Oh, and the only time I engage with RTE is an occasional bout of Lyric FM in the car, and that’s hardly the most impressive channel, it’s all very safe and boring.

Marty in the morning is quite a sensation, great tunes for cutting through city traffic before high noon

Weather biggest cause of stress
Unusual weather this year was the biggest cause of stress farmers reported.

More than a fifth of farmers are considered at risk of dying by suicide and almost all know someone who has taken their own lives, experts have warned.

Farmers at twice the risk of suicide than non-farming community

Unusual weather this year was the biggest cause of stress farmers reported, followed by Government policies designed to reduce climate change

A typical feature of folk who are on the edge is that they don't want to mention it or talk about the troubles they are facing, instead they'll just reply "It's OK, no complaints" when in fact the truth is - Things are not OK

Like the other day at home, I pointed out how bad the weather was for summer time, my friend said "The weather's OK, I'm not complaining" Then he said, "Will you close the door there's a cold draught" I said "But sure it's summertime surely we can open the door for air" he said "Close the door it's draughty"
Where upon I said but look "You are complaining"
He was correct though, it had been raining with a cool breeze, but as far as he was concerned Everything's fine and dandy until . . . It's actually not.

Of course it is, nothing to see here anymore. . .

Ballycross Apple Farm in Bridgetown, Co. Wexford has announced its decision to close its doors to the public this week.

The farm was open over weekends for visitors up to six months of the year from May to December, with a particular festive atmosphere around Halloween, where visitors could come and pick their own pumpkins.

In a statement, Ballycross Apple Farm said it was with “a heavy heart” that the decision to not re-open was made.

“We would like to thank each and every customer who ever paid a visit to the farm over the many years we have been open, your custom has been very much appreciated,” the team at Ballycross Apple Farm stated.

Juice produce from the farm will remain available in the usual local and independent retailers in Co. Wexford.

“All work of any kind has stopped at the present time,” he said.

“Ground conditions are very poor. It would be impossible to put any form of machinery on to land at the present time. We can’t even get on with building site work.

“I am aware of farmers wanting to get second-cut silage made. Spreading slurry is an even bigger issue of concern.”

He explained that many farmers in the west of Ireland did not get slurry out in the spring because of the poor weather and ground conditions back then.

“Now they are sitting with their tanks full and still unable to get slurry out. Meanwhile, the date of the slurry spreading ban creeps ever closer,” he added.

“Farmers are genuinely concerned about the impact of the weather right now.”

A number of tillage farmers in east Donegal have confirmed that many spring barley crops are starting to lie.

This is a direct consequence of the heavy rains and winds that have battered the region over the past three weeks.

The whole purpose of the IFA is to cringe, whinge and send out tear stained press releases in the hope of more government handouts.

Myles says the Marty (Morrissey) party has become detestable to him

I haven't seen or heard him

I was referring to MM but the same is true of you Myles, quite correct.
What's up with Marty ?

Why are you so obsessed with the weather Sir? Have you farmer brothers or sisters around Tubber who are giving out?

I'm a weather enthusiast. While others are watching TV or watching the ball, I'm watching the skies for all things, close to nature, it's a way of life.

You need to step back and look at the bigger picture.

How is that done? What big picture do you refer to, can you see it?

Please enlighten us for a better perspective.

Meanwhile the quality of white cabbage has dropped significantly. Dunnes are supplying half size half green supposedly white cabbages in place of proper white cabbage throughout half of year, it started in spring got better in summer and now it's back to a shocking low standard.
The weathers effect on growth is tangible

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Possibly Buddy.

Did you know that my ex had a tattoo of a sea shell on the inside of her right thigh, it was amazing.

When you put your ear to it you could smell the sea!

History, i.e. beyond the last three years. The last 30 millennia might be a better time frame.

 

[Professor]

History, i.e. beyond the the last three years. The last 30 millennia might be a better time frame.

Fair enough and though your view has much relevance and i do agree with many of your points, nevertheless we must remember that the world/Ireland has gone through many changes in the last century which has changed the earth radically.
At the turn of the 19/20th century there were only 1 billion people who prior to the discovery/use of Oil were dependent on whale oil - Those 1 billion almost drove the whales to extinction. Now we use oil but even that has been used up in many locations. We've chopped down all the natural trees and are seemingly unable to replant them.
We have a significant huge effect upon the planets make-up (plastic in the oceans and the food chain) We can destroy all life as it's been forever within a few hours of a full-on nuclear war.

So no surprised we can certainly Geoengineer the planets cloud protection against solar radiation, that's bound to change the weather, it's a very simple concept.

We beat nature when necessary.

Was this summer worse than last summer last year at least we had that spell of good weather in June .......there was no period of dry warm weather this year baring occasional dry days

 

[Professor]

CG&P we had 2.5 weeks of a wee scorcher here on the west coast in May. Then in June it was like somebody turned the lights off!!

 

[Professor]

So, today's paper has a message for us, surprise surprise!!


Just when we thought we could look forward to a stretch of settled conditions - the weather has other plans. After promising forecasts suggested a weekend and week ahead of warm and sunny conditions, those hopes have unfortunately been crushed.

While our neighbours across the Irish Sea are bracing for blistering temperatures of up to 30C, it's heatwave heartbreak for Ireland, as we will only experience a fleeting touch of the warm air drifting up from Spain.

In a crushing update, Met Eireann confirmed that the anticipated good stretch of weather will be disappointingly brief. Although temperatures are expected to reach a pleasant 22C on Saturday, the joy will be short-lived. On Sunday, a familiar pattern of rain is set to move slowly across the country, intensifying at times and dampening any remaining summer cheer.

Ireland heatwave heartbreak as weather to take terrible turn in harsh forecast

Just as we were dreaming of a sunny stretch, the weather has dashed our hopes. Ireland's brief taste of warmth this weekend will be ruined by rain, while our neighbors in the UK bask in 30C heat.
