Mad Monday

I knew it was going to be one of those days at 7.45 this morning when the Ranger wouldn't start. Not particularly cold, battery Ok, plenty of fuel. Fuel! Young son had filled up with diesel from a tank at his work place which I have since discovered had been untouched for 10 years. Water, rust and sediment in the fuel now means the Rangers tank has to be emptied and cleaned along with fuel pump, filters etc.
I took the other 4x4 to the wood in order to repair a couple of high seats and then realised the gate keys were in the other truck which I had towed to the garage. After retrieving them I then walked half a mile through boggy almost impassable woodland to the first high seat to find I had forgotten the branch loppers which I needed.
Back to the farm at lunchtime to be informed the hunt are working this area tomorrow which will bugger up my planned evening stalk.
To cap it all I have just discovered my venison freezer was accidentally switched off about four days ago and it's contents have part thawed. Prior to discovering this I had checked my fruit store to find rotting spuds, squashes and apples in large numbers and also that pheasants I had shot and hung on Saturday were already plastered with fly eggs but fortunately have not spoiled the meat.
Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.
