    Adrian forgive me for bringing this up but you’ve mentioned several times that you’re tired. Please do not ignore signs that your body might be sending to get a checkup. My father and my best friend both went months thinking they were just unusually tired. Their stamina was down but neither thought it was anything that wouldn’t pass on its own. In both cases it turned out to be a heart issue (coronary artery disease). A simple stress test (a treadmill exercise) caught the issue in time to do something. Please consider seeing a doctor or cardiologist. As I said. You’ve mentioned it often in the time I’ve been binge watching your videos, too often to be overlooked. ❤

    great to see the silage in.. blessed with the calm to get the cover on. My dad (who's 82) was saying yesterday that his father, while reminiscing about the Epsom Derby (where we were born) which used to be held on the first Wednesday in June, remembered snow occasionally at that time. So the cold in June is nothing new really.. take care, thanks for the videos...

    Total respect for listening to what your body was saying! Having been carer to all 3 of my grandparents, i completely understand what you mean by dreading the phone ringing. It's not easy, for anyone going through that situation. If us viewers can ever do anything to ease the load, just holler 🙂

    You know what, we did the same thing this year basically just showed the lads what fields to cut and they came and mowed, raked and put it in they even gave us a hand to cover it as it was spilling rain where they were going next ( actually it rained all around us that day but we didn’t get any) . It was a long hard spring and we had the slurry pit full so we knew that we were going to be a few days early and late getting the pit empty and made the decision to just pay the extra few bucks and give ourselves a chance as we were also spun out. Sometimes you just need a little less pressure and we who are of that age are trying to mind our parents which can be very difficult ( especially when they don’t want to be minded) anyway regards from Wicklow.

  • @andrewjones-productions
    @andrewjones-productions 7 месяцев назад +2

    I think you did absolutely the right thing in getting someone else to cut the silage for you. I understand what you said about carrying the phone at all times and sometimes dreading when it rings. At the moment, your phone probably feels as heavy as a trailer full of silage in your pocket. For the sake of anyone out there who feel some kind of obligation and 'must' that you have to do everything yourself, well as Adrian demonstrated, no, you don't. Only the job needs doing, but delegating or paying someone else to do it is perfectly okay.

      They have the wires all in so hopefully get connected soon, we have wireless broadband but it’s that congested it’s pretty much useless got. Takes 6-7 hours to upload a video, can only do so between 12am and 6am or it will drop off and disconnect. Not sure how it works but it’s Vodafone who came knocking on the door. 1 Gig for €50 per/m for fibre. Paying near €60 at present for the other.
      It will be a game changer if it works as they say.

    • @IFarmWeFarm
      @IFarmWeFarm  7 месяцев назад +1

      I never did any research on this one, we put in wireless broadband a few years back. Was great for the first 6 months but deteriorated rapidly after that, we rang about it to complain several times but got knowhere. So decided to cancel it! That word cancel changed things, they came out and changed the router and made a few little adjustments and “bingo” we were back like the beginning at over 50mb. 3 months later it’s unusable again and costing a fortune a month.
      We’re getting less than 2mb at times so only happy to try something else. 🤞🤞

The fibre optic was installed by the government but very few people upgraded their connection from the house to the street connection point hence the old telephone copper wire .

    A thought for next year on the silage pit experiment - although it might not be affordable! how about getting some of those concrete interlocking blocks, to build up the back end of the pit, my thought is it would prevent wastage on the edge, but might not be worth it unless you find some going cheap? Then you could take them down as you start using the silage.

    Dear Adrian, could you and Sinead make a workable plan to include dedicated time off AWAY from the farm, as a recurring event in your lives? Sounds impossible, but I think the two of you could make a workable plan and execute it. Life is lived in stages. Each stage has its specific requirements. Ignore that reality to your peril. Wishing you and Sinead relief, and being surrounded by family love.
