Afternoon Plants do that Unless it's my Mrs who brings some home, then it's hrs of hard labour for me to get them planted in the rocky ground Lovely here Out for a meal tonight cos we've eaten most stuff in the house, ready to head back tomorrow That's if we find anywhere open on a Tuesday

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning. Still disappointed with last night's result v the spitting Zionist scumbags That's 4 points we've thrown away in a week. We should be top of the group with just the 2 November games left. Only 2 more sleeps before we head back to Wirral A bit depressing really

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Up at 4.30am, though not out of choice Mad summer's day in #Fanad yesterday..good grass cutting day. Had to modify my mower due to slipping on the grassy slope last week & nearly mowing my face off It worked a treat, much more traction #DragonsDen And a few pints after

Morning Stop drinking wine. If I drink a lot of wine I seem to stay pissed for days. What football ? Are you buying a phone or making a pie ? Grey and miserable here, and the weather is a bit shite too.

Afternoon, just back home from Dublin Points dropped deffo Giving away that first goal then the second one was sure to follow Gutted cos that would have been some win Love to go to the game in Serbia and invade the pitch but it would be the most feeble invasion ever, me hobbling onto the grass

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Afternoon Tis lovely weather here too Just got to Dublin in exactly 4 hours, and my hotel has let me in 3 hours early plus my elderly cousin has just arrived at the pub round the corner Like clockwork So off for a pre pre match pint. Here's my view over #Dublin Makes me appreciate #Fanad

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning Moonlight before the daylight How was the Bunny lodge weekend? Went to visit a few lads on Inishowen, and had too much to drink, but that's been a rare occurrence this trip. Back on the water now. Trip to Dublin Thursday then back to Wirral shortly after Booooo

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Morning Monday was scorcio, Tuesday never stopped being wet ALL day and night, then yesterday was lovely Shite again today Weather fronts are playing tick It was lovely to see my mower finally back in its natural habitat yesterday, eating grass Today, Maggie at the barbers & van to the garage

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Morning That must be what we had yesterday, ALL day Didn't get out once Maggie not too happy It's much brighter today but looks very changeable Only bright thing yesterday was the return of my mower which had been held hostage for a month It'll be a slog to cut very long, wet grass Need whiskey

010

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Nope, he's the son of a British diplomat and he was born in Argentina Yes, Fanad was the Lady in Blue yesterday. But as usual, she's now fucked off somewhere else and it's raining again

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Morning.. All downhill re the weather, or just life in general ? You will never believe what happened here yesterday.. It was scorcio, all day We've finally had our heatwave ! My mower is supposed to be turning up today as I managed to persuade them to deliver it, as they'd had it for a month🙄

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Morning, not long up after my second attempt at grabbing some sleep. Woke up to sunshine.. SUNSHINE!! And its very warm 🤷🏼‍♂️ Well done Boca. I like that you slipped into 'Allo Allo' pronunciation for clubs. Still no mower 🙄

120

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Afternoon. Impressive, I didn't know you had chickens. I'm in my local watching the match. Good night last night in my other local, a band on and lots of drunk locals. Been the beach, so my working day is done. Some twat from Wallasey been giving me grief on FB. Zionist bastard. Wallasey 🙄

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning How are things in the Bunny lodge ? Calm has arrived here, for now, as the wild stormy weather of the last few days seems to have disappeared Up early this morning to admire the newly oiled table.. Mrs Des is in charge of that Still not got a mower nearly 4 wks🙄

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Not too sure, as it's only just appeared Been blowing a gale with pouring rain on and off over the last two days.. We legged it to the beach yesterday "in between" downpours..almost made it

000

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Morning Have they changed the name of that competition ? So you're going in 5 weeks ? How many can you fit in a suitcase without them smashing ? Off to the mechanic this morning, as it wasn't my van oil light that was on but a System Management warning light 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ Fck knows what that means

210

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Morning. I knew nothing of Platense but theirs is quite a story isn't it. Canobbio, the nobhead, ruined the night Enjoy work I might be stuck in Fanad forever cos my oil light has come on & Google says "DO NOT DRIVE!!" I already drove for hours on Monday and I'm miles away from a garage 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

010

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning. I'm doing nothing today Hope you're household ups and downs are a bit less choppy today I'm using my new mug

230

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Evening Ronan was right. Life is a roller coaster... You'd have hated my day then, a 7.5 hour trip up from Tipperary back home to Fanad..in the rain Nice to be in Nenagh though

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Afternoon How is she? Tom Barry. Read up on the ambush at Kilmichael, Co Cork Now arrived at my dad's forever home, Old Lisbunny Cemetery in Nenagh, Tipperary Having a whiskey with him

130

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Just one day while we were here. But 6 weeks or more during summertime when Fanad was mostly being battered by wind and rain. Michael Collins Day His home place, destroyed by the British army pricks and his local pub

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Morning Hope the day goes well for you, well for her obviously. We're down in Cork, had an amazing day of weather yesterday out on Cape Clear Island but back to normal pissing down today here in Clonakilty, home of the great Michael Collins. So it's a Michael Collins day today Good luck

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning, from the Killimer to Tarbert Shannon ferry, which is County Clare to County Kerry Stayed in a proper dump last night, so jibbed our 2nd night & got a whole house for a similar price in Kerry. Kilrush was a nice town so a few pints were had before back to the dump

030

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Morning Fair weather Chris Boardman Shite weather here in Mayo Off to County Clare via a visit to her cousin in Connemara Staying 15 minutes away from Trump's golf course, Doonbeg, which is probably a mistake I'll get a 'FUCK TRUMP' poster for my van We survived the ferry yesterday. Phew

120

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

The way back was better, cos there was a bit of blue sky Mrs Des was inside in the comfy seats trying not to be sick #ClareIsland #Mayo

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This is fucking horrendous 😳 Watching trawler men on telly gives me nightmares and now I'm in one Straight to the boozer if we land

Football 75 years of hurt Now they won't take the flags down for another 75 years 🙂

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Football Oh well, progress in your house? Just down at the ferry It's choppy If I die, you can have as many rocks from my Ancient Monument as you can carry

010

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Morning No Stagg action today At my mate's house in Mayo and about to go and get on a ferry over to Clare Island. Might be a bit bumpy.. Tomorrow off to the County Clare where Trump's golf event is Hope to bump into the fat orange bastard How was your school run the other day BTW?

230

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Morning...errrrm afternoon almost evening Been driving since before 10am down to Mayo with a few stop offs One was to visit Frank Stagg's grave in the Republican plot in Ballina Now in a place called Louisburgh for a pint before a night in my nates apartment in Killadoon A road trip in the rain

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

To be fair, we did get those 5 consecutive days in July when you could have got your bright blue paint out..as long as you're a quick artist

020

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Oh, the weather has changed.. It just got worse

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Morning Butter shortage on the way? Incredible as it sounds, it's also Fanadesque over here in Fanad Last night, the rain was so heavy that I couldn't hear the wind howling Beginning to think that a road trip down south, including two boat trips to small islands (no cars allowed) is a mistake

130

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Morning Overlooking your toaster problem & that massive amount of butter, this could be a momentous day for you Hope it goes well Blowy & bright here today 🤞 Kids have gone back to school as beaches are empty, good Can't find many dog friendly B&Bs for our trip, so it may be a short one

100

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Morning Rain isn't forecast here just cloud all day after bouncing down on & off all night The effing gorse is sprouting up all over the plot, poking it's prickly arms through the stones and soil It's like a horror movie Anyway, Mrs Des is back on Friday then we're off down south for a week 🤞

100

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

There's already an Ancient stone (boulder) in that gravel area Here's an old pic. There are some tiny sedums planted which should eventually, carpet parts of the gravel, but some are dying already 🤦🏻‍♂️

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The Ancient Monument is a pile of stones 🙂 It's not a great pic of it but it's pissing down now so I'm not going outside It's in an area where the grass seed got washed away It's not finished yet and the standing stone, a stone that stands, is to be moved a bit further up Ferguson's Follies

100

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Morning. Glad to hear you've had some Donegal weather, it's character building. After a few dryish days here, heavy showers are back My elderly neighbour called round to survey my work. He gave it the 👍👍 despite loads still to do Like getting a gold star for my homework in school (I imagine..)

120

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

@bunnylodge.bsky.social Morning Couldn't sleep so up at 4.30am A bit dull & wet outside so I'll probably stay indoors today & have naps I'm told that my "precious stone" is probably worthless My elderly cousin used Google Lens (never heard of it) to learn that it's a "hydrothermal milky quartz"

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

If this lot turn up In Donegal, it would be cool. We could probably form a trad band

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Any geologists on here ? I've dug these up recently and I'm wondering if I've found a rich seam of valuable rock that's going to make me a millionaire. A millionaire !! Maybe it's some sort of gem stone.. 🤔 #Geology #Rocks

430

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Be quick, I'm sure it will be back. Bouncing down about 1 hour ago, bright now, but it won't last, it never does

010

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

@bunnylodge.bsky.social It's eerily still here again with a load of barn swallows swooping & gangs of starlings gathering to practice their murmurmurmurations Stillness & warmth brings out the midgies Maggie came in covered in them & now they're trying to eat me Plotting our upcoming road trip

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Morning Yes it's great when ultra groups lean towards anti Fascism especially during times when Fascism is on the rise, hoorah ! See you're about to run out of butter again There's an eerie, muggy stillness here, gangs of jackdaws lurking, Alfred Hitchcock style. Forecast is shite for week ahead

110

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Morning No butter cos you slapped it all on your waffle y'day I'm off work cos it's been pissing down all night & it's here for the day Left my mower at the mower hospital & it'll be 2 wks just to have her undercarriage fiddled with by a strange man. Like the NHS So I drank in the sun instead

220

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Morning Neighbours are certainly benefiting from the changing weather Sounds like an interesting but bouncy day ahead. Enjoy It's cool and cloudy here so it could go one of two ways, light or heavy rain My mower broke down again so I'm taking it to the mower hospital. They reckon a 2 week wait 😳

120

birkodes.bsky.social @birkodes.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Morning Surely only 1 ball ? Amazingly the weather here is bright but cool That'll do me, finish cutting the grass It rained yesterday Got to trim the grass around my tiny hedging plants, I use wallpaper scissors My wife thinks I'm mad, mainly cos once I'm down on my knees I can't get up again
