Kinda makes you wonder about your own legacy....

Fairplay and all that but making his fortune from the steel industry wasn't exactly environmentally friendly. Altho it's better when people such as him do help in that regard as they have the mean to do so

Had intended going to Newport Dairy sale today. Apparently we're all going to the Limerick Races for some family get together.

I'm going always last to find out these things and have zero interest in the nags.

How's your upset stomach this morning?;)

Mouse in the Jeep. Bought four mouse traps in the hardware but the only type they had were plastic easy set types.
It’s fair to say all they have done is feed the ****ers, Nutella cleaned off every morning.

Got three of the traditional wooden traps today, Hasta la vista mousie.

I heard a story during the tiger years of a second hand jeep being bought and the farmers wife driving it one day and finding something behind her in the seat. The seat was shredded on the inside by a rat.

It wasn't long being moved on again.

Keep Sluicing

Liced all the cattle here today and reduced the pens of 16 & 17 animals down to 14 as the weathers so warm and muggy. Don't want them getting sick.

I happened to be over in the corner of the garden today where I keep bee hives. I couldn't believe the activity for the time of the year. Unreal to see bees out foraging today.

Didn't even bother lighting a fire this evening. Something wrong.

Lady Haywire

Fed & cleaned down cattle in a vest the last two days. You'd cook with a hoodie or coat on!
Daffodils are up almost 2 inches in places. I'll have to put sods on top of them :eek:

I listen to an odd farming related podcast now and again.
I find you nearly always learn something new or question yourself after the really good ones.

It's a strange time of the year between the family celebrations of Christmas and the burgeoning of a New Year and new possibilities.

So with that lead up out of the way.
Here's a thought provoking podcast.

We were unwrapping Christmas presents Christmas morning and the mother of all Wasps flew in the window!!!!My son got 2 wasp stings in the Summer when we were moving old bales of straw from a shed and annoyed a wasp nest.....he wasn’t long leaving the room.Took a while to swat the wasp with a newspaper. Just shows how mild this backend has been.

F&F's Capercaillie has been nominated for a biodiversity award - https://iwt.ie/biodiversity-awards/vote-champion/ - see project B.

I became aware of his nomination via a post in (the scariest forum in Boards) - Nature and Birdwatching forum -https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=108981128&postcount=1646
Capercaillie has given advice, comments and posted pics within various F&F threads of his efforts to provide a suitable breeding environment for one our rarest farm birds the corncrake, amongst others.
Vote for project B.

Most likley a queen wasp coming out of hibernation too early. The queen is the basis of a new colony each year. They tend not to survive if they get hibernation wrong ...

We usually pay for it later - I remember in 98' when people were walking around in T-shirts during Feb. The following April was one of the coldest of the 20th century with snow and temps down to -6C on a number of nights. Privet hedges etc. turned black, the following summer was awfull too!!:(

Just in from local quiz. Ended up winning it. Burnt from it though. Brought my sister and brother along and they’d fight with their shadow. Glad I wasn’t drinking.

One of my friends in the team is a sore winner and another friend in another team is a sore loser.

I think I’ll sit out next years one. Maybe help out with the marking.

What put a stop to them here was there was a team with 3 former brains of Clare, they were all on know your sport in different and two won it and one reached the final.

You’d be 20 points behind them.

The team that came second were in a good mobile data spot. Drove my brother mad altogether.
