    Yep, tis the 17th March again - have a shamrock on me. :goodluck: :) It's been a whole year of covid restrictions as Ireland went into it's first lockdown just before Paddy's day last year. If nothing else the house decorating has come on leaps and bounds. Though that might be something to do...

    Uninvited guests

    Uninvited, but definitely welcome, guests to the garden in late March. Only got around to checking the camera yesterday - goodness knows what I've missed since then as the card was full of us working in the garden.

    Happy St Patrick's Day

    Weirdest St Patrick's day ever, I reckon. No parades and all the pubs shut. Who'd of thought that this would ever happen in Ireland? Maybe the title should have been "Happy quiet, retrained, teetotal St Patrick's Day"?

    So, how's the corona virus affecting you?

    Things seem to be fairly sensible here in the Republic. No panic buying or other idiocy that I've come across so far. The universities have closed for a fortnight, so Rachel's working from home for the next two weeks. Me? I'm carrying on with the decorating........

    Anybody still on the XRV forum?

    Irish Border

    Not that I want to start a discussion about brexit, but just for the hell of it I've created a GPX route that runs from Muff in Donegal all the way to Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland and continually crosses the border. There's no doubling back, no U turns, no running over the same tarmac twice -...

    I'm sure that some of you have come across the odd item from one manufacturer or another that you wouldn't think would have a genuine part number. Here's one from Honda for, of all things, a ball point pen. I give you Part No: 08PEN18EH.

    I think my Transalp's poorly.

    Noticed a wee damp patch under the Transalp this morning. Having a look I noticed a rather conspicuous coolant coloured (bright pink) droplet on what I think is the outlet pipe of the water pump. Bikes not been used for a few weeks - shame on me - so she'll not be going anywhere until this is...
