 " All the spare time " ??? You outa ye f*ckin mind, Sean?! What 'spare time'?
I'm sat here, grabbing a brew and a smoke while my inner nerve ends are just jangling to get out there and give that cow biar door another coat. Then I have to measure up for the gangway door I have to get the materials in for and make. And I'll have to contact the bloody saw mill direct for some 4x4's. Then I can think about how many bags of concrete and get started on that damn fence.
The old render above the stall needs knocking off. Then I can re do all that stretch. Get an adaptor for my new SDS drill and I can brush those metal windows down too. Reglaze them and paint 'em up nice.
Last night my mate fixed the automatic drinker in the stall for me - saves me dragging hose pipes up and down  Must finish cutting that hedge back. Must work out how to make that bridge too. I reckon two sleepers'll do it. Just the logistics now.
Oh! Blast of sunshine there! Wonder if I dare start dragging that old straw down to the stall? Need to muck it out anyway, then hump what I remove up to my mates spud patch.
Anyway, f*ck all this. Getting nowhere sitting here talking about it. I'd better get out there and crack on!
" All the spare time " now summers coming in? You're having a f*cking laugh, surely?!

At the end of the hunting/hawking season its time for me to think about the breeding season!

Dark evenings / spare time, mate? FFS! I'm Moddie in a Chat room and that tends to kick off around 20:00 and go on till 02:00. That's why I bearly have time to 'do the fora circuit' these days. I'm in there right now, but it's all known faces and they're happy and behaving themselves. I keep looking in though
Then, seemingly soon now, I'm due to get paid a hefty whack of money owed to me for a decade by the brit govt. With that I'll - at last! - be able to buy in a ton of research doccumentation I'm after. That'll need reading. Having read all that ~ it's about traps ~ I'll need to get all my own traps out and set about catalogueing and photographing them.
Then I can finally crack on and write up the book I'm to produce about the bloody things. That'll probably take care of another couple of years of my life.
Oh; And then I'm due to have an American PP Dog Trainer fetch me over a pup. And build those fences. And paint my roof. And het the windows sorted. And render the out buildings. And dodge a nervous breakdown. And ..... Aaaaargh, jesus! Look at the f*ckin time already!
