Great start to the day. At 05:00 this morning I was awaken by one of my donkeys honking. The other donkey had got out of the field somehow. I was out there in my pajamas in the pouring rain trying to catch the bastard. Once I caught him he wouldn't move. Try pulling a stubborn male donkey on wet grass in your pajamas. I ended up tying him to the back of the Landrover and dragging him across the field back to his enclosure. Nice to know my Defender is more than one donkey power. Respect for my Defender.

Did you attach his tail to the truck?
 
A 110 would have been handy today as I wanted a couple of 13' scaffolding planks from a new local builder's merchant that's recently sprung up very close to me so as the 90 is newly painted and up for sale and the 2a is no where near finished I though I could carry one on my shoulder and go get the next one later, anyway gets to the builder's merchant ask's about the scaffolding planks and goes to pick one up and thought f8ke that and gave it up as a bad job so it will have to wait till the 2a is finished :(

Rags on the roof of the 90, tie the front of the planks to the bumper with rope, tie the rear of the planks to the towball frame.
 
Could do but it would mean climbing all over the 90, think I will ask a mate to walk over with me and carry one between us, there is a pub on the way back so I think he will :D
