It's alive....

Woke up this morning around 6:50 due to kittens playing, and realised that is was really tipping down (exactly what we need for the seed), but then I remembered that Tom was abandoned down by the compost pile with nothing but a tarp for cover, so at 7am we went out and put some liquid gold into Tom's hungry belly, and put the battery back in. It was reluctant to start (I guess the fuel was having to work through the system), but then it burst into live and we got going. The paddock was already quite muddy, but the tractor didn't even think twice about it!.

It's now back in the shed. Getting it in there is fun, you reverse to the brink of the hill and 'cause the brakes aren't all that good, as you start rolling (slowly, with the brake on hard), you slip it into first - just in case! I don't really want to knock the shed over.

Breakfast time, and I'll put photos up later today.
