Great to see the Army participating in the Arva parade and fair play to the connections that helped to make it happen.
Well done to St. Columbkille's vintage society for winning best float especially when the funds cross the border into Longford

Now , the further on they are the harder it is to give an accurate date or tell if there's twins. Scanning mine that were served in December next week

Sitting here for the last hour and a half considering when to wake bad tempered teenage son to help get bad tempered cow away from a hungry calf and into the parlour so we can get some colostrum into him.

Feisty little bull but can't quite get his head down and around a huge teat. The calf I mean not the boy, obviously. I don't think the boy has any problems in that department.

My father used call me from outside the window to avoid direct confrontations early in the morning ! 5:30 and you would hear "are you going to get up at all today " like it was frigging lunchtime

That dreaded feeling when you put your hand in your pocket and you don't feel the keys or phone

MF290 · 18-03-2016 07:59PM

The father lost his only key while abroad. Took 2 weeks to get a new one. When I went to pick up the car and get the key coded I was landed with a 130€ parking charge...

I've a fierce habit of just leaving stuff down. Drove a nail in one of the sheds in work, if I've to go out to the field or in the morning, the two sets of keys go on the nail.
Hasn't failed me yet!

be careful with that, ya could end up with visitors very handily if they found them

we've a set of keys hidden here too. but a lock box with a code might be a better option

Ah no, it's a cement post and quite deep so we need to get the tractor to pull it out, used to fence off the flower garden from the orchard. There's a few of them in a line across there.

I hate cleaning out drinkers, eldest lad headed off earlier with a bucket and a brush to do all the paddock drinkers, he said he likes doing them
