There's another country show thingy on at 3.45 on BBC1 or 2 every day this week.

Don't know what it is bar it was announced on Countryfile this evening.

Herve Tembuyser clearly was enjoying the occasion.

For the first time ever I’m looking at the decorations thinking I can’t wait to get them down and away.
Have never felt like that before and I feel bad for it.

We had a nice time but it has been overshadowed by stress and upheaval, herself taking calls all over Christmas with Covid, big impact with staff out and trying to provide a service.

Thursday morning the crates are out and these stupid decorations are going away.

This is the kind of day when we need Buford on the scene. Must give him a shout later.

Only on Boards since June but sad to see him gone. Pass on greetings from me. Hope all is well for him. Fierce frosty here. Watched fittest family last night too. Fair play to them. I’d be lucky to last ten seconds on that wall challenge! Have to bring one of the kittens to the vet. Off form. What is it about pets? They are always tugging at my heartstrings (& costing me a fortune!) Have a good day lads!

The Beauford over in the motoring forum is obviously a different poster ?

I take it you have a pc rather than laptop Kev? I use the kitchen here up to about 8 then bring laptop into another room. Would be a pain if it was a pc.

Up at 3.30am tomorrow to monitor systems to make sure the first of the inbound brexit shipments come through as they should. Plus exports tonight. Awkward timings. But handy I can do it from home rather than being in the office.

I noticed that aswell. Doing a motor home. Don't think it's our Buford.

He told me he wasn't coming back.

Can we get a go fund me page going to build a memorial to him.?

Maybe a gold cow pat

Base price

The rescue helicopter is just after flying over, I seldom see it in Longford. Hopefully some poor soul isn't in trouble.

Ive a laptop and then an additional screen and keyboard etc. Im well kitted out now in fairness but we are living in a granny flat at my parents for the moment saving for a mortgage and its tight enough for space.

Fascinating programme on RTE 1 Cricket's Irish Roots. Theory that cricket is based on an old Irish game called kets. Recommended watching.

History of Ireland and Britain (and France) is merged completely.
For example Wales used to be part of Ireland. Or really when the Roman Garrison left. A lot of Welsh, Cornish and people from Devon left for Brittany, France.
The Irish in the southeast of Ireland went across the Irish sea and settled in southwest wales (some reports a lot of wales) when they buggered off for France.
The Britons left their great briton and settled in their little briton. And named their lands in France after Cornwall and Devon.

Loading mad sucklers and weanlings today in poor conditions.

Bed now with back wrecked.
Medicated and few shots of brandy and port.

Made me appreciate the modest setup we have at home.

The only sweet that gives you seconds. You're still eating it even though you've finished it.

I decided to cycle to the village yesterday for a loaf and the paper, slapped on my side in the village on black ice..
Shoulder not good since. Hope no lasting damage as have movement but the moral of the story...
You’d be better eating bounty bars.

Hope the shoulder mends soon, I had a narrow escape this morning. Retired sheepdog ran out of meds, I decided to go to the vet for a refill. Almost cost me my van, back end slid out into the other lane on a corner.

Steer into skid and pray.......

Gave away the tubs of sweets here to neighbours with young kids. Reckon they'll appreciated more.
