Moo call is no good in this situation.

If she doesn't have a tail it might work on her wrist

All jobs done. In the yard since 5:30 so I can get away to a 10 mile run. Stop for dinner on the way home with the wife and kids and maybe a pint or three. Half an hour to check everything when I get home and thats it.

Spring/Summer must have arrived, not only did i spot a swallow today but the curlews (or one curlew anyway) is calling there now.

Just after spotting our first pair of swallows on the esb line beside the house. Summer is indeed on the way.

Seen a car pull in & park at the old house yesterday so being cautious I went over to get something out of the machinery shed (as ye do)
Turns out they are far out relations from Longford coming back to see the homeplace. They'd found out we existed after we sent back a letter of estate or however it's worded to a solicitor in England when he was looking for next of kin.
Great interest in history so they're going scuba diving in the lake beside us looking for the cannon that Humbert lost, apparently. Tagging along in the kayak for the craic, seems to be the weather for it!

We bought 3heifers at the mart yesterday all2years old. One spent the whole night bawling her head off and the yard she’s in is closest To my window......fit to kill her this morning and she’s still bawling!! Dad thinks she must have been drinking another cow as she’s with 2others from her herd and has food and water. And then I finally got asleep and woke up to more rain-not in my happiest mood!!

I had visions there for a minute of the scuba divers looking for a phone.

On the subject of scuba diving.
Why when entering the water do they fall backwards out of the boat?
Because if they fall forward they'd still be in the boat!

Thank you. I'm here all day

66 minutes. Happy with that as there wasn't a flat part to the course. Long drags uphill and sharp drops down so no time to recover from the ups. Last mile in 5:40 which I am really happy with.

Just spot sprayed a few nettles and dock with grazon pro. Dirty shower came out of nowhere there now. Spray applied about 45mins before rain. Will it have any effect now?

I have heard the term before.

I did a bit of that carry on on trips to Baginbun head and then on the Barrow at Graignamanagh and St.Mullins.

I'd say be fine Reggie. Often when finishing a field a mist would descend and you wouldn't notice it after.

Hopefully. Bloody shower lasted 20 mins. Started light but got heavyish near the end. Was disgusted. Bone dry out there again now. Bloody cloud was waiting for me to finish the tramp...

Seeing the notice in the farming press and also the signs on the lamp posts in various places is making me wonder why are they collecting silage wrap/plastic when, (especially reading the fodder crisis thread), there is a bit of silage feeding to be done yet.

Doubt there a time limit by when it must be collected.

Most farmers would have a choice of dates in may and june, I see westmeath is late april, but plenty of later dates in neighbouring counties
