Glorious day today in Cavan, chillier now, but amazing how much the ground soaked when it got a chance.

Hopefully miss the storm

Keep the head down anyway folks.
No one needs to be hit by a flying slate or sheet of galvanize.
Any tree falls, leave it there till wind is over.
Couple of lads killed in recent years cutting up trees that fell across the road and hit by another one.

I says

Lovely dry day here

Same here, a bad shower just left. I think I'll move everything into fields with a southern ditch and pack up till milking time.

Great day here so far. Great day yesterday too.

I'll leave the predictions to the forecasts and charts but it looks like it'll be a non event for most of the country.
But still be wary. Maybe it'll have muscle memory of it's former self..

Loads of them, thank God. I should have more than enough to rent out some to lads needing some habitats:)

We didnt get as much rain as forecast thankfully. Didnt order any concrete for today due to the forecast, could have got some.

New front of rain and wind moved into Cavan now.
Had been possible to walk about in shirt sleeves for a couple of hours.
Quite heavy at the moment.

A good fresh day, wouldn't really call it a storm, mostly dry all day, gusts up to 60mph. Erris peninsula.

Lot of cows in by night here in North Cork and beef animals of all types not far behind.

The stores are getting bales outside, ration, stretching grass till they go and like most here eagerly waiting for the Agent to ring.

Hope to battle away for another week to 10 days anyway, use all the tricks, back fencing , on /off grazing, standing off cows after milking. Small amount of damage you'd get away with, ploughing the place you won't have much choice but to house at night

Have a few fields of lovely grass here, but the ground has gone very soft, realistically if this keeps up, I’ll be housing by the end of the month, good job I’ve plenty silage but might need every bit of it.

Ground is usually in shíte here. It's definitely in shíte now.
Sure it's going to be in the same shíte next week I guess :rolleyes:

Mowed a few acres on outfarm yesterday for bales, was spread out today and will bale it later on. Looks lovely stuff. I think rain coming tomorrow
