I want a good set of bluetooth headphones and wet gear.

Bought this pair couple of years ago. Been brilliant, used when strimming and powerwashing. Has caller announcing and one button call answering. Only fell out of my ear once.

Find it hard to get good wet gear, best one I have so far is an oneills (gaa) waterproof bottoms. Struggle between staying dry and not sweating.

No that uses the older type battery platform. You would have to buy a saw from that area.

I had 2 sets of bluetooth headphones already. I broke one set in a milking parlor. I stood on them. The other set were Boose and cost the girlfriend nearly €200, I was running across the field after a sheep (don't ask) and it fell out of my ear, hit my heel and went up into the air, no way could I find it.

The ends of them are magnetic and clip together, or put a crocodile clip through them and attach to jumper.

Did you try playing music full blast to find them?

What do you need work boots for?

Work I'd imagine <mod snip>

Say my name

Is it cheating if it's not farm related?

A training flight in a microlight. €90.
One for the bucket list.

Or I suppose an optical refractometer and a stainless steel garlic crusher for taking brix readings. :pac:

I dunno if any of ye find it hard to switch off when you're trying to sleep but I bought my Dad a soundbox some years back. Plays a few different nature sounds (waves, river, nighttime crickets etc) and he swears by it to help him drop off to sleep.
Seems to be the only stand out present I got for him tbh, everything else has faded into obscurity

Oh that sounds like it would help my dad. Can you post the model? Or where u got it?

The one I got doesn't seem to be there any more but if you look for 'noise machine' on Amazon you'll find loads. I was just looking at this one & might get it for myself!

My 9-5 job requires a lot of travel and flying so have tried a lot of headphones over the years. I was given these recently - Sony WH-1000XM4, best I've ever had, noise cancelling is unbelievable, great battery life, good app to use with it. most of all they are very comfortable, after using some on long haul or overnight flights your ears might be sore to touch and some you'd have to clamp tight on your head to make sure you didn't lose them, none of that with these.

Just noticed that the capacity of the lidl one is only 1.5 litres...

this is the one I purchased last year, after hearing a friend rave about how his kids loved chicken and chips in an air fryer.

I got it out of the box for this first time yesterday, I still don't like the design, too much glass.

I'm going to chance sending my old Leatherman to the UK before brexit, hopefully it's replacement will be here under the 25yr warranty in time for Christmas. It won't be in the post 10 minutes before I reach for it.
