well to catch up, steve suggested a weekly photo of the farm to gain a sense of place so here is a photo of tesco direct, made from parts of a tesco lorry, with added extras.Its used behind a quad bike to fetch sheep in from feild so we dont have to walk, hence - direct from field to pen. Wanted also to point out the floor is slatted for wee to escape through and to make washing out easier, however the back door when down is steep and so sheep find it a bit difficult , so some time is wasted in the loading!
kate can you direct me to something writen about the canoes and the cargo, i am reading a great book currently - perceptions of the environment - essays in livelihood, dwelling and skill. T Ingold and in this he also talks about similiar things - anyway would be good to see source.
lou very excitied about tape - address is 79 main road, uffington, stamford, pe9 4sn 0771 364 7715 i promise to look after and safe return, maybe payment in a print will surfice? Also I concur with commets re value etc
steve re sheep who cant be bothered to stand to eat and kneel, its to do with them having bad front feet - foot rot normally and so they kneel out of pain! - just to set you straight. Anymore farming questions will obviously be answered forth with !!!!
Also what about chicken tikka masalla, as its now the nations favourite dish ? where does that fit?
Well for me this blog is interesting to read and hard to post to, steve i know likes to talk and finds it easier to put out there the thinking, i find it hard, it comes back to the "im stupid hangup" but i will try. Please dont respond with a "your not thick" comment , i was not fishing for compliments.!!!!or even reassurances
With regard to objects in collection, i was reading about the weaving of a basket this morning and how the writer considered the basket to be grown, not made and then linked this to the landscapre and how this is grown not made and i am now considering this. I like the fact he thinks that the distinction between living things and and artefacts is soft and that these things are not that different.
Also was reading about other stuff for dissertation and came across something that made me think about the peck, and other measuring devises in artemis - they set the parameters of the process but do not prefigure the form, thought this was interesting also in thinking about feilds and the activity that happens in them etc etc....... so still thinking about the cargo!!
well there you go, make of that what you will

welcome to the Blog - it does take a bit of getting used to and it's like when you start writing text messages becomes another mode of communication which is sometimes quite personal but as Von says people only give away what they want to. Well I've felt thick today reading my birthday philosophy book - It was just too dense and I struggled -Einstien said make things as simple as possible but no simpler -I think we should take a feather out of his cap and think less and do more. Those sheep are just lazy bum shufflers and often present massive clagnuts thus proving they can't even be bothered to wipe their arses
he also said - in theory, practice and theory are the same but in practice there not.
but remember thats alright for him to saw, he was a clever bugger who wrote clever things and read clever books.
i celebrate my own worthless-ness instead
and also is clagnuts one of those steve words?! either way i like it.
the book is Malinoski Argonauts of the Western Pacific - will find a proper ref as this is from 1929 Kate
