i am happy to announce crazy acres is getting back in stride.judy and i came back from a stint at a rehab center in danvers about noon, and judy asked What's that noise?-- we Decided it sounded like someone snoring--must be one of the dogs---except it sounded like it was coming from upstairs----- DOGS DO NOT GO UPSTAIRS IN OUR HOUSE-- THE STAIRS ARE METAL SPIRAL ---so Judy went up and came back saying the door was shut so she didn't open it but there is someone up there snoring and it must be a man because the toilet seat is up.----- all right ---So what man was asleep at noon upstairs in my house... there had been such a turmoil the night before getting the cameras up and getting five or six new animals in and settled that it must have been in somebody associated with that bunch ... OK so who could be minus a husband and not notice or be concerned about it.. that would be Elizabeth and sure enough we found that nick had said he was going up there to take a nap and he'd fallen asleep----- well she didn't have the nerve to wake him up and she just left him there----- OK but that was last night and it was now noon and all we knew was that he was at least breathing because of the snoring..... eliz decided there was no need to wake him and left to go tend to the animals at Meredith farm..--- with the plan that if he gets up and wants to come find her, janine's two vehicles were sitting there and he could just take one of those over to Meredith---because Janine was also sleeping the clock around from dealing with the auction and animals the day before.
so at the moment.... one car is gone and there is no snoring-- could be he woke up and took janine's car to meridith and janine was still sleeping or working-- the other option is janine went somewhere in her car and he stopped snoring-- which could be a very serious matter !----do you see the kind of problems i have to deal with? ?
i perked this morning's coffee-- you know--- perked is better even if it is more work.....
now the other bad thing i have to pass on.....when nick got up, he told me this place was like CLARKSON FARM - a british thing i had not heard of... so for the next 2 hours i was glued to the computer watching/ reliving the process of learning to farm... the british comic way on a huge farm measured more in m iles than acres...
who knew---- that amazon carried this kind of thing--- a hugely entertaining british comedy about a guy who buys a farm- and gets idea after idea 99% have some screwy complication-- like he goes and buys a lamberganni tractor-- which does not fit in his barn door... and is too long to turn around in a 3 point turn
finally -- with great pride ---unloading 1 ton of fertalizer --- figuring he was done.... til the driver points out there are 37 more tons in his order on the truck.
the whole thing hit very close to home. he gets caught between his accountant and the neighborhood "kid" who knows the farm from working on it.......
...... with permits from the town committees protecting salamanders vs building a farm stand...i think i only watched part 1 for ?2 hours??? so when we are off camera-- have a look at that. amazon-- then clarkson farm and you don't have to buy anything.
the british are super at comedy especially "situation " comedy
someone sent me this
