A day in the life of Shambling Shaman

[Shambling Shaman]

Ok British Red did this and I thought I would do one.

My Days are not the same but certain aspects are.

06:30 Get up (I like an hour before the eldest gets up)

Make some Breakfast

Fresh baked bread

Got bacon so treated my self

Eldest gets up has breakfast get ready for school
08:25 leave house and to day we need the barge so need to take the small boat or Wobble as shes called

Cross Loch to meet school car, view from pier

Get the barge

Go and get 1st load of manure

Take over to the walled garden

Find that the tipper function is broken and have to shovel off manualy

Repeat twice - batteries go flat in camera
15:15 cross loch to pick up eldest from school.

return trailer ready for repeat tomorrow I need 3 more loads

All in all this counts as a s#@* day


Sorry for boring you all... ... ...but thats one day in my life.

Forgot Power off due to work on power lines so could not have shower strait away - So posted this (laptop battery ok) had 2 drams then power so showered.

Really enjoyed that

I've lived in town all my life - I can't get my head around taking the kids to school via boat

Just out of interest where's your nearest shop or post office?

Great thread fella

We used to holiday up there when I was a kid, great place to live.

My usual day involves a 1hr motorway trip followed by 8hrs in an office, then another 1hr motorway trip home. No boats for me just traffic jams. I love the M1.

Package on it`s way today Rob
