I forgot to define 'graip' to those who may not know, it is a big fork, nothing like your garden digging fork but bigger and curved with the tines closer together.
BTW when doing that job one morning at about 5:30 a.m. I was kicked by a cow, and it propelled me across the walkway and into the wall on the other side where I did a very good impression of a crumpled heap;~) For a while after that I walked with a pronounced limp; L. I. M. P. pronounced limp.
Giok
