    Think it's spelled ciotóg
    That's how we spell it in the whest anyway. My father is one, but as above, forced to write with his right hand. I write with my right but use my left more when picking things up or eating/drinking etc. Think I learned it off him when I was younger!

    quadboy, should I start packing now? Am I allowed bikinis over there or is it the strange place where I have to dress like a ghost in mourning?

    Saw a safety demonstration at the ploughing. Guy was on about Ciotógs using a chainsaw. Somehthing you would never think off.
    I always think about how Joe Deane held the hurley or how many Ciotógs were on the kilkenny teams over the years. Brian Cody had a soft spot for them. Always tough to hard.

    Local Guard had his collection of classic tractors go up in smoke last week. 4 Majors, MF35 and a 20. All finished to a very high standard. Also barrels of oil and stacks of new tyres. All were stored in a poly tunnel and mysteriously caught fire. Fire burned so hot, the alloy parts of the engines ran like water.
    Strange thing is, the entire remains vanished the next day, although an area of ground nearby seems to have signs of digging having taken place.

    He wouldn't have been the most popular of fellows, if you had an interesting old machine lying about the yard, you would be plagued , until it was easier to sell than have him hanging around.

    Well how's the form. Seasons going well, been a more of less perfect season for us so far apart from one wind storm that took down a couple hundred trees. But we were lucky, quite a few irrigators got destroyed and aren't back or near back in operation yet. Weather has been rather good, dry winter and not to wet a spring just started irrigating now.

    Have three weeks of ai done now, hit 89% submission was aiming for 90% so reasonably happy, had about 10% cidr cows to which I suppose skews the results a bit. Quite a few of the cows we haven't submitted yet are the higher production cows which stands to reason I guess.

    Forcasted milk price for the season is around the $8.30 so say €5 which obviously a lot of people are rather happy with! Haven't heard to much re future prices but short term things seem to be looking fairly good.

    Earlier today I had to pry a Great Tit away from the cat and revive it before letting it fly away and about an hour ago rescued a mouse from his evil clutches then let him out the back door (minus half a tail)
    Cat is after arriving back in my bedroom window with him again.
    FFS you'd think he'd run a bit further away:mad:

    I'll shut him in the shed with the calf nuts tomorrow!

    Ah. Oh dear.

    Mouse is now eaten. :(
