MONDAY THE 19TH OF OCTOTER
The last few days we have woke up to frost and today was the same thankfully it clears earlier. We have hounds that are sold leaving for the UK. As normal there is bits and pieces to collect in the way of supplies. We need food for pups from the supermarket. We will have to be fed up early for the main job of today trialing in Kilkenny. Newcastle united were rubbish on Saturday night and if they keep playing like they have the last two games there have a massive battle on their hands.

There is a bug in Ireland and the American covid going around and I am nearly sure I had both in the last two weeks I went to England with hounds on Tuesday and it was a miracle I made it back to the travel lodge at Holyhead and how I made it to the ferry after getting 9 hours sleep was a miracle I was sure my time was up I never moved from the house today. We are doing Thursdays journal on Friday morning and I am starting to pull together today and yesterday I never asked Padgie (my head lad) about hounds supplies and I never make sure was if everything was alright .
