Be careful with the oil boiler and clothing. Overalls set ours on fire in placement many years ago. Lucky we were around when it went on fire...life lesson learnt
Yea, I hate the smell of wellies in the house, we use a shed in the yard for wellies and waterproofs
Must be something wrong with my nose, I can't smell a thing !
I'd get depressed togging on and off in a garage or shed. We've a boiler room with its own door in especially for the job.
Our house is our home.
Time to batten down the hatches here and hope the morning isn't too severe, although I'd say I'll be out tonight with a cow calving.
Best of luck to those near the coast, I hope everyone stays safe and nothing gets damaged.
70 mph gusts promised here, the neighbours old hayshed will probably take off I'd say. Hopefully it doesn't come this direction
Yep - tried to dry out long johns that way a few years ago, and it didn't end well:(
It's mainly when I go visiting after a shower I smell the boots at the door, generally the working clothes you're wearing at work stink anyway and mask the smell when you go into your house. You wouldn't want to smell the interior of my jeep during lambing when we had all the sheep.
Not many now have dirty working boots and work clothes in the house nowadays
Don't have children, don't think I'd have the patience for their carry on any way.
Just watching Late LATE Show about kidney transplants reminded me of a local that got her mothers kidney when she was a child, she's in her fifties now and her kidney packed in and her daughter then gave her a kidney.
Ray darcy interviewed her and she told him that her daughter only had the kidney borrowed as she gave it to her daughter in the first place when she was being made in the womb
Apologies wrangler I thought you had mentioned children in previous posts. My mistake.
Listening to Jordan Petersons book at the moment, 12 rules for life. Rule number two care for yourself as youd care for someone in youre care. How many times have most of us not finished out an antibiotic programme or similar? Well the said reality is despite the hardship of dialysis and poor quality of life pre transplant for recipients, the most common cause for failed transplants is not taking the immunity blockers as prescribed after the transplant i know two fellas aroubd the 30 mark at present soon to start dialysis due to neglect of their diabetes long road ahead for them.
Daughter here has 3 kidneys, apparently more common than you'd think as alot of people would never get a scan on their kidneys. Oh has 1, had the other one removed aged 1
No problem, I always say there was some child spared when I didn't have them.
My wife was very disappointed and then she had a hysterectomy in her thirties which didn't go well and dealt the final no, I thought I was going to lose her at one stage.
I lost my only brother and my parents shortly after in my twenties,
Since that I've learnt there's just some things you have no control over
Is there any chance anyone on here has a number for a cure of a sprain or anything similar that might help? 11 days held back with it now and getting fed up. Have rang a number for burns several times and found great relief from it.
Sounds like more than a sprain , did you get an xray
you’d need to be very soft for a sprain to hold you back after 11 days. Maybe something else going on.
11 days is much time. How bad a sprain, they can take months to recover fully. Plenty ice will help.
clear herd test this morning. The vet came early enough tg so I could bring lads to a mace shop in neighbouring village- Johnny Sexton & Edel McMahon are doing a meet and greet.
I’d know Edel personally and to have to queue for a photo. The lads are excited though.
New stuff isn't worth it imo
If you have to put it in put in half length sheets of it.
Unless you really need it I wouldn't bother
I don't give a dam who is coming to visit. The Wellingtons come into the utility room with me. I spend 14 hours a day in them this time of year. And surely I'm entitled to have them dry and warm before going out facing into a day of mud and muck.
Not only are the government fuuucking you, I'd say a lot of you are getting pussy whipped as well 😉
some of these houses are too clean to live in. A lady was telling me that I should be doing an hours hovering a day, everyday on the same floors ffs.
They reckon the reason so many kids have asthma these days, is down to ultra clean houses. Their immunity doesn't develop right.
That certainly does not describe this house, but the kids still have Asthma.
A farm i visited a few years ago the woman said she throws a few buckets of water on the kitchen floor and uses the yard brush...I'd love to see it.
There's an older couple locally and the wife is getting a bit feeble and less able to keep on top of the house work. She'd have kept everything well in times gone by and the husband spent most of his waking minutes outside, the house was her domain.
Seemingly she was pestering him lately to help her with some of the heavier chores, washing the floors in particular. He eventually agreed and set to work but it must not have been up to her standards and whilst supervising she slipped and broke her leg. The poor man is now left tending to her and trying to keep on top of both the inside and outside work. He was telling my father that he intends to leave a good grip on the floors going forward and that the next time there to be touched he'll be digging it off with a spade.
Spent a couple of hours today picking stones in a few spots I reseeded last year. And by reseeded I mean fired loads of clay onto drains that were previously filled in and had sunk down. Should of picked it last September or whenever I fixed it up but wasn't arsed. Not much else to be at these days in fields and needed to be done. Still no slurry or fert out here. Father is panicking about it but not much point in that.
Away from the weather I've been flat to the mat doing stuff to the new house. Spent the last week or more doing floor insulation and all that entails. Ready for underfloor pipes now and then the actual floor itself. Slowly getting there
I organised a cleaner for my parents, it's a girl my mam used to teach in school years ago. Their house is normally very clean anyway but the cleaner does all the **** jobs and doesnt mind. A bit of company for my mam too. Helps that they know her
Got a robot cleaner few months back great job would definitely recommend
Just back from a few days in Portugal, weather was lovely, would seriously depress you coming back here to this weather.
Up da Banner!
