Patrick Kavanagh's family 1926 census entry

Patrick Kavanagh's family 1926 census entry

Got sidetracked and found Patrick Kavanagh's entry in the 1926 census. Kavanagh senior is recorded as a shoemaker and himself as a farm labourer. Many of the census records are annotated with confusing amendments - there's some uncertainty here over the farm acreage. Any idea what the green numbers indicate? Do they estimate the proportion of the farm each person will inherit? Or something else?

Insanity packaging [ECM Classika, steam valve seal replacement]

The steam pressure on my ECM Classika dropped like a bomb, so I ordered a new teflon valve seal for a reasonable price and prompt delivery. However, an enormous parcel turned up stuffed full of brown paper and I couldn't see the part I ordered anywhere. Later, I found it on the kitchen floor - it was loose and must have flown out when unpacking. Anyway, there it is - that tiny white thing. I wonder if this company has ever heard of those old fashioned envelope things?
