There's a site at Nuneaton with goats, but I've never heard of a cow on a plot!

He loves animals. He wont even let me dig until he's checked no worms are there, but i think he's gonna have to lower his ambition on this one.

Only cow i'll be having , is on my plate with roasts veg and gravy  ;D

I occasionally threaten to put a cow on the balcony. If you marry a Madingo woman, you're traditionally supposed to give her either an ounce of gold or a cow. If she starts saying she hasn't got enough gold (as if she could wear it all at once!) I threaten her with the cow.

Hi there i gotta keep this quick , as my pc has decided not to like me no more. Been doing loads down the allotment . Put plastic sheeting on the building at the back as a green house alternative. Also put a fence up.

Ellis and my mom doing good even got my GF down there digging. We put a fence up at the front

We even planted some herbs , winter onions , and raddishes. And someone gave us some leeks so fingers crossed.

Ill update you more when my pc is fixed .....heres some photos

Like Lish I remember the first pics you posted on 5th Aug. Fantastic results, you must be so pleased. Glad Ellis is enjoying  the plot as well. What a team you have got..I have just spent 5/6 hours clearing my greenhouse, cutting the lawn and one or two other jobs and although I am willing to carry on the body is weak!!!! Look forward to some more great photos from you.

Last year kept getting random resets , freezes.  And had to have a new mother board and new processor.

Keeps freezing now between every 10 min or 10 hrs not when a particually program is open. I even reformatted it and left it ,and it froze .

I phoned my extra warrenty company who said leave it in bios  and see if it freezes and it did so i think it must be a hardware problem. So ill give them another call later

is it freezing and shutting down ?  or just freezing ?

possibly an overheating problem on the processor.  OH has regularly had to put more "compound" on either the bottom of the heatsink and fan or on the bottom of the processor to cure it.  processors get weally weally hot !

The compound goes between the heat sink and the processor. It doesn't wear out though; it sounds as though it's a case of an extra fan, or maybe a new PSU with more fans. I don't think much of the cheap ones that come supplied.
