Done:P

Sorry about the delay, I had to go to the Doc this morning. I had the vet in to check the poly bull as he was a bit lame in the front leg so I locked him in the crush and was tying a rope on his front leg when he kicked with the back leg and caught my arm on the side gate.

The vet was a bit worried about a broken arm so she made me go to the doctor but all OK but fairly sore.

I'm hauling pig slurry out of a farm for the past few days. Anyway I pulled in for an oncoming tractor on the lane and cut front tyre of the tractor off a pipe which is part of a bore hole for a proposed new road between Waterford and Limerick. The pipe was unmarked and over grown with grass and briars. It belongs to the NRA. Are they responsible for the pipe and the damaged caused ?

Sore at the elbow, took milking handy and the girls were quiet enough after a few sweeties to help calm them down a small bit as well.

I got invited to join a game of 7 a side tonight so I'm still trying to decide what to do there:o

Trying to tie a rope on a bulls front leg so it could be lifted for the vet to look at. He kicked with his back leg and caught my arm against the bar of the crush gate.

My own fault really, I was looking the wrong way and he was always nervous in the crush so a third time in a little over a week wasn't on for him.

Yeah, I spotted that this morning and it looks like only part of the story being told. The whole eating calf ration part kinda took any seriousness out of it.

If it is that cooked calf stuff I won't say I haven't been tempted myself. Especially with a big dollop of warm milk on it.

Saves coming out of the dairy for breakfast.

Third time it burst FFS , why would they have the window open or not got a better vision glass ?
I never had to build up that much pressure to spread slurry

Youngest son and I recently re-visited the Natural History Museum in Dublin. I used to regularly bring both sons to the Natural and Archaeological museums when they were growing up. I was looking forward to the visit and been educated by the youngest with his recent degree. During our walk around we both pondered on that black and white picture of the dead Blue Whale in Wexford.
Anyway within a week or so I partially heard a radio programme (RTE or Newstalk??) about a guy who made a documentary (??) about his endeavors into researching the history of the Wexford Whale.
The Natural History Museum in London are going to unveil the skeleton of this female blue whale that was captured in Wexford all those years ago. Unfortunately I cannot post a link as the rural internet is ****e.

Thank you. I will forward the link to youngest.

Not much traffic on the internet at this time of night so here go's fingers crossed - a link to the Natural History Museum exhibit in London with the Blue Whale.

If I could wave a magic wand I would love to bring youngest to the Natural History Museum in London after his conferring (October) as a present for his achievement.
Do I need my passport up to date? His is so no worries there.
About how much for flights and accommodation for a weekend in London?

Shpudnik

Ryanair will get you there and back cheap anyway and plenty of options in terms of flight times.

You don't need to stay in the centre as the public transport is a dream compared to here. You will pick up a hotel cheap enough on the out skirts and you can use your debit card on the underground like a leap card.
