For a championship that was played off in a rush and kinda 'let's get this over with' attitude, the matches have been brilliant. What would tonight have been like with a crowd present?
Will Cody go now? Thought he looked frail tonight.

To me it shows the disdain for the ordinary club player. They could run the championship in 10 weeks every year and allow some clarity for the club players in scheduling a proper club championship window.

That and the little lad who had brittle bones. God love them. The money raised was a good change from the the usual thing of everyone at the show looking for a load of freebies.

I thought the show was great. More enjoyable than usual amd the level of talent shown by the kids was amazing.

Staggering to see the vitriol online there. Ow against the toy show, people giving out that it was just a covid promotion platform amd brainwashing us to vaccines. Sad people can’t just leave the toy show just be sure it is without trying to politicise it.

Raising the money instead of giving away a load of free crap was great too.

I love that it’s wonderful that it’s abkut showcasing great kids not rather than a commercial advertisement for Smyth’s toys.

The munster teams are fresher this year seeing as its knockout. More level playing field for kilkenny.

Only time I see robins hanging around is when I'm gardening, they are clever enough to know that I will be unearthing juicy critters for them to feast on.

Wouldn't have mattered to Kilkenny of the noughties. Kilkenny haven't had Leinster yhat easybthe last few years with Galway swimming in their waters, Wexford slightly resurgent and an occasional gallop from Dublin.

Galway entering Leinster definitely helped to level things a bit alright and really helped galway too.

I lost a bit of sleep over one as well in August. It sat right on the driver’s mirror of the jeep after I’d kind of noted his presence a few times during the morning, next day wife mentioned a Robin fat trapped in living room.
I absolutely could not eat or sleep for days. Good news is time has passed without event thank God.

Perhaps it's just superstition but I've always noticed them around times of sadness in the past. Perhaps it's just bias or looking for links that aren't there but it's something I dread from past experience.

My mother's family always said that one death in the family always brought another. A cousin of my maternal grandfather died from a heart attack on the way into the graveyard on the day of my grandfather's funeral. My maternal grandmother and one of her sister's died within a few days of each other. One of my aunt's died the evening of my last grand uncle's funeral. Tht side of the family get very nervous whenever there's a death wondering who's next.

Remember when a BILs uncle had died, they opened the windows and a robin came in and perched on the end of the bed.

We had a lot of animal deaths here in 1974, the year my brother died, the old people said it was related but I don't believe in Pisheogs

Digging out n cementing in gate posts here today and if 1 car passed with a Christmas tree 100 went by. A lad beside me is flogging them, the cheapest is e60.
There won't be a pine left on them by the 25th!

As my oul lad said they'll just buy another one a week before Christmas!

Super documentary

Not a bad morning for this time of the year. Milking all the sweeter with an extra pair of hands. Yesterdays match was a cracker. Hopefully, we'll have more of the same today (C'mon Limerick!) Mossy off to climb a mountain. Have a good day lads!

Up during the night as I couldn’t sleep. Made bread, emptied dishwasher.

But I ended watching a great piece on Al Jazeera news channel about Romania and its forests. Unbelievable old extensive forests, staggering both in scale and beauty. Bit systemically being logged out of existence by both state agencies and illegal firms and the “wood mafia” who profit from it.
Much of the illegal timber ends up in IKEA, the earths largest timber consumer.

The wood mafia also tried to poison a government minister because she was bringing in legislation to give forests better protections.

Al Jazeea run great general interest pieces and give a world wide view of news rather than just the same old echo chambers

It's essential that all that auld timber is cleared away so that Karen on Faceache has somewhere to plant her sponsored tree near an orphanage and show us all how to save the planet.

Nothing unusual in this, it's quite common this time of year. Usually there's some casualties every year.

Can the turkeys still be eaten?
