I love seeing them - something thrillingly spooky about them despite being harmless yolks. A positive sign too in terms of the quality of the local environment

We went on a “bat walk” in local forest one night lead by an expert, it was really interesting and enjoyable.

Some of my bat boxes for glas have tenants in situ too. Delighted to see them there after the effort of making and installing them.

It's very possible that was my local church, they had a big bat problem & was reroofed in recent years.

Batwatch Ireland organise dusk meetings to explore for colonies of bats. They have also been doing a kind of mass observation project, where volunteers pick grid references from a map of Ireland and pledge to survey them.
They will loan you an ultrasonic reciever/amplifier to listen to the bats when found ( or you can buy them for about 80 euro) and tberefore determine the species.
Someone must have surveyed that house as part of their area (usually a couple of townlands in size), logged bats there and then reported when builders moved back in.

And I thought, I need to get out more...........

Have a couple of the yellow lid ones here, find them grand. Is it awkward to get the last of the meal out of the high black bins?

2 dogs roaming into my yard the last few days. My dad followed them yesterday and found the house they are from. No one at home but left word with neighbours that there would be consequences if they come around again. I was away today but the dogs were here again when oh came home in his lorry. I hate the politics of dealing with this crap. I don't want to fall out with these people but dont want the dogs here. Rang dog warden yesterday.

Id try to appease neighbours as much as I can. My cattle are going to be in their garden more often than their dogs in mine.

Ye my dad was talking to the neighbours and 1 of their kids is terrified of the dogs being out . Daughter here was attacked by a dog when she was 6 , scars now on her face , neck etc and she has no fear of dogs. My niece who is the same age wont get out of the car here unless our dogs are tied.

Delighted to hear that Conor McGregor was beaten last night. There is absolutely nothing that appeals to me about him.

Whole thing went a bit loopy afterwards, it seems. Says a lot about those involved.

It's a whole cash making enterprise to extract cash from gobsh1tes whose idea of culture is to beat the lard out of each other when sine fianna fail is finished on a Saturday night.
There'll be a rematch no doubt.

The end of him hopefully

He signed a 3 fight deal so there’ll be 2 more anyway

6+ hours round trip. Probably over 7 hours with traffic and a stop each way. We were saying we should be heading to more local shows anyway. I know cavan have a decent show and roscommon. Not quite like tullamore/ploughing but you could argue more farmer orientated.

The Tullamore show in August is well worth going to especially fron a livestock point of view.

Think this will push me up the road to the Balmoral show instead.

The move can only be a good thing for shows in the north and northwest.

Are the players fighting each other? It looks to me like it was both teams against “supporters”

Youngest lad is 10. He played for the under 11s on Friday night. The other team were extremely rough. Their manager refereed the second half and turned a blind eye to one of his players boxing a lad in the face. How can kids play properly if they are allowed to do this without being pulled up on it?
