      making me a chicken tractor and re-fencing the pig pen - 78 years old, what a star

      I have to ask what a chicken tractor is? He does sound a star and hugs for you for coping with so much.

      Just finishing a cuppa and then HHC of dusting the bedrooms before I spot of gardening as it is quite mild out.
