The writing is on the wall

Spent all morning tagging calves and shifting them and cows around. Went to check to see if any straw would bale,but soaking right through. After sitting half an hour waiting for school bus only to discover junior farmerboab had decided to come home with his mother, got the mower hitched up and went to open up another field of grass,only to get rained off at 9pm. Ho hum.
Charlie the painter arrived to start stripping the staircase wall paper,as Mrs Farmerboab has decided that it needs redecorating.I made the point that it wasn't that old and would do a while yet,but she who must be obeyed had other ideas. To prove my point this was discovered on the plaster showing when it was last papered. As I said -plenty of life left in it yet !
