Of what? My wet spots?
-
Hey, Gary! Sounds like here, to me. We've got rain on and off as well. Busy removing last of wallpaper from living room, prior to getting a plasterer to come and patch things. At that terribly slow stage where the walls look bare, but there's still lots of stubborn patches that need re-wetting and scraping completely clean.

Greetings, young sir! All's well in Albertsville, I hope.

You may have to loosen your belt another notch at this rate, Gary.

Marty waves at Page... 👋

Hi, Albert! And thanks. I actually think it's for the best. I got through the first one, and I'll get through this one.
-
Sleep well. And stay safe whilst you are busy doing lots of things tomorrow. ❤️

Fingers crossed things will change after 4th November....

Sounds very similar to the current restrictions here in Ireland. The hope is that they will be lifted by 1st December, at the latest...

And I have a beef casserole cooking in the oven, with potatoes, carrots, swede (aka: rutabaga), onions, runner beans, shredded cabbage, beetroot (aka: beets), bay leaf (aka: laurel), and rosemary, all from my garden.

Because fish exist?

Hi, Gary! Changeable sort of day here. But no snow, thank Cod!
-
Hi there, young Albert!
-
Going good, thanks. Yourself? (It's after midnight here, so I'm away to my bed shortly.)

The old farmer who lived beside me when I first moved to Ireland once said to me, when I was bemoaning a stillborn calf to one of my cows: "The only way you'll never have livestock die on you, is to never have any livestock in the first place." True, that.

Good afternoon, Mr B!

Good morning, young Albert.

Greetings, young Albert!

Happy Monday, all! From inside the house it looks like a really nice day here. Bright enough, with lots of sunshine (in between the showers). Step outside, though, and there's a cold northwesterly wind blowing at around 40kph (25mph) with gusts of around 68kph (over 40mph), making the day feel a lot colder than it looks. No wonder the weather app on my smartphone is showing the current temperature as 11°C/52°F with a real feel of only 3°C/37°F. Brrrr..... Time to turn the central heating on, have another coffee, and get on with some inside work, methinks.

It's a little after 11:30pm here in Ireland, but I've had a couple of really hectic days, so I'm going to go to bed shortly. So I'll take this opportunity to say "Good night" to all of you, and I'll talk to you on the morrow. I'll just leave you all with this little question, and see if any of you have managed to come up with the correct answer by the time I check in again tomorrow: Which day in 2020 is the longest day over here in Ireland?

Unfortunately, it's far too late in the year to have peas still to pod over here in Ireland (at least from my own garden). But I do have some podded ones from the summer in the freezer. Maybe one day in the week I'll make myself a shepherd's pie, and take a photo of a serving of it on a plate, showing all those delicious spherical Pisum sativum seeds adding to the colour, and the flavour, of the dish.

Don't look, @Valkyrie...

He's younger than me. See!

It does, as far as I am aware. Unless Albert is growing a variety that is not frost hardy...
