Won't be digging the garden today then

Don't blame you

Started off ok today .....hmmm......went downhill rapidly.  Been torrential rain all morning, and no sign of stopping.  Goats and pigs all inside, and only a few brave hens out in it.  So frustrating when most of the work I want to do is outside!!!  Cannot even push the barrow down the field even if it stops raining - its so wet and muddy everywhere

Yep same here , too wet to use the barrow most of the time , it just sinks and is impossible to move . So everything is mainly done using buckets .
The usual process is carry 2 buckets of manure 70 yds down a steep , wet hill , to the veg plot . Then carry 2 buckets of stones back up the hill !
Absolute murder . Talk about hard labour !

You are like me, Russ.  Try to utilise the return journey by bringing something back.  I usually empty the muck barrow, then balance buckets of feed, or grass for the pigs on the barrow for the return uphill journey -it is hard work ......do sometimes wonder why I am getting soaked, tired, achy .....when I could be inside watching the rain like normal people.

[RUSTYME]

Yes , i wonder why ? , when i am soaked to the skin and have another 3 hours out in the monsoons !
Usually have a break for a while in summer , but i have got soaked more times this summer than i did last winter !
Got new wellies now , so don't keep slipping on my arse going downhill .
