Tractor Tuesday (sort of )
After last night's storm,was expecting some damage. However ,everything seems to have survived,with only one slap of dyke falling down.
One on mucking out the cattle court here that we use at shearing time, one on the same job next door.
The rep in to give me a price for a new slurry pump as the shaft has sheared on our one. The cost of spares to repair our one makes it uneconomical to repair. We can't handle slurry without one,so had to bite the bullet and order a new one.
Had to take the collie to the vet this afternoon. The shepherd was going out on the quad with a trailer load of feeding,and Patch has the habit of biting at the wheels. Presume the trailer wheel must have got her as she did a lot of yelping and came scrabbling round the yard dragging her hind end. Had a quick feel but couldn't feel any bones crunching,so chucked her in the land rover and took her to see the vet. By the time we got there she was able to stand up. The vet checked her over and gave her a jag of Metacalm painkiller and we will see what happens. She managed to drag me out the door once she realized we were going,as she's not keen on the vet surgery!
After all that,forgot it was Tuesday,never mind tractor Tuesday,so this is a bit of a cheat.If you look carefully you can just make out this 360 that is felling one of our woods at the moment,so it is a "track"tor of sorts !
