    There wont be a cow milked in london after andy murray winning

    Watching it in Iowa, we (American and Irish) cried! What a result! There won't be a cow milked here, either. It's all soy-bean and corn.

    Well done to the Dubs. Leinster hurling champions. See Dalo had a tear in his eyes afterwards. '95 all over again, I suppose. Would love to see them go all the way this year. Great to see the hurling opening up a a bit.

    Its as open as ever I still believe the semi finalists from the previous yrs should not get a second chance. Kilkenny are starting to look the real deal again. With their injuries clearing up and players rediscovering their form they will be hard beat.

    Brittany is beautiful. Like a warmer version of Cork but without the Corkonians ;):)

    Just back from Brittany myself. Stayed just on the edge of Carnac. Brilliant Hols. The French know how to do the family holiday. And there is the added bonus of lots of cheep vino. Had a brilliant time there and the kids loved it. Packed the jeep with booze coming home, with this hot weather I cant see it lasting very long.

    Also, unlike Cork, the Irish can visit Brittany without a visa.

    Knocked hay on friday, went off to belfast for the weekend and it'll still be saved tomorrow.

    I could get used to this stress free haymaking:D

    At least It would be if I didnt break the haybob:mad:

    gave it a final shake with the neighbours 4 rotor Krone tedder. No comparison with a haybob.

    Still, along with the heard test and geting some ferti;ozer out I think I made the most of the day off work

    wise man ,

    I was delivering a load of lambs yesterday and saw a fair bit of the the countryside , saw a lot of hay well discoloured and still not baled

    Obviously cut last Thurs/Fri and got caught with a few drizzly morns,
