Had to pop into Argos in Cavan earlier.
Was on the phone outside for a While and nearly half of the customers are being let in with no masks.

Staggering disregard for public health measures.

Most in local, busy, shops here where you can't distance are not wearing masks either.

Off to bunratty for the afternoon. Stopped into Ennis for lunch for what we called our local there. They were delighted to see old faces.

Got a taste for pints though....

Was in lidl this evening. We wore masks. About 75% of people had masks on. Some had them below their nose which is pointless. I found it uncomfortable tbh

I had to go to the bank today, it was strange walking in the door with a mask on:D

It was a lodgement rather than a withdrawal, unfortunately. :pac:

In normal times you would get arrested for entering a Bank with a mask.

Anyone having trouble with parsnip seeds growing this year? My mother has shown 2 different batches and nothing growing. Everything else doing grand.

I have 3 fine parsnips coming. Thats out of about 100 seeds. My fathers carrots went a bit mad this year. They started growing up out of the soil not down. Some strange shapes too.

Maurice is losing it. He started off with the crow banger rant and then went on to complain about tax evading farmers.

And how we should build houses on all land and have no agricultural land.
And that people don't need farming any more that they can produce their own food.
Poor Maurice has lost it with the bangers!


There was a man killed in Kerry over a banger though..

Car serviced today. €800. Not sure if I was rode or it's standard enough. Did need a few jobs done. Wheel bearing on front, and new brake discs on the front too, pads all round as well. It is driving much better now though!

That seems like a lot even with the work carried out I'd be expecting 300/400 max

It's amazing that every time I take my car to a main stealer it need brakes and discs and a big long list of repairs. I generally say no and the next service there can be a different list of essential repairs and then it goes and passes the NCT

Spray the ground underneath and around the underside of the car where you park it with a solution of jeyes fluid or dettol.

might not be to bad. car here was 160 to get front wheel bearing done and discs could be 100e a corner plus fitting depending on make and model. pads all around 60 euro plus for materials and some engine oils are crazy prices add on half days labour or more and it might be to bad
