Spraying them with plenty of water for the few days prior to power washing is as good as any.

Google "wet &forget " apply it with the knapsack sprayer &the rain will do the rest. Assuming it's a exposed wall.

Anyone on Twitter and who watched the Biofarm 2020 clips will probably know both these people.

Jason Mauck and John Kempf.

Put them together and they make an easy to listen to podcast just over an hour long.

What a time to be alive!!

Very interesting program on BBC 1 atm.

It's all about the brain. Now it's about anxiety.

But anyway they hooked up the presenter to a monitor that measured the strengths of the various types of brainwaves.

To make a message short.
There's a little machine the size of a walkman. Where you clip a clip on each ear and it sends a frequency through your head that boosts alpha waves in your brain.
In effect it makes insomniacs go to sleep.

I always have the radio on at night time when I go to sleep. It's goes back to when I moved back home to give my father a dig out with my mam's illness. We'd have carers staying over night a couple of times a week and some of them would make a racket. I started putting on Lyric FM at a level that just took my mind away from the noise in other parts of the house so that my mind would concentrate on the music and I'd eventually nod off. I find it hard now to sleep when there is complete silence... like the silence is deafening..

The odd time I'd wake up though if there was feckin opera on it...

Eldest has no zoom classes today from school so I brought them off with their kayaks for a bit of fun round the lake. Beautiful morning for it.

Santa was thinking ahead to lockdown.

That lake looks pretty high when you see the fishing stand under water like that and there could be other stands hidden under that flood. Were you in a kayak as well to keep an eye on them?

It’s really high after last weeks rain.
No they went off on their own for an hour and we went off for a walk.
Both really strong swimmers including experienced in the lake. Eldest is a qualified lifeguard and they of course had life jackets.

How old are your kids or what age did they start kayaking? Something I wouldn’t mind getting my own kids into

12 & 18
We only just got the kayaks at Christmas but they would have done kayaking with adventure schools and on holidays.

Could see at Christmas that lockdown was going to cover the spring and with two nice lakes nearby Santa had a brainwave. Just wanted to have more options to keep some activity and variety for them, eldest is doing LC at moment amd while school are doing classes it’s hard going. She’s finding it particularly tough to be away from all her friends all the time, it’s not normal for an 18yo.

Some scout organisations can offer opportunities to teenagers to try kayaking, as do some schools if they offer a range of activities during transition year. There is an Irish summer Gaeltacht school for teenagers down in Mayo called Colaiste Uisce, which combines Irish with water sports including sea kayaking. My own kids got some exposure to kayaking in these ways and its important that they are decent swimmers for a start.

Done a whelan2 on my phone earlier. A realme 6 now has 3 vertical cracks full length of screen. Really liked that phone. Must check you tube to see can it be replaced. Still working 100%.

I know that lake well. I often launched right there too beside the disabled fishing stand! It's a good paddle down to the bottom of the lake and back!

Heard that alright. More to do with the hundreds who came home from the UK. Any case I know of down there can be traced to returning emigrants.
