Title: I'm back ....
Post by: RUSTYME on October 09, 2009, 05:51:46 pm
hello everyone,
                  thought I had better let you know I am back on the forum ( for  a while at least...).
 I didn't expect to come back on here , not because of anything anybody had said or done, just that I think I had come to the end of the line as far as the forum was concerned. Welllll, I have had a few problems here over the last day or so , that have made me rethink . I don't normally go back on a decision once made , but , I can return even if it is just for a now and then pop in and chat type thing ...(plus there is a certain mad Irish woman that kept pestering me to return !!!)  ::) :o ;D ;D yes you..... ;D .
     Well here I am . I hope you have all been well and that the weather has been as kind to you all as it has to me here for the last few weeks. Back to rain here now though .... but I am in Wales after all. 
     I have been very busy here during the dry spell , think I over did it a few times .... ::) , but I have just about caught up with all I need to . Although the veggie plot has gone for a burton this year . I will have it back on line over the next few months ready for next season , a move to the land more full time is now a distinct possability.
   Will leave it at that for a bit , as I have to feed the dogs and walk them ( and it is now pi**ing down with rain )  :o ::).
   So this old Phoenix has risen again .... hard hats to the ready ...lets get rrrrrready to rrrrrrumble........ 

cheers for now

Russ

hello MM,
           I try to help if I can .... and totally confuse if I can't , I also suffer a complete lack of any sense of humour at all  , I mean everything I say ( but I don't always say what I mean ....they would lock me up if I did  !!) ( they may well do anyway  !!!).

 Hello Rosemary,
            lol... no I bet it has been a bit quiet ..... Well, I'm back ....so will have to see about changing that situation  !!!

 Hello Karen ,
         I can tend to be like a bad curry you've eaten ....you are never quite sure where it is going to appear from  next ??   but rest assured , appear it will  , as have I .... ::)

Hello Cameldairy,
         nice to meet you . I agree , they are all nice people ( hope they don't mind if I call them my friends ?) , but you may wish to reserve judgement as to wether you missed me also . I think I may be a bit like an acquired taste , some people like it , some people grow to like it , some people never like like it,  and some people hate it .  ;)

Hello JD ,
        how could you possibly not agree with everything I say ? I am always right  !!! ( well , in my tiny , confused , addled brain I am anyway  !!! ::) ;D ;D ) . But thanks anyway .....

cheers

Russ

Russ, look at just how much you were missed - wow!

You asked whether it was too much muck or rain, hence Why I fell. I guess it's too much damned rain which is turned to muck by the animals. The duck pen and the pen where the Pygmy goats sleep is also on a slight slope which makes it worse. We have had very little rain for a month now but looks like all that is gonna change today.

While I am writing I will tell you all a funny story. Lastnight I went to feed the ducks. They have a large aluminium dog bowl for their food to go in. Well, I noticed the bowl was upside down and thought nothing more of it. When I got closer to it the bowl started to move and I thought what the hell?? Then, the penny dropped as I noticed one of my Call Ducks was trapped underneath and as she tried to free herself she ran about with the bowl on her, too big for her to remove. It did make me laugh - she didn't see the funny side of it however.

LOL James, that's so funny !
Reminded me of my granny containing the mad bantem cockrel she had with a bucket over the top of him when she went to collect the eggs - he'd have ripped her legs to bits otherwise, mad psyco bird  ;D ;D ;D (and totally mad, eccentric granny  ;))

(http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-022.gif)\animals are like children, if you watch them they will nearly always do something funny!!!! I wounder why they don't help each other out in situations like that, I wounder if they all look on and say "serve them right!" ;D
