The day the 9am and 1pm go back to normal time, and I get a shitload to deliver! And of course...I had to cutoff to get em done!

Sounds like a much better day than a day on delivery....best of luck!tomtallis wrote: ↑01 Sep 2021, 23:54Let the ponies out into the field, filled a couple of haynets for them for later. Filled the bird feeders, poo picked the two top paddocks and spread it on the hay field. Fed the cat, gave her her meds and cleaned her litter tray. Quick cuppa and crumpets then built a fire. Picked up a couple of dumpy bags of kindling with a neighbour to see us through the winter, sprayed some invasive weeds, took delivery of some sheep fleeces for path making. Bit of grocery shopping in town, home, then walked around listing repair jobs that need doing. Cooked a chicken dhansak for tea, bit of bird watching, swallows still rearing a late brood in one of the stables. Watched Pink Floyd dvd as the tv transmitter burned down a fortnight ago so the reception is abysmal. Ponies back in, gave them night time haynets and turned electric fence on. More tea, bath, a final check outside and so to bed. Couple of winter fuel and hay deliveries tomorrow will keep me out of trouble for a while. Bye RM it's been variable.

One suspended for wilful delay today.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Had to cutoff AGAIN today to get specials done by 1pm! I preferred it with the later deadlines.

Re: The "How was your day" thread.
I give back the 2 longest loops almost everyday & I have never ever done lapsing, told today the plan is to give us 2 more loops as part of the revision
Might need to change my name to fourloops

Perhaps another strike is inevitable?
Oh wait, the CWU has gone weak in the knees.

Don't let the CEO see this, he'll have us all popping round to personally apologise.
