Terence Eden asking on Mastodon what people's setups look like. Here's mine - 38" ultrawide LG monitor that docks to my Framework 13, Fully standing desk, fish tank and motorbike helmets on the wall. I love my home office, but I do like heading into the office too.
Here's my annual update for this year (year 4) on the smallholding. This was one has been a mix of ups and downs.
We had a Hotpoint engineer come out to repair our washing machine yesterday. While replacing the machine, he forgot to connect the waste pipe and we came down to this mess this morning. 😡
Out for coffee this morning with my wife, as is our Wednesday morning routine, and this little guy came to sit with us.
First fire of the year and Sid is loving it.
Not sure we appreciated the giant queen wasp that came bumbling out of the chimney though.
Took the dogs out on the field this morning. All the dewey spider webs were beautiful in the morning sun.
I'm no Jack Baty, but they're good enough.
It's been a year since my little sister, Lisa, took her own life and it's still awful every single day.
Got home around midnight. I have concussion and a couple stitches in my head, but nothing serious. Few other cuts and bruises too.
By far the worst part is my back though - it's in spasm and REALLY painful.
Soooo I managed to drive our mower off a 5 foot wall and land on my head. Just waiting for a CT now.
Gonna be a long night...
We lost our favourite chicken, Amelia, last night. She was the best.
Absolutely gorgeous sky this morning.
Nelly the pup absolutely loving life in the field! 🤣
This is what rainy days were made for. 🌧️🐶
Working great 👍🏻
Last November I replaced my oldest son's PC with an £88 iMac that was so successful that I'm now doing the same thing again for my youngest son!
Wife: I need help clipping the goat's hooves. Here, hold this...
Me: ...
I have a habit of giving all our pets nicknames, there's many of them for each of our dogs. We've Nelly for 4 days and already I have:
Nells Bells
Nelly Bean
Nelly Furtado
Man Eater (after the song)
Nelly the Elephant
It's anyone's guess which will stick. Our other dogs, Tia and Sid, are t-bone and squid (short for Sqidley) respectively. 🤷🏼♂️
It's been a crazy (and expensive) couple months at home!
Our new addition to the family, Nelly, has arrived and she's causing havoc already. 🤣
The poor buzzard was still there when I was walking the dogs this morning, so clearly something was wrong. Luckily my wife was able to get hold of a local falconer who was able to catch him and hopefully nurse him back to health. 🦅
