Had a lousy Christmas here due to backache, I thought the chiropractor would never open but finally got an appointment this morning so recovering now.
Very lucky to have such a service

To be fair I left her and the kids in bed this morning when I was heading for the yard. Has taken me 6 hours to do 2 hours work. Couch for the afternoon now and will do bare minimum evening jobs.

She's buggered off to her sisters with the kids and left me to fend for myself. No sympathy

If she had no sympathy she'd have left the kids!

Anyone using google should be fecked out, totally unethical. What's the point? Proving you're a dick.

Bluetooth earpiece and a phone with an open line to a few "researchers". Saw a team win a quiz a few yrs back. 2men 2 women all students. Answered questions that the brainiacs didn't know. Girls were suspected to have earpieces hidden under long hair.

Can you call in a favour, even someone who can keep an eye on them and contact you if there is need, socialising is very important for people with responsibilities. Hope everything works out.

Did you get to go?

A cow called Daisy

Neighbours that also milk cows here last night. Husband was saying that, during the summer, he had started to have a radio on in the parlour while he was milking and that he thought the cows had more milk. His wife maintained it was his imagination and that the cows wouldn't be listening.
Well that may be right, he said, but I think that would be a case of in on one ear and out the udder:D

A friend of mine, on the morning he was born, his mother hand milked 6 cows and brought the two cans in a barrow to the end of the boreen.
She then got a lift into Galway where he arrived that night!

Sorry guys-sign of a good night when your NOT on boards!! Yes got away thank god. Asked one of the neighbours to check and she is fine. I hurt my hand a few weeks ago so had to call in a few favours then so didn't want them being used up. You'd be lost without good neighbours tbou!! I think she's copped on she won't get the same amount of oats once she's calved and is hanging in there!! I'm not the best at reading the pins I'll be honest. I will say that it was a well needed night out thou-you forget how much you need a lift some times!!

Great, delighted you got out. There is a deficit of good neighbour around here now and you’d know it when you want to go out.

I really realised that reading your post a bit back! I'm v lucky as there is a few I can call on for things like that I just hate bothering them if it's not essential. But I do have the back up and it is great for peace of mind. If that cow did have bother calving I'd have been 2hours away but I have two neighbours that could have stepped in! Really does make you appreciate ppl. bottles were given this xmas to say thanks although thankfully as I'm getting more experience I'm needing them less.

A good neighbor is worth his/her weight in gold! I spent 3 nights in A&E last February - neighbor helped OH (who doesn't drive) to feed the cattle and then for almost the full months of October and November I was minding stitches along my ribs and the poor man was dragged back again! I burst 1 stitch so was almost afraid to move. I owe him soooo many helps now I don't know how I'll ever pay him back. He thinks I'm a bloody nuisance at this stage, I'd say.

I was powerwashing today, looked at my phone and i'd 3 missed calls from a neighbour, there was a cow and calf on the road at our outfarm. My dad had left the gate open when going up to count them. You cant beat good neighbours

They are training you,they might be needing you more in years to come.You will have plenty chances to return the favours.

That's a lovely way of looking at it. And I suppose you might have a point! And it makes me feel a bit better about it as well . Thanks Rabbi

May every one on here a great new year
While the last one was tough we got through it. As one of the lucky ones who needed the dry summer it had made the winter short.

Take care and hopefully we are all here next year

Best wishes for the New Year, hope 2019 brings good health and happiness and fun to all of you.

Happy new year. I hope it’s a good one.
