These long nights are starting to drive me mad the last few weeks, play Astro turf for an hour on a Thursday night and that's the height of the excitement for the week. Badly in need of a new hobby for the winter!!

Feck the b*tc*es!! God that sort of thing would really zap the life out of ya.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I think the fact that the kale is high and wet wouldn't be helping things. Very easy to have the current earth away.

I think I seen a lad in IFJ or on internet that used to put up a second fence about 3 yards back from the other just in case they broke through the first. Extra work may be, but it could be an idea

I have a few years on you redz, but when you have kids you won't ever complain about long dark evenings. Currently sitting in front of the fire with my 2 & 1/2 year old watching Humf (cartoon)

Bad luck me own fella is a hoor for going in under the bales as I drop them have to get out of of tractor make sure he is away from it.

Very sorry to hear that, you would be gutted when something like that hsppens. You better hope the folks over on the Pets forum dont read about it, liable to call the Gardai. I made a suggestion that a postr should consider using Storm or get a good terrier to deal witg rats on the farm, instead of getting feral cats. Instant 1 week ban for advocating killing animals!

Gout and rise a few stone walls during the day and cut a bit of Hazel and you'll be well tired by half 6 you'll only want to see the couch after it

Buddy of my mine in a similar position to yourself a few years ago, he got himself an old tractor to do up. Will have it ready by Paddy's day...... just not sure which year!
