Raining now, I was mowing lawn and neighbour knocking silage, both of us rushing to beat rain , not sure who had bigger crop !! Ride on was leaving muddy stripes in back lawn it's so wet

Yeah, same here. I done 2 rounds and Mrs B said stop as it was leaving tracks, she said she would do it as she was lighter and wouldn't mark it, grand I said, went in to make tea and after she done 2 rounds she came in and said f it its still doing it, took my tea and sent me back out to finish it.
Nice day here though, no rain at all but had my fleece on all day.

No problems like that around here! Saying that, 96 bales of surplus paddocks banked this week. All tedded, some twice, and got nice and dry. I estimate around 30%DM.

Other way round here in the mid West. Heavy day with hazy mist for many parts of the day. Now at nearly half eight the sun is shining ! OH not able for it. Good thing we have a week in Lanzorate in a fortnight's time.

I said

Sunny,foggy and 17c

_Brian

Warm and overcast here, hopefully it will clear to sunny.

Looked at MT's forecast there now and honestly it's not tha great for the week, potential of serious showers every day but looking warm all week. Next week will be cooler with "average rainfall".

I'd say that's a good call. Sunny and 22 here in Cavan at moment, some amount stuff on the ground and being baled today/tomorrow. Great to see the countryside so busy at last.

Great day in the south east, having the sun out makes such a difference, should drive grass on now.

Air conditioning went in the forager in 30 degree heat yesterday, I couldn't stop laughing at the veins popping out of the driver's head. I'm not even sure if I'm pulling a trailer half the time with all the dust.
