Glad you cleared that up DSW. We'd never know with your rep.

I was sorting out cattle this evening for the factory in the moring and was in full wet gear. If this is global warming, I don't know my arse from my elbow. It's coldish, wet and a gale blowing.

Mowed 15 ac here today too. Big crop on it.
Pick up tomorrow.
Still 15 ac to do

I travelled back to ndc from Longford earlier this afternoon and the combines were hard at work cutting winter barley around Tara and the N2. I could see the dust rising from the fields.
Still dry but the wind is getting stronger. I reckon it will be a long night for those tillage lads.

Lashing here on and off since 1030am
Radar shows us in a shower train

A few light showers here. Picking up silage now

WheatenBriar

Showers here would drown you!
Reds on the radar,a little narrow line about 20km wide but stretching into the midlands here travelling in the same direction making it a wet day if in their line of attack but dry 20km north or south of them

Reggie.

Fairly wet down here

Hope rain will stay away for you. How's the ground will they have to go half loads for any of it?

Ah ye can hold onto the rain for a few hours

Nice and green to the butt, bit of heat and after grass should be on quick enough

Coldest July in over 20 years according to the indo. Well believe it. Grass growth nonexistent here the last few weeks.

Absolute monsoon here now, and all night as well, and Monday night and all day Sunday as well, u get my drift. Cows coming in for silage in an hr or so, they'll go dry if this continues

Soft day.

Stop, have perfect covers for them now if the weather was dry they.d be away, hopefully this will be the last of anything heavy for a while. Still have to get slurry out on silage ground and burn off ground for reseeding haven't had the weather to spray in a couple of weeks

Quote from the infamous Donegal Postman at the end of May:

//Michael has been studying the signs and he says they all point to sunshine and high temperatures this summer.
He bases his predictions on years of observing Donegal wildlife.
He said: "Nature and animals are very knowledgeable, they know what’s going to happen with the weather.
“They have an instinct which we as human beings don’t have.”//

Total clown!

Yeah, 10 series. D range drops off unless you keep hold of the gearstick and now C range is getting hard to get into as neutral is after moving up towards A and C ranges. Have to pop the cab anyway to replace the spring on the foot throttle so will do the lot while I'm at it:(

Rain rain and more rain in the west :-(
