Kids enjoyed it & that's what matters

Nothing like spending a night in a tent with the two boys during a thunder and lightning storm. Both lads remember that night soo well.

The worst thunder and lightening that I remember was during a shower of snow. The lightening reflecting off the snow would blind ya

That was a cracking game of football and thoroughly enjoyable.

It was. Kildare have closed the gap between the Dubs and the rest of Leinster. A game like that should bring them on.

We were in a campsite in Killarney a few years ago and a brute of a storm passed over. Opened up all blinds and lay in bed drinking tea watching the show.

Also watching a Dutch couple in a small two man tent try and rescue their belongings as the tent reached saturation, they bundled everything into their car and spent the night in it.

Halloween two years ago we were on a site for the weekend, right along the sea and a serious gale blew up, we were the only caravan there and the site was closing the next day. The caravan was bouncing something serious, at 3am I had to go out and move the jeep on the wind side to act as a wind break - then spend an hour googling what windsoeed is required to flip a caravan over, turns out it's allot, thankfully.

Snap.

Cattle have plenty of grass and still broke into the turf. I was half night repairing the fence and moved them out this morning at sunrise.

A pint of tea is all I'm getting. OH has an hours work today so I'm going into a fun world with the small lady. I then might get a pint with the lunch.

Would ya not be all groggy after a pint during the day. 6pm would be the earliest I'd have a drink unless I was on holidays. Even then I'd be knackered after a pint.

Ah no, I like a pint with my lunch when I can have it. Wouldn't be groggy in the slightest- just thirsty.

Best sessions are the early morning ones when ya leave the early house around lunchtime and the sun burns the eyes out of your head.
Wake around nine that night and tip down for the cure the joys of shift work in Dublin in my earlier days.

Football for the kids5 nights at least every week. Fairly curtails any drinking time. Its great though as there's a walking track around the pitch. 1km a lap. Eldest lad does 9/10 laps running and I walk it. Great to clear the head

I'd be the same...

I worked in London for a spell years ago, and having a pint or two on a Friday with lunch was a big thing over there. Sure you'd be no good when you went back to the office afterwards

Won't do them any harm. A couple if handy minors from the 2015 and 2016 Leinster winning panels will strengthen them as well.

The harvest has began around here. A few combines out taking advantage of the couple of good days forecast.

Buford T. Justice XIX

Yeah, a good few going here today as well.

Went to my god daughters confirmation at the end of February. I ordered a pint with my dinner. I was the only one drinking at the table. Hadnt had a drink in a month and the dagger looks I got for ordering a pint weren't worth it

I have never camped out ever and zero desire. Like the comforts of running water and bathroom to much and a comfortable bed.

The likes of the music festivals is a joke, €200/300 to camp in a mucky field , eat €10 burgers, €10 pints and hardly be able to hear the music.

Lakill Farm is changing to Worthy Farm. Better than a milking cow, I'd say, any day.
