It is good news that the source of the foot and mouth outbreak seems to have been found. Of course no one is prepared to accept the blame, it is always not me. We will have to wait and see what damage has been done.

What is really unbelievable is that a Government Laboratory is responsible for the outbreak. It is all well and good for the Government to blame an outside company who manufactures inside the Government’s facility, for the leak. The responsibility for the security of the establishment can only lie with the Government. What we all need to be very concerned about is the security in other Government Laboratories such as Portadown, that is involved in Chemical and Biological warfare. Imagine the consequences if a leak occurred in one of those facilities. Who’s to say that the security of those facilities is any better.

It seem that the problem with the telescope is the computer in the observatory. I have spent nearly all day trying to get it going. This morning I did manage to get the Sun on the webcams, but only for a short time. When i tried to remotely control the telescope from the farm house the computer went down. It could be that I may be able to use a computer in the farm house if I am able to sort a piece of wiring out. I should know in the morning when I speak to the supplier of the telescope.

Woody was very unwell last night and I really did think that it was time to end her suffering. It was my intention to get the Veterinary out this morning. We checked on her until we went to bed and there was very little change. I even expected that she may have died in the night. We let Lady and the Foal out with the other Horses. A month ago she would wait by the gate calling for Woody if we had to keep her in, as she was unwell. Lady seems to be getting use to it, so when the time does come it will not be so hard on Lady losing Woody. They have been together now for about six year. When we went to see how Woody was this morning you would have thought that we had dreamed that she was unwell last night. She greeted us with a call when she saw us. All of the feed that she had not eaten last night was gone as was her hay. She ate this morning feed and seems to have been well all of today.
