    I saw the second trailer and the only cargo I thought it could be taking would be .... the mourners. :)

    Strange but if needs must..

    There were several tractors and trailers involved carrying the remains (RIP), relatives, family, priest and friends.

    According to OH the mourners sat upon two open trailers which was the custom in times past.
    Maybe the pics on the News did not reflect the actual scene and if so then I apologise for my earlier comment.

    Wetter than a babys chin in kilkenny.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭pedigree 6


    Lashing rain here all day just an hours break after 1 o clock.
    There must be records broken with all this rain. Never saw the roads flash flood here as much as this winter.
    The rain has eased off a bit there now.
    Supposed to be strong winds here tomorrow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭I said


    Stopped raining now serious amount of surface water around


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,297 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade

    It was like monsoon season here today for a while, lots more on the way, is there any end to it in sight?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,736 ✭✭✭✭patsy_mccabe

    think you may just be fed up being corralled inside house if you are an outdoors type, who likes being active outside getting jobs done.
    think there is another more serious effect of winter, referred to as SAD or sunlight acquired deficiency syndrome. effects lots of people in wintertime , usual remedy for acute sufferers is emigrate to sunnier climate or get light into bedroom in measured amounts starting from around 5 in morning, costly but works i hear,
    fine here no sunshine but dry, i let out cows for a spell, they are lying on slats not on the straw bedded cubicles :(

    I brought weanlings in from the kale yesterday. They had access to a 5ac grass field and a 10ac stubble field with every single square inch of each covered in mud and water. Had only seen a handful of them lying down over the last 10 days and reckoned they were getting very stiff looking.

    They will be a pain in the neck while they are in but at least I won't be worrying about them while the rain lashes down outside.

    Wind picking up here few heavy showers about.

    very blustery here no rain as of yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,747 ✭✭✭CloughCasey1


    Wet and wild here. After wiring up lights in two old sheds. Hope they still have roof in morning!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,378 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    is it normal to have so many storms so close tgether?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭pedigree 6


    What's normal. Bridges washed away in Britain and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened here (although maybe we build better bridges here).
    They're saying another storm New Years Day.
    Slaney is looking like it will flood enniscorthy with all this rain this evening.
