Wrong Film

9:00 am and Farmer Franz makes a mad dash to spread some fertiliser on one of our fields. This year we haven't had any fertiliser or slurry but have to admit that the various slurry and fertiliser treatments did make a noticeable difference to the grass - it certainly was a darker green and thicker. Horses are not the best animals to keep if you want lush meadows.

Despite having at least three tractors with cabins, Franz went for the cabriolet, his Deutz 4006. He didn't hang around for a chat and I soon took off with the dogs for a walk in the relative shelter of the Bannwald in Ottobeuren, although forced to use an umbrella and regretting not having gloves. With only 5°C, it was cool.

Angie didn't even go for her normal Monday evening workout even though the sauna afterwards would have warmed her up. But her missing it was due to yet another sad but annoying "Person Damage" (suicide) on the mainline very close to Munich main station which caused enormous problems to the afternoon rush hour.
