You've not found the starting handle yet.
Sorta why I chose the the three point linkage on the rear. No front loader.

Well, she's had enough time to think about it.
Any sign of an egg or packed bags?
No, they just produced two today. Four birds in their prime (second season), living in complete luxury, free ranging, healthy, well fed, mite-free........14 eggs in a week, plus one that one of them ate. They're driving me nuts.
And before anyone suggests the obvious, these birds have names, and our grandchildren would never forgive us. I've given up suggesting that it's time for a new flock.
Feel free not to tell me, but I'm curious about your barn. It's a completely different construction from the Essex and Suffolk barns I deal with regularly. Whereabouts, roughly, is it, and do you know its age?

Okay, blame the cat from the Yuppie weekenders down the road, even better.

The sky is a very odd colour, that I have not noticed before, sort of yellow and grey, and all the same colour across the sky.

To the east, the west or across the whole sky. More colours towards the sunset?

There's none getting ready to fly the coop then.
Build a working model of this,
And "test it" on a rubber chicken.
If the engine turns over, check the oil level, bleed fresh diesel through it and give it a go. An extra battery in parallel might be necessary to help it turn over faster and if it still seems reluctant to fire, remove the pipe from the inlet manifold and hold a rolled up burning newspaper into it as a pre-heater.
Make sure you have water in the radiator too. People usually drained them back in the day to prevent frost damage rather than use antifreeze.

Well the grass got done just in time for more wetness so, after an ice cream and a mug of coffee, out came the cleaning kit and lubrication to give three of the bikes a quick bit of TLC. This was followed by yet more shopping research ahead of the interest payout from the saving bond - I've got almost a dozen printouts of things to get tomorrow, plus another of a company to do the guttering clearance.
