I had to post all the paper work off we needed service kit for the vans from ford we had to be fed up by lunchtime for the main job of today trailing in Shelbourne park.
Tuesday 20th February:
We needed meat which was the first job of the day. The weather was good on Tuesday so we did more preparation work with hounds to get them ready for schooling. We got the 2020 van serviced. A delivery of Gain dog food arrived. The day went well.
Wednesday 21st February:
We got a delivery of paper, Red Mills dog food, we did a tidy up around the yard and we had two hounds to take to the vets to get tonsils out. The day went well.
Thursday 22nd February:
I went to Killybegs to collect fish which is very short owing to the new quotas. At the kennels we prepared more hounds for schooling. On the way back from Killybegs I had to pick up a timing belt kit. Again the day went well.

Newcastle United were terrible last night against Arsenal. We were never in the game. I went for beef in the morning, collected food for pups, got the timing belt changed on the 2020 van and somebody must be watching over me as the mechanic said the belt wouldn’t have lasted another hour as it was hanging by a thread. At the kennels we changed all the beds, we gave the hedges a small cut, did work on the gallop. The day went well.
