    A few light showers here. Picking up silage now

    Hope rain will stay away for you. How's the ground will they have to go half loads for any of it?

    Coldest July in over 20 years according to the indo. Well believe it. Grass growth nonexistent here the last few weeks.

    Absolute monsoon here now, and all night as well, and Monday night and all day Sunday as well, u get my drift. Cows coming in for silage in an hr or so, they'll go dry if this continues

    Stop, have perfect covers for them now if the weather was dry they.d be away, hopefully this will be the last of anything heavy for a while. Still have to get slurry out on silage ground and burn off ground for reseeding haven't had the weather to spray in a couple of weeks

    Ground just starting to soften a bit, a bit of warm weather and growth will take off. Glad i followed frazzleds advice and blanket spread last week. 2 more loads tomorrow and the tractor going in to get the gearbox sorted.

    Quote from the infamous Donegal Postman at the end of May:

    //Michael has been studying the signs and he says they all point to sunshine and high temperatures this summer.
    He bases his predictions on years of observing Donegal wildlife.
    He said: "Nature and animals are very knowledgeable, they know what’s going to happen with the weather.
    “They have an instinct which we as human beings don’t have.”//

    Total clown!

    yr.no is not accurate on hour to hour forecast so how can someone predict months in advance whats going to happen, he might be a clown alright but the people reading that crap are clowns too if they believe it

    His way is just as good as Groundhog day, st swithins day and that new zealand bloke. I reckon some wildlife can tell what weather is coming but no more than lads with dicky knees...or migraines :P

    Just the odd bits of rain today. I'd say the rest of the year is gonna be broken

    Yeah, 10 series. D range drops off unless you keep hold of the gearstick and now C range is getting hard to get into as neutral is after moving up towards A and C ranges. Have to pop the cab anyway to replace the spring on the foot throttle so will do the lot while I'm at it:(
