Lock, Stock and Chitchat a Seacht

A cow called Daisy

Have a real pet of shorhorn cow that was not meant to be calving at this time of year. However, a neighbour's angus bull did not think this was that good of an idea and visited her one day. The union was 'blessed'
Had her in wee plot beside the house with a couple of fat cows as her time was near up. She was sick to calve at 10pm last night. Just in after checking on her and her standing there proud as punch with two heifer calves and the dry cows looking on as well. Something nice about looking at a cow with newborn twin calves at 1.30 in the morning.

Now should I give 1 of these calves to my neighbour?? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Offered a few trees that had blown down here to a few lads ages ago and the trees are still there, seems to be too much work for some people, maybe they want me to cut them up ad deliver them.

I save my mothers and my turf. Two brothers order a trailer every year and play a game of chicken so I end having to save theirs also to save my ears from listening to the mother.

One brought out his turf on sat without me and was a hero for doing it. I just have mine left to bring out.

I have about four years turf saved for my mother and same for ourselves so might not bother next year.

They don't give much notice. If you can't be there do they come anyway?

It's one of those weeks where everything comes up at once and it's only tuesday.:eek:

the biggest problem with this part time farming lark is the day job(s) gets in the way of the farming

My little snookums? He's not murderous, just a tad homicidal. It's like cuddling a teddy bear with razorblades sellotaped to it.

Jaysus I'd nearly dread a 21St Now at this stage of my career. Drunkenness, loud music, late nights. Tea and bed early suits me better now!!!! Dunno whether that's a good thing or not.

Your right keep at it while your able! Not being a party pooper because I love drink and socialising, but young people nowadays seem to be twice as bad as I ever was. As I Said before maybe I'm just getting old. Just hear conversations now about how everyone was mental and I don't know how I got home etc. There's more to life than not remembering where you were the previous night.

I got a reminder on Saturday how it's not a bad thing to change as you get older. I don't go out that often but I went down to my local on Saturday night for this big fundraiser. I met the girls I'm still friends with and a group of lads we would have hung around with or shifted or whatever 20 years ago. These lads still drink there every weekend without fail. At some point in the night a cousin of one of the lads comes up to me to see if I would say yes if the cousin asked me to dance.
We are all in our late 30's:D

Probably, and mend a sprained ankle with lit candle while mumbling a prayer (for €20)
