- my grandad was a dairy farmer albiet tiny @ 40 acres and maybe 25cows - my old man built a agricultural garage on a bit of the land and his brother carried on milking for quite a long time, my cousin is still in milk with about a 100 milk cows, there is bit of diversification going on now in an effort to make it work better

yeh he's a great lad .... used to repair his tanks for him regularly .. when they get thin the vacuum collapses them .. push 'em back out, (once washed out) roll a repair sheet and weld it back on the outside with plenty of barrrel welded areas

easy day Sunday .. twisted my back somehow last week ... wasn't good Friday - driving didn't help it .. Saturday's drive and wander round Welland really did for it .. could not getcomfy in bed so thought sod it .. and Tramadol-ed it 'bout half two - slept like the dead from 4 onwards ... best kip in ages
Vicki rang late Sunday evening - could we meet her and the girls at Noah's Arc farm zoo, Clevedon 'bout half eleven Monday ... been down in Dorset for a few days and the girls asked her to ring us to ask the Q.
Pam had a blood test appt. at 09.45, so set off after they'd finished with her and arrived early enough for a coffee and sausage roll
spent several hour wandering around the animiles .. all well cared for BTLs, though I did feel the sea eagle shouldn't have been there - poor bugger looked really PO-ed ..no place for a 3 ft tall bird of prey
wore this pair out and headed for home 'bout five-ish ...
not a bad place but seeeeriously dear entry ..
1 adult, 2 OAP,s, and 2 kids, one 5 - 125 quid and then they had the audacity to ask if we'd like to make a 10% donation
couple of paracetamol with tea and some more to got to bed with .. back not so bad this morning
visitor this morning so didn't get going 'til after lunch
jumped on the tug to bring that trailer load of firewood down to the woodshed and the bloody seat broke away from its mounts
overdue BTLs
looked at re-mounting it but sod all to attach to and the cover fought me tooth and nail so thought sod this and went in search of an FLT seat I'd taken off the S40, 'fore I stuck it in the skip in 2014 - was a fairly new seat back then ...
luckily for me I'd made a base plate to fit it back then and was still attached
so set out the dim.s for the seat mounts and drilled some new 10mm holes to attach these
left the exisiting bolts in and flat-ed them down to just the nuts .. spaced the plate with some more nuts attaching the plate to the mounts and dogged it all together
Clara will be happy as the seat's sliders'll take the seat a lot closer forward to the clutch/brake pedal
and gives enough adjustment for me to be comfy too (plus there's a further 3" to be had too
way better/comfier seat than the original too
but that nadgered most of my plans for the afternoon ...
was gonna haul the tip skip out of hiding, swap bodies and move some tish down to the man hole for back filling with ...
seat put paid to most of that plan
got the trailer body off the axle/draw bar - held on with three slide bolts on it's tipping sub-frame -- POP to swap
up end and pull the three slide bolts and it's a chassis waiting the skip body which I had to wake the 'Drema up to extract from its spot
dropped it on the floor and stuck the box of bits back in where it came from, minus the skip under it and dropped the axle/draw bar onto the skip
just putting the box back in spot and Pam arrives -
" answer yer bloody phone, tea'll be ready in ten minutes "
" that's good timing - can you eyeball and steady this back into place for me please "
not best pleased, but obliged - and it was time for tea
came back up after me pasta and meatballs (yum) and finished tidying up and locked up ...
parked up for the night
uninterrupted tish moving'll be on the agenda for the morning
Pam goes out, trolling round the shops, with one of her mates on a Wed.s morning, 'fore 'lunching out'
