Watched some of the SuperBowl there. Jeez, the side shows and all the carry on, is bigger than the game itself. Who pops into the BBC commentary box only Martin o'Neill.

Had to set down rules here regards musical instruments, I wouldnt be in the house in the morning anyway but trying to get asleep and hearing silent night over and over on the recorder , drove me crazy. Not allowed after 9pm, last year it was songs for mass on the keyboard

Have you tried melatonin supplements? The brother takes them over in Finland because of the short days.
It's horrible when you get to that stage when you're too tired to sleep.

My number comes up on the milk lorry's gps when he's collecting the neighbours milk. So my name comes up on the neighbours milk receipt.
It happens if the driver doesn't manually put in the neighbours no when collecting his milk. It never happens the other way round though.:D

The milk manager often has to ring me up to see how many litres of milk is on my paper docket.

NOT TO FRIGHTEN YOU LIKE.

Ha dead right.
No his parlour is just too close to mine and the gps is not accurate enough.

Good enough show but a bit bleak picture for small farmers

Yeah, any week now the F Journal will have a front cover photo of cows out grazing.
Just to really rub it in.
That issue should be banned from distribution outside the Golden Vale, if only on mental health grounds.
Here in lovely Cavan, 1st May is the date you get worried if you haven't got all stock out.

We won't be long either till there's a picture of some lad with a light first cut that himself and his contractor are holding between them and I hoping there is enough in our pit to stretch to the end of April ! I do be ate with jealousy! !
The boss told me last night to pick up barley to mix with the nuts cos he is going to cut back the silage just in case .....

Yes, was stepping out the space for planting native trees, trees 1m apart, rows 2m apart. We rang him to come out for a discussion because no date was given to us for the coppicing. If it had to be in place by Sept of this year, it would have had to be done by the end of Feb.
(It doesn't need to be completed until Sept 17)

Are you doing the compositing yourselves?
Have a bit to do, & time is getting ahead, probably get time in May when it can't be done
