Chilly tonight. First evening I’ve put on the woolly hat! The shorts may not last much longer…

I loved that book at a certain stage of my life, still remember that classic intro:
A vague numbness pervades my sense, to which I hesitate to give the grave but beautiful name of sadness… What a sentence!

Sonic Youth in the AirPods most of today while outside. Never imagined how prescient this song was when I first heard it in early 1990’s!

A few of the replacement heifers. Will wean them shortly. Their mothers have done them well in the past 8 months. #angus #sucklers

Genuine question, how can RTE news just blatantly get away with repeatedly putting out these green washing stories about airlines? Like changing the paint while aviation emissions (from Ireland and globally) skyrocket faster than their planes #speirgorm

That is the Northern side of the hedge. Sheltered from the (sometimes) Southerly wind, but also sheltered from the sun, so rarely thaws when frozen.
Yes, the tall hedges here are to the south of most paddocks.
