Here's a quote I heard today on the Marion Finucane show today.



"In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true....Mass propaganda discovered that it's audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow,
The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness."

Hannah Arendt.
1906 - 1975.

There won’t be a cow milked in Offaly this evening if Lowry wins the golf.

Delighted for him. Especially with all of the sh1te we all listen to about McIlroy and how down to earth Lowry is by comparison.

He wouldn't know where Clara is.

pity Lowry didn't dance like Seamus Darby

I saw him on Tommy Tiernan show a few weeks ago and he came across as a very down to earth guy.

All the twins are flying along!

Brought the kids shopping this morning. My dad said he'd do the herding. 3 groups of cattle mixed. The one day we are not around. Just spent the last hour unmixing them . There are good fences . Just barbed wire got wrapped around electric fence wire.

Same as that , it was on the Tommy Tiernan show I got a feeling of what he was like . Just the kind of person you would like to see representing Ireland in any sport

Can you cut hedges or not at the moment? We have the hedges on the road that are getting v wild and not the safest.... but I’m confused if we can actually cut them!

It's a bit of a grey area, you can cut on safety grounds but I still wouldn't go near trees branch's or thick shrub. Strim the grasses a few feet up is all Id chance. Our lane is getting the same way. The few bends and house entrances are more of a blind spot/danger so I'll be strimming, just the grass/briars though.

Great day out had on the heritage breeds farm at Newbridge House in Donabate Co/ Dublin. Some fine stock of rare breed cattle,sheep, pigs and poultry. Lovely display of old farm machinery and traditional farmyard buildings too. Fine beach nearby too.

It is a great facility for urban families living in NCD be it going for a picnic/walking your dog or bringing the children to the playground. Unfortunately most people that visit won't pay to go into the farm.
In my younger days I used to draw bales of hay from there (small squares and laterally rounds) behind the 784. I wouldn't do it nowdays as there is little or no respect for farmers around here anymore especially when driving a tractor on the road. It's ironic considering the dairy/veg/tillage farmers in this area provided the food that most of these people were reared on.
