Lads! I went outside to get something from the car and there was a kestrel hovering over the garden. After a full 2 minutes hovering it dived like a bullet and caught a mouse or shrew.

Speckled Park cows and their calves chilling in the woods. The Speckled Park breed originated in Saskatchewan and is growing in popularity in Ireland, the UK and Australia due to its docility, ease of calving and ability to thrive on less nourishing vegetation.
Ironically the population is so low in its native Canada the breed is now endangered there.

Sun spurge. One of the few plants with green (yellow-green) flowers. If she wants to wear green flowers she should wear them. You go, girl.
Sun spurge is poisonous when eaten raw. The sap is caustic and is sometimes used to treat warts.
Fun fact: Sun spurge is also known as Madwoman's Milk.

Every now and again a commentator twigs that when Trump calls for NATO members to increase defence spending he means "buy more stuff from the US arms makers *only* so I get a cut".
Then it gets forgotten and the commentator goes back to hand wringing over NATO defence capabilities.
And weeks pass before another commentator has that eureka moment. And rinse and repeat.

Holding a hare in confinement is cruel in itself. Handling a hare or any wild animal is cruel. This is why wildlife rescue centres do everything in their power to minimise human contact and length of stay in rehab.
The hares have already been terrorised before the coursing event begins. This is being missed in the debate. https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2026/0630/1581157-hare-coursing/

@blogdiva@mastodon.social This week I learned of a saying the Muslim community of Bosnia have: "Even at the end of the world you should plant a tree".
I get the feeling the real target of Jackboot Jim O'Callaghan's campaign isn't the solicitors but the recipients of free legal aid.

@JimBliss Me (halfway between a fool and a smart man, a halfwit): In country where people don't want a BESS near them for fear it will explode, or pylons overhead for fear electro-magnetic radiation will drive their horses mad, or solar farms for fear they'll be blinded by glare, good fucking luck to ya getting a nuclear plant built anywhere on this island.

Bin day being switched and RTÉ's new jingles is enough change for one year. They'd better not mess with anything else.
