    Two here are getting old but still keep the hayshed empty of all vermin, the slatted shed has mice though, so I've taken to carrying down the feed from the hayshed to avoid the feckers opening bags & making a mess/wasting feed & crapping/pishing all over the bags.

    Do you mean the cats or the rats :p

    I can send her my house mousers for a week.
    Will enclose cat CV & terms of their employ. :P

    Mice get in here where my bats live, in a crack between slate roof & flat roof. Can hear them prance around the attic for a day or two, then the cats get them when they come down at the heating system.

    She won’t take a cat as she lives along the busy road and would worry about it getting killed on the road.

    Feckin pine Martin killed all her chickens and she was shook after finding them, said she doesn’t want anything bc around the house again.

    In between other jobs we made a few pounds of pork, garlic and caramelised onion sausages.
    It’s a great bit of crack.

    Last time mayo won was 1951. Tipperary beat Dublin in the final in 1920.

    Had to go to Tesco earlier. Unreal queue to get into the off licence part at half 12. Man behind me at checkout had a trolley full of trays of beer, wine and spirits.

    Just got the end of it. I think they are suggesting stopping/ restricting take away pints and something about pub openings. Id say some people are just panicking tbh.

    Think they said they are considering 10pm closing for libs and “earlier” for off licence sales.

    I don’t know, we have a poor relationship with alcohol in Ireland. It destroys allot of lives and families and alcohol related burden on health services is significant. No doubt the Cavan issue with covid was related back to serious alcohol consumption and partyingafter the county championship final. I’d worry Christmas will bring the same.

    I don’t know of a curfew is the solution and it worries me that there is a growing movement to legalise even more drugs based allot on the fact that alcohol is legal, but do we need more drugs into society or try and wean us of the demons we already have.

    I agree, every town and village is awash with whatever one might want. You'd have to wonder about the "War on drugs", because it was lost decades ago.

    Talking to eldest in Melbourne and he was shocked at the recently increasing numbers of positive cases and deaths that we have. He reckoned that we should have had a proper lockdown and curfew earlier last month like they had in Melbourne if we wanted any chance of having a normal Christmas. The one thing that he realises since he moved to Australia is that the majority of the population are compliant when it comes to the law.
    Edit - He said that since he arrived in Melbourne he has noticed the Police presence around the city more that he ever noticed the Garda in Dublin.

    Now in every townland.
