    Watching a cow calving on the camera at the moment. Don't know how I'd manage without it now!
    All done. She spat out an EFZ bull calf. Put on my work clothes, went to shed, milked beastings and stomach tubed the calf. Gave her 4kg dairy nuts and good silage and back in home in 40mins :D. Ain't it great when it all goes right!

    Our parish is mentioned on the website alright. We have the dish even set up down at the shed but we gave up on that after my brother moved to Finland. May consider getting it again after this contract runs out! Was just very handy for me travelling round the country.

    with them you need line of sight. ok for me as there isn't a bush or a twig between the gable wall and Quinns windmills!

    And on a different note, have you read any of Christopher Fowlers "bryant and may" series?

    Can see Cairn hill, does that count?
    As for those books, haven't even heard of them. Seems like the sort of thing I'd read though. But shush, my bookcases are already packed up and I've yet to figure out how to squash another one in:pac:

    I haven't read anything by him. Are they any good? I'm not so much into crime stuff, indeed I don't read as much now as I used to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,292 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    well i used to read a lot of crime tr iller stuff, but most deal with serial killers, and since i become a father can't stomach the dead kids in book any more. Have moved a bit towards slightly supernatural crime stuff. Phil Rickmann, Ben Aaronovich and Mike Shevdon . Just came across Fowler and really enjoyed it.

    young lad came in to me this morning. I asked him the time. "7 minutes past eight daddy". Great I thought. Unfortunately he's only learning to read the clock and it was 6.35 :(

    What a morning. On my own today so got up early to get milking done, feed and home for breakfast.

    That was the plan.

    Half milking done power went. Called spark but no answer. Went to out farm for generator but it was put in with the loader in a shed that the roof was too low for tractor. Back home for loader moved it, back for tractor and attach. Back milking got finished eventually. As I left yard for cuppa spark arrived to tell me it's a problem at other side of meter. Called ESB, they came 2 hrs later and took 1.5 hrs to sort it. Only home for brekky now.

    Tell the truth if ESB the guy had all that was needed in the van, a real Aladdin's cave.

    The best laid plans, my arse!!!!

    Awful day here. Got a couple of trees that were down with the wind cut up and fences fixed back up yesterday. My wee cousin got an I pad or whatever the children version is for Christmas last year she's 4 and in her bad temper (that we tell her mother comes from the other side) threw it again the wall and put it in #####
