Any eggs yet Codger?

I honestly don't know why Codger speaks to me, as i do give him a rough time. :)

For instance. i took my heavy duty post rammer over the other day to drive the posts in, when we had finished he was breathing like someone well into their seventies, then realized he is.... :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
