Lovely place is kinsale, especially in this weather. If your heading out and like Irish music try the seanachai pub! Usually something on there every night!

In fairness it's not hard to beat Bulmers, even my homebrew knocks it into the hapenny place.

Driving the run around van and there is hot air coming in through the air vents. Something wrong with some valve thing in the heating.

Farmers can be their own worst enemies sometimes.

I went to the hardware store to get a water fitting and waited about 2 minutes behind the lad in front who was getting a good bit of stuff. Then a lad arrived in and joined in after me. After about a minute he shouts up to the counter that he wants a hydraulic hose fixed and he was waiting 10 minutes already. The girl at the counter says she will get someone to deal with him and calls someone to fix it and goes back to dealing with the guy at the counter. After about a minute he shouts up that he hasn't all day when the hydraulic guy comes in. Jesus, about time, he goes.

Now i know the weather is fine but he was totally out of line.

And last night i was driving into town behind two silage trailers and about to pass when i had a peep out and saw a car coming so pulled back in. Next thing the second tractor pulls out and goes to pass the first, car still coming but closer now, when the first tractor pulls out to block the second one and nearly tips the empty trailer over. Brakes on all round and rubber on the road from about 6 cars stopping within a few feet of each other. They turned off a few hundred yards up the road and both laughing, two lads about 21. Fecking eejits that should have some small bit of sense in their heads.

Still mad:mad:

Sadly you get them (I'm the most important here, & nobody has anything to do but me) everywhere.
As for the lads, the contractor might not appreciate too much

Have any of ye had a calf that's not thriving and seems a little dirty (green) around its mouth?
Someone has said it may be a situation where they are regurgitating the grass and not processing properly or something? it would explain his mouth.. Got him a Vit booster shot yesterday eve and a supplement sachet to mix with liquid for his gut.

He did have Crypto and got halacor, his brother had at the same time, both came out of it fine but one lad has started to go backwards again. He got 7 weeks of twice a day and has been on once a day the last week, he drinks up no bother and picks at meal. He is not scour'y...

Presume he is around two months old....? May be a problem with the gut. Sometimes the gut is not developed enough to process correctly. Did he start to go back after going on OAD? I would be worried about an infection in the gut. What is temp like? No harm to give him natural yoghurt which will help the gut. I wouldn't leave it too long though to get a vet to look at him. They can go downhill very quickly.

Midlandsman80

Thanks, I wont.
Prob about 9-10 weeks old, got a week on the cow first. I don't think it was the drop back to OAD but he will be on TAD again now.

Called into the vet yesterday and got the few things I gave him and will be calling him again tomorrow if does not perk up very fast.
Will try the yogurt and see how that goes for him.

Good to hear its sounds like its healing up already so!

On the books, I'm not sure if its available to download but "it's not dark yet" sounds a good read, it was written by a guy that has motor neuron(not 100%) it's all written with a computer that reads his eye movements, they were on the radio their a few weeks back and certainly sounded a worth while read!

Have a look and see if "I remember you" by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. is available on Kindle.

Also you could have a look at "As the Crow flies" by Damien Boyd. Its free to download at the moment. Got it a week ago, but no chance to start it yet. Crime thriller type thing with a rock climbing theme.

Massive crowd at it, but only the same amount of exhibitors as usual, huge amount of horses and sheep on sunday.
I thought that they'd get a lot more exhibitors and stands, being the race coarse and so near galway,

eeeee

Books, The White Tiger by Tea Obrecht is a nice handy read, Simone De Beauvoirs memoirs (4) are great, as is the mandarins and she came to stay. The Plague by Camus is great too, I prefer it to the Outaider. The Castle by Kafka is a deadly book, and the Metamorphosis anthology. Makes beaurocracy (sp?) altogether more scary, where it ca end up. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great Swashbuckler doorstopper, or melvynn Braggs Gormengast for a gothic-y fix. Birds Of the Innocent Wood by Deirdre madden is a beautiful wee book too, quite Friel like. And you can't go wrong with any Anne Enright. Oh I gots to get me a book soon!

ETA Vendela Vida does beautiful, sparse scandi prose, she's worth checking out too.
