Who knows what's on board?

From the pictures of it there's a ladder alongside.
There'd want to be a squad car nearby. As sure as hell at low tide tomorrow morning there'll be some scallywag trying their luck to see what's on board.

Today was another nice day for cycling or walking to the local village pick up point. Eamon Ryan must think the sun shines every day in rural Ireland.

Sure we can just walk along the footpaths under the street lighting and wait at the bus stop for our carpool to pick us up.

Just had the guards at the door. They were following a car that was abandoned at the end of our lane. I was only after driving in a couple of minutes before that. Dogs going crazy

I just seen in my post history this nugget from last June. Only the last little bit yet to come to fruition. Lets hope it doesn't

Dear Mum & Dad,

I am very well, I hope you are too. Tell big brothers Sean, Paddy and Mick that the Army is better than working on the farm; tell them to get into the Army quick before the jobs are all gone.

I was a bit slow settling down at first because you don't have to get out of bed until 6am, but I got used to it and I like sleeping in late now. All you do before breakfast is make your bed, shine your boots and clean your uniform. No cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack, no muckin' out after the animals, nothing. Men must shave. For breakfast there’s cereal, fruit and eggs, and as much bread or toast as you like, huge pots of taé but there's no big steaks or chops for brekkie. You don't get fed again until noon, and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march', which is just like walking to the well in the meadow.

This will kill Sean and Paddy with laughter but I keep getting medals for shooting!! I don’t know why because the bull’s-eye is as big as a bloody bull's head and it doesn't move and it’s not firing back at you like the Murphy’s did when our bull got their cow in calf before the Ballina show. All you have to do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - piece of piss. You don't even load your own cartridges – they come in boxes and you don't have to steady yourself against the roll bar of the tractor when you reload. Sometimes we wrestle with the city boys and I have to be very careful because they break easy - it's not like fighting with Sean, Paddy, Mick and all the other local fellas all at once like we do.

Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either; it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got. I've only been beaten once by this guy from Donegal - he's a 6 foot 8 former Olympian and weighs 120 kilos so he’s a good bit bigger than me but I fought to the end.
I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets out how good it is.

Your loving daughter,
Siobhàn.

That's right. I was up in the balcony where romeo proposed. The romance was totally lost on me. The girl I was with had me under pressure to propose, she got her way eventually.

In Verona Italy for work. Never knew Giuliette of Romeo and Juliet fame was from around these parts ! Learn something new every day. Nice place

It’s well beyond a joke at this stage.
At least all those farmers that were looking for rain will be happy now🀔

Was listening on radio there. Someone suggested melting a creme egg in the microwave and spread it on your pancake.
