Was supposed to do a 15km jog today- decided to take the path least travelled, ended up doing 20km non stop- took just under the two hours.

Delighted with the distance but might have to leave scraping slats until this evening.

What are the roads like down there? Eldest was to do a 10km time trial and it was too icy to do it

No bother at all’s we are about 12/13 miles as the crow flies from the ocean so not a bit of frost today. It’s a glorious day.

Can see nothing around here today with the fog

Different day here altogether.




Wind turbines off Arklow.

I don’t need to go to Arklow for turbines. Within 5km radius of close to 50 on 4 farms.

Got a lovely text from my bank today saying I had apparently booked a hotel in Spain. Wanted me to either say yes or no to the transaction. People can f off using my bank card to book sun holidays while I'm freezing my ass off here.

The ones off Arklow on the sand bank. Clogga, I suppose, they're the only local ones.

Could also see buford out with his cattle (he was only a speck) ðŸ˜

Very poor visibility here all day in Sligo. It's freezing here atm and you'd hardly see 20 foot in front of you.

I was at the sand dunes at Buckrooney, a few miles north of Arklow on the coast road, after Ennereilly.

Jasus !!!! another one gone,

Boards is only a bit of crack surely...... relief from the real world

Don't disagree with that.

Sad to see Panch go too. He had a knack of putting things in words which took some beating.

Panch took some serious abuse for standing up for what was right. And yet we still have the top table putting out that's it's bad faith or just some differences of pov etc etc . I can understand there are those who don't have time be putting up with that type of ****e tbh.

Looking south, Arklow rock, then Tara hill in the background. Got cold quick once the sun set.

I don't know the in's and out of all this.
But is it really that serious?

People get fed up. From the off, the vegan row reminded me of the drawing about "can't go to bed, there's someone wrong on the internet". It's a pure timesink getting involved with fundamentalists.

Someone used a line once about not being able to be insulted by people they don't respect, I figure it's a solid strategy.

I got a text saying my card had been locked, or however they put, as a transaction had been made to a different country. It's a good safety measure!

You'd be better divorcing now than putting up with that craic. Loose half the farm now and be done with it.

I'm probably selfish I'll admit it.

But I like to be in places where I can learn from (especially what interests me) and have a laugh at.

That place doesn't tick any of those boxes for me. I know what works for me and where I want to go.
I'm not interested in educating anyone that I won't get anything back from especially when it goes in one ear and out the other and you're back to square one the very next day.

I actually know those dunes. Nice spot. In your other photo back towards Arklow rock and Tara Hill would have a lot of nice beaches too in Kilpatrick, Kilmichael, Clogga and Saleen.

That pic looks like it's a beach in the Caribbean or some other warm exotic place
You'd never think it was taken in Wexford on a cold December day.

Those same fundamentalists are spouting untruths about Irish farmers - I'm nether a rapist, murderer or a cruel farmer. My, yours and every other livestock farmer is governed by Irish and EU animal and welfare legislation.
IMO it was vile and despicable that the V&V charter was allowed to be changed thereby insinuating that we (Irish farmers) were operating outside the law. TBH I was surprised that it was allowed to happened as I thought Boards.ie were on the ball when it came to potential legal claims.

Speaking from experience I've come to the conclusion that some farmers are no better themselves....... spouting groundless accusations without evidence, No amount of refuting will get through to them saddos either

And then they deleted the entire thread father than leave it to show the "movement" in a bad light.
Still throwing out the line about "innocent " animals any chance they get.

I despise that in any walk of life, sticking in baseless adjectives to make your cause seem more righteous or to pull at some heartstrings.

Yeah tbf I wouldn't be far behind you with that - that said - though there's a difference between the occasional oddball fundamentalists and being officially sanctioned.

People need to stand to that imo ...
