The 2 litre plastic bottles, filled from the hot tap are a handy way to thaw pipes. No need for the kettle and no risk of scales from boiling water.

Few beers and a night on the town is just what I’d need.

The wind is after getting stronger here in the last half hour. No snow falling but the wind is blowing the snow off the fields. There is a large crane working at Dublin Airport erecting what I presume is the new air traffic control tower and I cannot see the warning red blinking lights on it anymore

Did you see the woman on the news after arriving into Dublin airport with shorts on her :eek: seriously it's March , I'd say she was frozen

Who had flat batteries this morning? I had to jumper the car, use the pull cord on the quad and use a gas torch on the air breather to start the tractor. I then had to break nearly a foot of rock hard ice in rivers and streams to let water into sheep as I brought them all in from the mountains. I suffered -10c at over 700 metres on the Kerry hills this morning at half seven. Wouldn't change it for the world, the joys of living on the land.

Snow inside every Shed this morning, hate to think what it might be like by morning. I moved cattle from the worst affected pens, really hope nothing calves for a few days.

Reggie. · 01-03-2018 10:00PM
