...returning from a couple of nights away up in Grantown-on-Spey 
And on our return home just got the grass cut before the rain comes later on tonight/tomo morning

The usual jobs and had to drive around town to do shopping, look for a substitute feed for animals, until the normal batch comes back on Tuesday. I also had to look for new wellies as these are killing my feet.

In a Huggy Bear type way?

not that big a pile but too big to warrant spending 8 hours pushing my barrow over rough ground to get to it , the main pile is over on the other side of the croft AKA the midden

Got up early (again,) to carry water from the stream to the large veg plot. No rain for 2 months and yesterday's forecast for a storm has now been updated to scorching. Off to pick beans and yet more courgettes 

[Q]

Started the day off with dispatching the first two cockerels from this years hatch    a job I really dislike but getting used to it a bit more.  IF only they didnt crow

..... recovering from yesterday's Graduation Day ( my son's) on the other side of the country. Doesn't time fly?

[waterbuffalofarmer]

Did some gardening, checked the sheep and fell down a sloping part in the field cause of the rain  , milked the buffaloes and am about to mend a few fences.

[Rupert the bear]

Finished ed the second lot of haylage all wrapped and stacked, all before Mrs RTB returned from the Goat show.
Mind you we were up at 4am ! Now I will take lots of ( prescription ) drugs have a hot shower and go to bed , hope not to wake up for a very long time......

[devonlady]

Oh!, I would so love to go to bed at 7-30, some nights I long to

If it makes you feel any better, Q, if you don't dispatch your cockerels, nor keep them locked up in single-sex runs, then as they reach sexual maturity, groups of them will start gang-raping your pullets and can even kill them.  (Ask me how I know.)  So you're not just disposing of them to stop the noise, you are protecting the hens.  (It used to make me feel a lot better about it, knowing what would happen if I didn't.)
