I have been with Eric today clearing fallen branches from around the fields edges where they had fallen down over the winter. I didn't really do much except clear the rubbish away but because Eric was using the chainsaw someone had to be with him in case of an accident.
While watching him I got to thinking - I know, that's not good is it! A good friend of mine mentioned how Eric has left himself open for loads of leg pulling after nearly getting busted by the cops. My first reaction when he was telling us about it was to laugh, and that's just normal, especially for anyone who knows Eric. However, I thought I might like to be different, you know what I'm like? So I'm thinking if it might be a an idea to take him to the farm store and buy him some new trousers. I have a bit of money I could use, so it wouldn't cost dad anything. I'm sure Eric can buy his own trousers, but rather than just take the piss I feel it would be nice to do something positive for him. Especially considering how much he's helped me learn the controls of the tractors and what have you since I came here. It doesn't mean that I have to be totally boring, I could still pull his leg as well.
Anyway, I don't know what anyone things. You probably think me crazy to be honest. Of course I will have to get it past mum as well. Also I will need to borrow transport too. I think it would be best not to tell him where he's going until we get there. I have all weekend to think about it or even if to do it or not. Of course I could buy him a subscription to weight watches. I reckon it's easier to just buy the trousers than it would be to get Eric to stop eating mum's big breakfast though.
