Caught him red handed sleeping on the job, and all HR had to say was "awww." 😤
My new phone is riddled with ai slop "features," but despite disabling anything I could, it still constantly interferes.
Last night, around midnight, I set an alarm for 6am. The ai wellness centre sent a notification at 3am to say it had changed my alarm to 8am because 6 hours sleep wasn't enough.

My current morning and evening routine of putting out the cow's winter feed... in July/Aug.
Second cut looks to be mostly a dead loss too. It has basically turned to hay in the fields.
Here's hoping weather allows for a third cut, I guess.

I got hit in the face with a gate after a spooked cow kicked it.
The gash on my nose bleeds profusely if you go anywhere near it, which is really annoying because rubbing my face in anguish is one of my favorite past times. 🤦

Today marks the 5th anniversary of me saying "If I can just get one more year out of this finishing mower, I'll buy a new one then."
Staring to think I'm a liar tbh. 🤷

I do enjoy giving new life to tired objects, but it's extra satisfying when it can now be useful again. (Also made sides, but want it for bales atm.)
Why yes, I did paint the wheels to match the new tractor. Thanks for noticing. 🤓

Lost the jacket and hoodie due to the heat.
Needed the hoodie and jacket because of the rain.
Now contemplating shorts due to the heat.

Haven't been around much lately, but I gotta presume there were a lot of "State of play? State of September more like!" jokes made.
If not, my disappointment is immeasurable.

Local shop in town was celebrating 50 years in business, giving out free 99 ice creams.
Told my Dad this, after he saw me with it. 5 minutes later he disappeared, and then arrived back with a newspaper and a 99. 😂

Picked up the last few cows/heifers I was after today.
It's a relief to have another one of the big changes ticked off the list. Just a few more pieces of machinery to be sourced now, and hopefully I can get back to having a life then. 😄
