Got a young dog I'm breaking in which I haven't down for 15 odd years and fark they can test your patience and turn a good day into a bad one, but he's crazy first thing in the morning then after a day running behind the 4 wheeler he calms down :happy: Not going to win any dog trials yet! -

Bad side of it all..... first week was in bed by 8pm, absolutely stuffed at the end of every day and sweating massively then stopping and being bloody cold in the wind.<br />

Surely you've got a shearer's singlet on? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Always helped me on those shitty winter school holiday mornings when Dad decided it would be a good idea to make a start on the next 5km of fencing he was planning <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /><br />

BTW I'm kind of jealous actually - sure the work can be shit (and nothing is shittier than shearing sheds on a hot summer's day in Oz) but the physical activity will stand you in good stead. You'll be 10 times the prop you were at the last job <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /><br />

Got a Swazi shirt on which is fantastic, but still feel the wetness of sweat when it blows!<br />
<br />
It is very rewording NTA, funny how I was dreading the crutching but as the sweat run off nose and the music pumping in woolshed and the boss is next to me and we slowly starting to get compeditive and racing each other it was bloody great fun.... -
Todays effort...<br />
<br />
Moved Bulls on crop.<br />
Easy morning, BMR called in with some treats for lunch!<br />
<br />
After lunch planted 5 willow pole's then spent 3hrs hand-pruning trees, a job which I though was cruisy turns out to be a massive work out and now shattered. -

Yeah all good stuff. My Dad thought his shearing days were over and then once he got into using the sling he said it was the best thing ever invented.<br />
<br />
Know what you mean about the dog - we had a really old mutt who came with the farm when Dad bought it. By the time she hit 15 the hearing and eyesight wasn't so good. Dad eventually got pissed off with her stuffing around, and drove home (3km) to get lunch. Half an hour later he walks back out to the truck and there she is bringing them in to the yard. Did everything but latch the gate! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /><br />

Pruning sucks arse. Jeez you feel it in the wrists the next day, but your grip will be spectacular for tackling <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -
Yesterday (Monday)<br />
<br />
Exercise for day-Fencing. Hands gone soft, bled like a stuck pig for most of the day. Would have been even more exercise if we didn't have a post rammer on back of tractor :happy:<br />
<br />
Too dam stuffed at end of the day to do anything yet, want to start running up hill behind house and timing it to get faster and faster, think that isn't going to happen for a few months until body fit for work. -

Did you know what you weighted in at before you started on the farm?<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Not 100per cent but around 115kg mark. Clothes are loose fitting now, and notice being trimmer when poseing in mirror on daily morning exercise....(joke) -
Saw a few of your ex-Tring RUFC boys in The Boat on Saturday night celebrating a good league win.<br />
<br />
I wandered over for a chat and mentioned I knew you.<br />
<br />
"Aaah PAJJY!" they cried "What a fucking legend!"<br />
<br />
Quite touching really. -

Classic, they are storming up the League ladder which is great too see. They maybe a tad pissed off as managed to nab a Tring rugby ball, 3 first team jerseys, manager of 1st teams CCC jacket that only the coaching staff got, 2 other jerseys and CCC Tring Tee Shirt over a short period of time

Yesterday was a killer, prunning pine trees. Got home and completely farked.<br />
<br />
Today running around catching ewes with lambing problems. Manage to get hold of them but need five mins to recover from puffing before doing anything else. Afternoon laying concrete and building work.<br />
<br />
Getting fitter, not doing as much walking around hills but still sweating most days. -

It's not getting any easier walking these hills every day. Yesterday started with mustering a paddock up hill from road to top yards which is almost straight up and down, dropped off at bottom and an hour later got to top minus all clothes except tee shirt and shorts.<br />
<br />
