Today's ones first. The milk vat is not supposed to look like this - bizarre weather might have caused it to overfreeze, was 4 C at end of milking last night, frost overnight, sun all day today and drizzle again after dark.

ga.prime - no, I haven't, unless the occasional very short person in town is one... can't see their feet usually.

jrn, I'd need to go look see if the brand name is on it, it's an ecostream or some fancy modern thing like that. It's very good, best effluent irrigator I've worked with so far but that might just be because it's only a couple of years old, not thirty or fifty. Had trouble once when the 'stop' lever got bent and hence failed to stop it, so I keep an eye on that... not sure how it happened.

Nice pics indeed.. your country looks similar to ours, (especially if you go 50 miles east of us).

Looks like you have some nice thistles!
