment.

Not to have it all-consuming, the mods are designating this thread as virus-free.

No disease-related news or comment here please, use the other threads.

We will all need a break from it, so here will be a temporary haven.

Yeah he was getting hacked down in every game

Like most geniuses he was flawed. The last few lines summed it up - the price to pay was too high

And climate change. Not a word about it now or vegans. Every cloud and all that.

Got the bikes dusted off yesterday for their first outing of the year.
Sausages in the oven to fuel us and a home reared ham cooked for picnic.

Beautiful morning here. Hope it’s nice where everyone is.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.

all pollution/emission levels have dropped in the last 2 weeks, even though farming is continuing as normal (within reason)

That will be noted. Time to wake up the 35 from its winter rest and grease up the vicon. I wont do too much climate damage on that old lady today. ; )

This great.
No theory, no papers, nothing else needed.

Literally within days of reducing consumption of fossil fuels air and water quality has bounced back while agriculture hasn’t missed a step. No longer do we need to listen to pasty faced keyboard warriors blaming farming while taking multiple unnecessary flights a year.
Now we have one mantra., farming isn’t the problem, if they want to make a positive environmental impact they need to stop criticising farming and stop their actions that burn fossil fuels. The evidence is clear and factual real world example.

We do need to address runoff from N application and the likes of MCPA. That’s a separate argument though.

Thats amazing, unbelieveable even, what measures of water quality are you referring to? Surface water run off? Ground water? Sea water?
The only water quality metric that comes to mind as being effected is rain water in industrial pockets, but that wouldn't have been an agricultural problem in terms first place.

Bet the eco warriors aren't happy that the sitting duck farmers are shown NOT to be the problem they've spent decades complaining about. Happy Mother's Day! I'm off to collect a pet kid goat and a couple of pet lambs to keep her company. My daughters are so excited, they've even come out of their electronic devises!

Hard Knocks

Question for all you more tech minded
We’ve a tab which the kids use which is linked to OH’s account
If I ring her they cancel the call on that Tab & she can be none the wiser
Is there ways to remove call, text off a second smart device on the 1 account?
