@ed800m @Buckfast_Abbey @JaneFranklin99 @SianVidak @Tigga594 Hope you also tried a Buckfast libation. I found it spiritually uplifting!

@ed800m Only 1 fly! We’re shearing in West Oz, a thousand merino sheep in the yards and approaching 40c. Flies, flies and more flies. You feel a bit like the Spartans, flies so thick they blot out the sun … we work in the shade! But a nice photo of the lonely fly.

@ed800m @Buckfast_Abbey @Tigga594 @JaneFranklin99 @SianVidak Lovely reminder of our visit there several years ago. Cheers from Oz.

@WheatWatcher Maaate, your from Scotland, in my book that makes you a refugee.

@WheatWatcher I hope that’s not your drinking arm!

Saw this at a property yesterday. When a youngster really wants their first bike!

I was robbed at a servo this afternoon - in broad daylight. When my hands stopped shaking I called the police. They asked if I knew who did it … yes I replied… pump Number 3!

[ray.morgan @raymorgan3]

@WheatWatcher Yes, but as I understand it the existing pipeline passes through Ukraine. Disrupting supplies to Ukraine then flows on to other customers. With Nordstrom on line the existing pipeline could easily be disrupted leaving Ukraine with no supplies.

@WheatWatcher See YouTube - Al Murray- The Pub Landlord. Name a Country …. We’ve defeated them. Country most invaded by Britain … France … last invasion …. 1945!

@WheatWatcher Aye Lad, that be Geranium (in best Yorkshire accent). As it dies the spear will seperate into 3 tight corkscrews. Later when wet again will unscrew forcing the barbed end into the soil or into flesh in lodged in wool.

@WheatWatcher … and this years Darwin Award goes to….

Went to buy a new file this morning to sharpen the trusty saw bench. Couldn’t find one on the shelf so asked sales staff. “You won’t find it by that name any more. They’ve been renamed.”
I suppose some bastard was offended!

@WheatWatcher Perhaps COVID does affect the bowels. Maybe all the toilet roll hoarders were right all along.......!

@johngladigau Introduction of air conditioned cabs. Even if you could pay someone to sit on a header under an umbrella modern WHS wouldn’t let you.

Not quite the full 800,000 candle power but great to see WW2 searchlight fired up at Nungarin Military Museum. Mmmm - old school laser pointer!

[ray.morgan @raymorgan3]

@WheatWatcher @farmersway Central Park about 880 acres, Kings Park 400 ha or 1000 acres in the old money.

[ray.morgan @raymorgan3]

Thanks to all crews who turned out in high winds to fight fire on our farm yesterday. Cause was arcing from power line. Wire in photo is supposed to be connected to insulator!

[ray.morgan @raymorgan3]

@WheatWatcher Apple maybe but banana??? Couldn’t be worse than deep fried Mars Bar.
