Very envious of the weather there today when the last couple of times I was there for the Irish national we could hardly see the finishing line from the stand the fog was so bad.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View Postbrianmc; is this just micro-level bio diversity in action? There is a lot of bees out and about in the garden today. In the tree with the blossoms, they are smaller and look more honeybees whereas in the heather directly below, they are much bigger and look like bumble bees. Is this normal or have I happened upon a breakthrough discovery?
The bumblebees that you see now are mostly queen bumblebees, out of hibernation, setting about building a new nest/colony. They’re much bigger than the standard worker bumblebees you’ll see later once the nests expand and get well established.
If they are honeybees in the tree, they’re likely all on the tree and not on heather or anything else. The scout honeybees go out early in the day and return to the hive with samples of pollen or nectar from different sources. They share their finds and advertise them to the other workers by dancing. Through a pretty democratic process most of the workforce will end up working on the best source based on estimating the relative efforts and relative rewards.
We had a load of honeybees in our pear tree two or three days ago. No sign of them yesterday though - probably because of the field of oilseed rape that has started to bloom nearby offering better rewards.
Of course, there are plenty of hover flies and solitary bees and so on that get mistaken for honeybees too.
tl;dr sounds great. Enjoy the buzz.

I picked up between the lines from the Ruby RTE Interview that Rachel isn't in it for the long haul. Definitely not going to sacrifice riding over having kids much longer. I hope she gets the 10+ winners needed for the championship. When I seen Briony I thought this is the best but Rachel has eclipsed her.

Just felt lousy then Friday, like a bad hangover.
Saturday was similar but with weird bouts of intense tiredness and then snapping back into good shape again. Feeling perfectly fine and normal then bang, like a zombie, hardly able to hold my head up. Breathless. Would last about 30 mins then I'd be back perfectly fine again.
This repeated all day Sat. Went to bed at 9pm.
Sunday and today were like that but less intense up until about 6pm when I just suddenly felt 100% again for the rest of the evening.
Very weird.
Could smelll and taste ammonia all day Saturday. That seems to be gone now. Taste generally is affected but only slightly so. Smell seems fine.
Haven't touched any alcohol at all since it began, don't want to be giving the body any extra work.

Hon Laz. Good to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Be on the watch, have heard of cases where you think you've rounded it and bang, the tiredness whacks you again.
My missus was like this, had a day of grandness and then just sleeping for a few days.
She also still has some issues with catching her breath, nearly 3 months later.
Now Im fairly sure she's just outta shape... but I will be nodding, agreeing and furiously blaming covid for the good of my own health.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
The author is not liable for any issue arising from the platitudinous nature of this post.

First week was up and down for me. 100 fever, no taste etc but not too bad. Second week was way tougher, fever upped breathlessness was worse, just stayed under the covers mostly.
Post Covid has not been good...tried a run a few weeks or so after it (I think it was a few weeks after, sense of time is fucked)...bad headache after and struggled with breathing all the way through...did a few walks..headache after. Just not right ...lungs definitely compromised and other weird stuff going on thats hard to describe.
Have been getting up in the mountains for excercise and beginning to feel some improvement. Dont feel confident running yet as dont want to pressure heart too much at this point.
I think long Covid will be viewed with scepticism though.
A lot of people just shrug the virus off and it doesnt bury itself deep into any weakness it can find in lungs, heart, brain, kidneys etc so they say "ah it wasnt even a flu" all proud that they beat it.
Take your time with it on the recovery side and manage your expectations, hopefully you will.shrig it off.

I know ~50 people that had it from 23rd December - Jan 5th including my parents, 3 siblings their partners, kids, in laws and a whole host of friends and families. Orwell, Greenhills, Kingswood were all wiped out. When her Dad got his results on the 23 rd we just isolated for Xmas and avoided it. Her Dad is old and overweight and was quite ill for a couple of weeks. Everyone else had similar illness to you Laz for a couple of days including how it started and has recovered fully.
You'll be grand.

Cheers lads. Will admit to being anxious about any lingering effects that might affect my ability to run.
More concerned though about my wife developing symptoms over the next few days, and if that overlaps with me getting that second wave of sickness that people have experienced.

Several gardai have been told to self-isolate tonight as it emerged that the now infamous ‘Dubai-two’ are caught up in a Covid-19 scare.
It is understood at least six gardai have been told to self-isolate at home after coming into close contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19.Exclusive: It is understood at least six gardai have been told to self-isolate at home after coming into close contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19

They were not allowed board flights to Dublin for two days. Following presentations from a public representative and the Irish consulate UAE after they agreed to make deferred payments for the hotel.

RUGBY TYPES
SPOILERA Rugby Team...
- 1 Loose head Prop: Moderately tall fat lad, often aggressive when something obstructs way to bar, pie shop and occasionally a ruck. Does weights- no one knows why
2 Hooker: short fat lad with endless capacity for cheap booze and fascinated by women miles out of his league. Believes he has rugby nous and is an athlete
3 Tight head Prop: fat lad who believes he’s technically a good player with good hands. Everyone else thinks he just gets in the way. Does weights, no one notices
4 Lock: big hard lad who thinks he’s the enforcer. Police describe him as hooligan. Wears shorts and flip flops all year round, lives with his mum
5 Lock: Giraffe, looks funny when he runs. Long arms useful in bar, takes up too much space. Often very fit and yet last to arrive at breakdown
6 Blindside flanker: proper hard man, can disappear for 80 minutes but emerge holding someone’s scrotum. Never buys a round
7 Openside flanker: glory boy often with psychotic tendencies. Will spend a lot of time in A&E but when present can carry a team. Often unpopular or young. Or both
8 Number 8: big bastard; talks a good game and describes himself as a footballer. Often vain, sometimes scruffy, generally can’t hold their drink and have weird hobbies or jobs. Handy in a scuffle but best avoided socially.
9 scrum half. Gobby midget who can get himself into trouble marginally faster than he can run away from it. Nothing is his fault. Good drinker
10 fly half: there are two sorts, running or kicking. Generally they don’t know which one they are until it’s too late. Unusually nice hair and over confident in every situation until it’s too late.
11 left wing: lanky speed merchant. Can’t catch. Live in a world of their own and always forget one item of kit, often boots
12 inside centre: often the best player on the pitch as well as the fittest. Limited social skills and terrified of women until the beer kicks in
13 outside centre: does everything the 12 doesn’t. Socially active and often juggling multiple women. Has nice car, good job and demanding fitness regime as well as extensive debts and improbably large porn collection
14 right wing: the only reason he doesn’t score 10 tries in every game is because no one can pass. Often a big lad who really looks the part and yet never quite has the impact you hope for. Doesn’t drink
15 full back: 90% of them should be shot at dawn for cowardice. Last line of defence my arse. Secretly want to play at 10 and buys the skipper lots of pints. Too many hair products but useful source of spare socks and toiletries at away games.

This extract from an interview with one of the womens fathers.
Independent councillor Christy Burke made contact with Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney and between them they managed, after hours of work, to sort out a waiver form to get them onto a flight on Thursday night as both have children who are dependent on them.

One of their Mas took time off work to mind the little angles apparently. Yes I spelled that incorrectly on purpose.
