    What excuse will they have when it gets hot in the parlour on a summer's evening?:confused: Lely would have trouble competing with her.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Lovely day, the sun has been shining, the washing has dried and quite a lot of weeding done. All's well with the world and long may it last.

    Got back to NCD at about 5pm and the sun was shining, it was dull in Longford when I left. The ground here has dried up seriously here in the last few days.

    I put the chain harrow on the tractor this evening when I got home but it got too dark to work - no working lights on the 674. The ground needs harrowing as I had a few horses out up till the end of Jan. Hopefully will get it done after work tomorrow. Away with work commitments from Tuesday until Friday evening so fingers crossed the weather will stay dry enough to roll it then.

    Was lovely here today so I took a stroll to the Longford border and back! Stopped halfway in our bog to get a sup of water from the spring I remembered being there and somebody has restored it perfectly with a wee bucket hanging up for catching the water.

    Ye should have kept walking a bit further and I would have put the kettle on :)
    Fair play to the person that restored the well. A neighbour keeps access to our local well briar free during the summer but nobody uses it any more.

    Next time maybe, would be hard to walk though Ballinamuck with Dillons looking so tempting though!
    The spring used to be trickling down the peat side and you have to shimmy down the bank a bit to get to it. Now you still have to get down and jump a stream but there's a bit of metal jutting out catching the flow of water. Looks like someone just cleaned out the drain a bit and reworked the original flow slightly.

    I will take a pic of the disused well which at the time was used for drinking water by my Grandparents/Uncle and pre dated community water schemes. They used the "scuch" for water for livestock/fowl about the house.
    My Grandad used to clean out the well every year and "lime" it so that it was safe. As the youngest grandchild I hated hauling buckets of water from the well.
    I remember my Grandmam drawing buckets of water from barrels outside the house and heating the water on the range to bath/wash me.
