Nice breeze on the bog this afternoon. It died down at 8ish and the midges arrived in force

They were bad here this evening too, was branding some ewes and lambs in a sheltered spot. That was the good point about the cold/hot weather, no midges!

Unbelievable weather the past few days here in north mayo. Today was probably the warmest day with very little cloud cover

Remember waiting on a vet once upon a time for a test, could hardly see to the end of the crush with the clouds of them.

Spitting a bit here, overcast but calm and "close".

I was building a wooden pen to fit around a creep feeder, keep the ewes out, one evening. Had three different anti midge repellents on, they drove me out of the place in the end.

Left off the overalls a few mornings headin for cows but it was dam cold ended up with the flu the last few days cos of it id say. Got a small drop of rain here thurs nite but not enough to wet the yard. Could see grass on dry ground getting stressed and stemmy without a drop of rain alrite. Wetter ground would drive on with some proper heat alrite

sandydan

silage finished around here, spent last week covering pits with neighbours,
as we say locally,its dead weather no rain but not blazing sunshine either, cold nights ideal pneumonia weather,
bet some will be doing novenas for rain soon and lighting candles

Hope to bale here Thursday or Friday with the small square baler weather permitting? It's only strong toppings so hoping it will make quick enough
