When my daughter was born she had jaundice. I remember it now, she was so small, round and yellow.
We called her melony

An old mate of mine has picked up the guitar again and started doing the rounds at the local pubs. His songs are mainly about vintage sewing machines.
He is a singer song writer

My misus said to me why don't you treat me like you did when we first met. To be honest, I felt really guilty. So I took her out to watch a movie, went for a meal and a couple drinks afterwards
and dropped her off at her mums house.

I was on Facebook market place and someone had a full top of the range Sony surround sound system on there for £5, said it was 'stuck on full blast'
Thought to myself, you can't turn that down.

How you progressing mate ?…..hopefully not too many fun and games ?
I had a couple of years out of keeping animals to reset and re-evaluate, just went and got 2 new ram lambs.
Ill fetch them on, keep the best and sell the other.
Now to find a few ewes to go with whatever one I keep, not too many only a few.
Pigs next and cattle (dairy bulls for veal) around spring when they have been born.
How's your plans going on Wilf? Did you end up with pigs aswell or is that going into next year?

There’s a place near me that dry dock them to scrap them, a lad I know used to work for them, there must of been good money in them because they would go to auctions around the country to buy them just to scrap, they must of had all the hazardous handling tickets ( my mate was an asbestos stripper to start with) or maybe not, because they were in Hartlepool and that place is one big landfill
That the boat yard on way to headland? Near Brunswick and old pub on end that's gone?

Part of what I'm trying to do includes going back to what I call 'old school trade' so instead of swapping money I'm swapping time/skills/produce.
So far I've agreed to do a little bit of electrical work, probably equate to half a day's work. The trade for this was access to a small but well established orchard. Only about 10-12 trees but a mix of apples, pears and plums. All big trees and tons of fruit. Wi dfall will go to pigs and picked fruit will be for eating/jams/chutneys etc. Had a few visits already and had loads for pigs. They also gave me a box of about 30jars for the jam/chutney making. Other than picking a few apples for their own use and few for daughter when she visits no one else gets in there. They have even said windfall they will bag up for me every couple days for me to just turn up and collect! I'm pleased with that trade.
I've swapped half of one of the pigs once culled for a full lamb, butchered. I'm not sure if this works in my favour or the others but this gives me good mixture of meat for 2024. Also they have the land to graze the lambs so works for both parties. Potential of same swap in future. I'm happy with that trade too.
Starting to get some momentum. 2024 will be the make or break year as to whether I can sustain it.

I'm not very happy with your archaic views. Get a grip. Referring to HER as HIM.
SHE is a competitor in HER own right and should be recognised in the competition SHE is in. If SHE wins SHE wins!
Dont discount her just because SHE has a penis and is also lacking breasts, a vagina, ovaries and a womb. That is just immaterial.
As Shania Twain said "man, I feel like a woman"
So why shouldn't SHE compete?
Even in a dick measuring comp if that's what SHE wanted to do?
You old fashioned bigots!!!

Mate is , about to start killing on a few farms ,£80 a bird to the customer, was wondering the money in it
I paid £50 for 6 that were about 5days old. That is the bronze/blacks. I paid 30 for 6 hatching eggs off ebay and that is the 2 red bourbons, 4 didn't hatch.
Bag of growers about 12.50 and if it was just turkeys at this size would do 2 week. I reckon you would do 150 in feed max. So couple hundred quid max and you would have half a dozen big turkeys.
Free range/grass fed turkeys are owt up to 175 a bird!
I've sold 4 probs ask 30quid a pop just to contribute to the feed cost.

Moved the 3 chicks into the bigger brooder. These are 5weeks now so could go out from next week but I'm guna keep them inside a little longer with it being winter, maybe till 8 or 9 week, see how they do for size/space! These were the last chicks of 2023.
If I have a Cockell out the three then my other Cockerell may become my first table bird so I can mix blood line. Probably base it on how the birds turns out.
Next part of this plan when the girls start laying is to have 2 pens, one for layers and a seperate one for growers for table and refreshing my laying hens when needed. That way can ensure they are on the right feed for laying/growing. Hoping to have the production line up and running and start incubating again in the spring.

Any luck with the bee situation, mate, or is it a bit late in the year for that, given we're halfway through November?
Went to see the chap in the village and he said this time of year they all dormant so can't disturb hive. My name is down for a course early in new year which should line up well for starting in the spring.

Moved the last 3 from the brooder to the hen house. With the big drop in temps over last few weeks I kept them in longer than I normally would. The hens seem to have accepted them without too much trouble.
Couple of the turkeys are really big now. They need to be processed in the next couple of weeks.
Considered doing the pigs pre-xmas but everyone is too busy so they will be going Jan as first planned.
It's all very wet and muddy here now temps have come back up!!!!
