Thank you Will Leahy of @rtegold.bsky.social for playing Jumbo Breakfast Roll - Very hard not sing along and lift the mood after last night...

Football. #CZEIRL

:( the world cup wait continues

Biscuits

It was soft penalty to get in the first place. That was a stupid penalty to give away.. Need to settle down.. don't let them build momentum

Giddy.

The antidote to everything else in your timeline

Sunshine is good for the soul. Badly needed.

I have an ongoing dispute with Irish water. @irishwater.bsky.social Usage for the diaputed quarter is 14x the norm. I refused to pay the bill. I've paid all previous bills and subsequent bills where the usage is back to the norm. We have done the leak test - no leak.

A little repost - something to digest for anyone wanting to have the combo of DTT/Satellite TV on one box, have simultaneous recording and multi room viewing capabilities in a world where TV providers offer very limited options.

The picture was funny. The confusion appreciable. But the conspiratorial reply was brilliant. #IdesofMarch

Bought a few heifers this weekend to start the clock on the 28 week ANC requirement. They'll be in shed for 2 weeks and I'm hoping the land will be able to take them by then. Also.. Prices per kg up again YOY. It's not sustainable. Had to go for a mix of AAX, LMX and CHX.

This mornings cycle was a wet and windy one. Had to firmly sit on the poncho to stop it flying around the place. It did it's job very well this morning.

Just a few more weeks until the 1926 Census data is released. April 18th. It's a big gap from the previous census in 1911 but we'll definitely learn something!

Longish thread about cycling a cargo bike around Limerick and the bike itself. After trialing a cargo bike Pat and @limerickecargobike.bsky.social - we decided to buy this bike from Decathlon. We have over 1000km done since October. We go every morning - regardless of the weather.

Kinvara Rock and Road 2026 completed. As usual, so well organised, a lovely route and this year the weather was my perfect running weather. Couldn't ask for more.

We are back again 😎

There’s always money in the

- the quote regarding how Alice was executed. Chilling. What a barbaric way to go.

After a nice-ish day, the rain is back and it is awful. Time to get the fire going.

The Stretch is Real! Thanks Alan.

Solar panels on the farm are starting to ramp up. They are south facing, on a old sheep shed that has a near perfect slope. We got them & battery under the DAFM TAMS grant (60% for farmers).

When cycling in city centre may the traffic lights be ever in your favour.

Valentia in Kerry had 0.1mm of rain yesterday and more today, so that is 54 days of consecutive rainfall — some think this might be a record? Not a chance. Valentia had 90 days of consecutive rain between 10/12/2013 and 09/03/2014! We have seen wetter period folks and survived😁

The Aerials finals in the winter Olympics is bonkers. The landings* have to hurt. *Landings that become crash landings definitely hurt.

Went for a run yesterday, which I have to say was a well controlled base run, around 6km these two very natural runners flew past me having a very animated conversation. Amazing level of fitness. If they weren't having a conversation you'd never hear them. So light on their feet.

Is there any sign of a decent dry spell soon? No!

The weather today is just awful. Bitter cold wind, heavy showers with no let up. Finding it hard to warm up - it's time to test the infrared heater.

Went to see the musical "Come from Away" (tells the true story of 7,000 stranded passengers in Gander, Newfoundland, during 9/11) preformed by the Shannon Musical Society. Knowing nothing about it - I was blown away by it!! Fantastic musical and the cast was brilliant!! Catchy numbers & good story!!

Jeeze. There must be something wrong with the 10 day forecast for Tuesday 17th. No rain that day...

Oh flower of Scotland...

Did that missed line kick at the end cost a potential bonus point? Absolutely. Did it cost us a championship? I would say to look back at the 160 minutes of rugby that came before it to find the answer there.

If there is one company that sends me into a rage it's Irish water. I'm disputing a usage charge. Normally our annual usage is approx 40m3 of water - (light cattle drinking from a trough for 7 months in the year).

It finally has stopped raining after 6 hours of constant rain. Jeeze.

Subs are on early - no choice. Need to do something but I don't think it will stop this rampant French team.

How was that not a forward pass before the try for France? Looked like it in real time! #6nations

Here we go! It begins.. where we all become experts and say things like "They've got the hammer and they'll need it!" I do like a bit of Winter Olympics.

www.bbc.com/sport/snooke... Enjoyed watching him play, later presenting the Big Break and of course listening to him commentate. May he Rest in Peace.

Twas a pretty miserable school run this morning on the bike. Full wet gear, boots and poncho. Traffic was heavy and the South Court/Caseys/Analog roundabout was chaotic. That roundabout really needs to be a Dutch style cycle roundabout. It wasn't fun navigating it twice this morning.

First morning to cycle to school where it was bright. Woohoo!!

After 364 days in January during which its rained for 679 of them ya kinda feel Noah is an bit of an amateur. Anyway darkest 10 weeks in the year over.

Munster in real trouble here.

Loughrea were really good in the first half but Ballygunner found another gear. Congratulations to Ballygunner. It was great to see the match live.

"....they gained a reputation for rugged physicality, which might be putting it euphemistically." - ehh that is a massive understatement. I saw how they played and stopped watching/following for years. Thankfully, they play very differently today. www.rte.ie/sport/hurlin...

What an amazing sun rise this morning but as they say: "Pink sky in the morning, Sailors take warning" and sure enough the rain has arrived. But still, what a sunrise.

The Rathwood saga has come to an end. I previously had two bags of kiln dried firewood with no issues so bought again in May for delivery in September. It didn't arrive. They didn't notify me that the delivery date got pushed to Oct. Didn't have an issue and gave them the benefit of doubt.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game #lepnlar ROG will be fuming with that last knock-on that resulted in a penalty a few plays later.

Saw my first 261 today... 9 days in. Got to briefly admire it because it was stuck in traffic as we cruised by in the cycle lane.

Footpaths were in a bad way this morning. The roads were fine, so too were cycle lanes (mostly) but the footpaths.. jeeze. This mornings rain didn't help the situation.
