Oh, how I've missed Summer at home!

Well, them thar 3 fields are in now (Cottage Meadow -1000, East Park -966 and Hunt's Meadow -743) and Moat Field is now cut... Needless to say, having finished Hunt's Meadow about half an hour ago, we're somewhat hot and bothered!

On another note, Jack and I went shooting the other day and bagged 4 rabbits and a squirell, although my rifle was shooting some 4 inches low at 20yrds (not having been used for the best part of a year!) And having just finished playing with le ferret, I spotted a rabbit on the lawn and dashed off to tie the dog up and get my gun, but just as I got back, my mum lost it in the bushes! And the dog (of course) couldn't find him after that! She'd have more luck cathing a horse than a rat/rabbit/squirell/anything small, fury and pest-like! The ferret was under the hut the other day and chased a mouse out which practically tripped over the dog's tail and she didn't notice! Ah, well...

Managed (after 400-or-so bales) to make it to the Bells last night for Karaoke... George and I kicked off with our old classic 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia', before he and Marv did 'Gold'. I then sang 'From The Ritz To The Rubble' on my tod (which was very well received!) and then, after Marv and George's 'Can't Take My Eye's Off Of You' redition, Moss and I did 'When The Sun Goes Down' (by the Arctic Monkeys, not Kenny Chesney/Uncle Kracker) to round off our evening's performances... A good time was had by all, and even Mr Walter managed to make it to the pub, if not karaoke! :D

Right, probably an idea to have a shower now, before the crap and haydust becomes a part of my genetic code...
