the plan - and the hay

I'd decided to put Molly back on hay - see how she does, but the haylage, whilst good value, is too difficult in the car, it's ok with a van bought in bulk at the start of the season but given that the haylage is very wet and very heavy, and the hay gets delivered, and is good this year, i decided to go back to that. This meant re-organising my area so as to be able to store the hay NOT under the leaky bit of roof.

I'd been told he was delivering Monday, so i put my order on the board this morning. could move stuff on the weekend.

email at lunchtime - it had been delivered today, and was in the barn.

so the plan had been to ride - the result was, woman-handling 12 bales of hay (4 trips with the wheelbarrow) round the yard from the barn to my storage area. the stuff didn't get re-organised of course, and Molly didn't get anything done with her...

Hate it when that happens!

I have luckily temporarily suspended the hay handling. The guy next door sends a young man over with a trailerful and he unloads and stacks it in my storage area. Much better than little me unloading and stacking 50-60 bales. Even thinking about hauling 12 bales at this point wears me out. Hope your body doesn't pay for it tomorrow!
