, I don’t like Sitka spruce plantations, but we can’t just let people wander through other people’s land destroying what was out there because they don’t like it.

The bizarre thing though she wasnt 'green' enough to allow the trees simply to die and decompose. She was found to have a large supply of the cut up trees at her house. Also the fuel for the chainsaw cutting down that number of trees was hardly green or environmentally friendly.

That’s interesting indeed.
Would it seem she was stealing the timber for her own use ?? If so that’s not on at all.

Some houses are getting way too big for their sites nowadays, it's unsustainable and about time it was highlighted.

Neighbor piped out pig slurry today, blackened a field hanging over the river, river feeds into town supply. Most of the field I can’t see green, just slurry.

Ground saturated and plenty of rain forecast for tomorrow. Big risk to take.

Red weather warning for Clare and Galway tomorrow and Orange for the rest of the country.

Do what you can tonight and the minimum tomorrow, if you can.

Tie them down well.

Anywhere directly east of Clare and Galway should be thinking of staying at home, I'd say.

I'll be aiming to be finished by 12 tomorrow until around 5 anyway. I had my experience of a bad storm with Darwin and I'm not keen to be out in it again.

Youngest is on a marine survey at the minute and they are tucked up near Ballyvaughan out of the way of the storm. He sent me a video a few minutes ago and it's fairly wild but he says the Explorer is rock solid. I was looking at the buoy reports and unfortunately M3 and M6 are out of commission at the minute. M3 is off the Cork coast and M6 is way out (200 miles) west off the Galway coast. M4 is the only one working on the West coast and is only giving reports every three hours. At 12 midday it recorded a wave height of 9m. I wonder what the 3pm reading will be.

Did ye ever loose something special and had the good fortune of finding it again albeit years later.
Long story short - the washing machine at my place has been acting up in the last few months. When I took the clothes out they weren't properly spun and I'd have to run another spin cycle. I've tried removing the filter thingie but couldn't pull it outta the machine. I persevered today wriggling it about and eventually succeeded. I'm €9.96 better off but more importantly I found the Holy medal that Mam gave to eldest when he was born. It went missing when he was getting ready to head to Aus over 4 years ago and he was very upset at that time. We checked every nook and cranny in the house but we couldn't find it.

Happy days, I can't wait to hear his reaction after I send him the pic and he wakes up tomorrow in Melbourne.
