Rushes sprayed last year. Looking forward to topping the field after grazing.

Also wee coloured primroses, they’re around an old famine ruins, seems to be less every year for some reason. Can’t but think of someone making their best during such hard times.

TB test here today, I'm wrecked after it. I think bulls destined for the factory in the month or 6 weeks after the test should be immune from testing.

I agree that testing forward beef bulls is bound to be both a personal safety and animal welfare nightmare. Any bundles of heavy bulls I've handled have definitely been hard work. However how would you identify such stock and ensure that they were only sold to slaughter within a designated timescale? I suppose they can mark inconclusive results in a TB test and the animal can only be sold direct to slaughter afterwards so perhaps a similar setup would work for beef bulls.

Our normal postman was off for 2 weeks, during that time I got no post delivered to my address. The replacement postman only worked every second day and only emptied the local post box every second day. My post went to my parents house. Stuff I know I should have been delivered never came. Postman was back today, he was doing 2 weeks work in 1 day. I ordered a few replacement tags last Monday, dispatched on Tuesday , no sign of them. Calves I registered on line on Sunday of last week I got the cards today. Couldnt bring a calf to the mart today as I didnt have the tag for him. I am now wondering where my bvd samples are....

A man locally got a job as a relief postman a few years back when the previous man died suddenly. I think he lasted a few months before being dismissed due to gross negligence regarding his workload. The man in question suffered from depression and seemingly the workload overwhelmed him. His house was found full of undelivered parcels, there were more scattered around the local area stuck in hedges and outhouses. There was uproar in particular from one local couple who's wedding invitations were mostly lost in transit, seemingly it led to reopening family rifts and general bad feelings over perceived favoritism. I remember there was various bits and pieces being delivered for weeks afterwards as the backlog was inspected and sorted.

Same as, busy day here. OH had her first scan in morning. They wouldn’t let me in as I had my 1yo. Was fairly peeved after a 1 1/4 drive there. Also the only baby changing table they had was in the women’s toilets- in a maternity hospital. But the main thing was the scan went well so hopefully herd expansion.

Then test in afternoon, had to do some clearing around the the house for the digger driver and a cow calved- by herself and calf sucking. AI bred heifer off a four star cow.

Good day all round.

Interestingly these dust storms have been linked the spread of certain diseases in equatorial areas and having impacts on local weather patterns and also global climate

Had a missed call from the County Council this morning. I rang back. I had reported a water leak in March. Irish water fixed it a couple of weeks later. The County Council lads were out today looking to fix the water leak I reported.

Pity the result last night didn't go our way. There would be some buzz over there now if City had lost or drawn to United! Enjoy the break anyway!

I was driving home yesterday in the early hours trying to avoid squashing frogs hopping across the road. I was surprised to see hundreds of them on the move as I presumed their breeding season was over. I avoided 6 hedgehogs and 2 foxes munching on squished frogs.

Out lab used to love eating frogs-he used to swallow them down in one gulp-yeuch! Then looked so sad when I yelled at him and pulled him away!! Since he had the stroke he can’t catch anything so that problems solved. I think they were still alive when they hit his stomach.

The hens love them here when they can catch them :pac:

Anyone else get a letter about a curlew scheme in conjunction with GLAS actions today?

Just seen the weather forcast on RTÉ 1, it's so vague and uninformative, compared to the online forcasts its next to useless.
It reminded me of the weather forecast d'unbelievables sketch

Just back from work now, rough enough night outside but hopefully the worst has passed. There was serious rain and wind all evening and lots of branches down on the road. Our power is gone so the place is in darkness, be lost only for the torch on the phone.
