Well... We bought the tractor.
It doesn't move. Will run wonderfully and the hydraulics seem to work well. It just doesn't "go".
Hubby says it could be a couple of different things. Shouldn't be expensive to fix, just time consuming. Yeah, like we have tons of that to go around!
I'll take a pic once it stops raining..
Congratulations. Once it is running you will be happier. [emoji1]

The flights have been complicated right from the start. There used to be an airline that flew direct from Gatwick to Kirkwall, but they pulled out of the route earlier this year and refunded our money. So we ended up booking a return to Gatwick-Glasgow with EasyJet then a return Glasgow-Kirkwall with Logan Air.

Easy Jet changed their Gatwick-Glasgow flight on the way up so we had a very long wait in Glasgow. Then Logan Air cancelled the return flight to Glasgow which gave us no choice but to get a later flight and to rebook the EasyJet Glasgow-Gatwick.

It’s worked out rather expensive unfortunately.

That's all hassle you can do without.
Enjoy your last day and have a safe trip back.

Good morning all. Hope you have an awesome Sunday.
Good morning Carol.
It's another beautiful day here.
I've just walked to the shops to buy some things to tempt Lola with
I even bought some strawberries which he doesn't usually have but he has to have his meds today so it's '....a spoonful of sugar....'
He is still in his hide but I I can hear him sniffing and shuffling around so I know he's picked up the scent and is interested.
He'll be out soon.
Hope you have a lovely day today too and I'm sure we'll 'speak' later.

I haven't managed to watch it yet. Did get a peak at the dress. I was suprised it wasn't more elaborate. But apparently Megan likes simplicity. It was still a beautiful dress though.
I just got a glimpse of the dress on on segment of the news and to me it looked too big for her. . . ill fitting???

I must admit strawberries would get me out of my hide as well. And '....makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down..." couldn't resist completing it. Lol.

Mmmmm. Still haven't watched it. So will now need to look properly. And see if I can see what you see.
Look out for the Preacher - who went on and on and on..................I was in and out of the garden and couldn't believe he was still going every time I came in..:rolleyes:
We Brits aren't used to all that energy in our churches - the Royals didn't know what had hit them :)
