Ha !!  Just have to brag a bit.  All I have to brag with  :(
Here is how these things should sound !
Save and rename to .MP4.  Turn the sound up.

The file won't open. I renamed it to Bking.mp4

I opened it with vlc player without renaming it and it plays directly.
But then Charlie, some things are not for everyone  ;D

We have weird weather.  Real English weather, cool days, mostly cloudy and we had some frequent rain exceeding 1m already this year. Tomatoes sit at about 150mm and not growing for the 3rd month.  The yardlong beans had two stretch to 500mm but the rest is around 200mm.  Weird. They're not going to make it.

The comfrey grows un-be-lievable.  I chop it up and mix with the chicken feed.  Seems every 3 weeks I have to cut them.  http://coescomfrey.com/comfrey.html  There is some oregano on the left which I also sometimes mix in with the feed.  Said to prevent many chicken ailments.

I also add some ground egg shells from the bakery and some diatomaceous earth.  If the chickens don't lay, I show them a Nando's Chicken Nuggets add.

Comfrey dries out very quickly, in one day in the sun, I dry mine in the sun on a canvas sheet.  If you store it overnight wet it already starts fermenting and if it's raining like recently you have to turn it all the time.

I use it for the wife too when she wants something done.

Someone mentioned one one of the groups that he experienced arthritis relief when he had a comfrey leaf underside pricking his skin.  Maybe someone can verify this, I haven't heard any more of this.

Note the power supply has a fuse, marked JK.  I overloaded one and the fuse needs replacement, not a scarce component it seems either.  Perhaps one can replace with a poly fuse that repairs after cooling down.
