Default Today's Peeve of the Day, Friday 25th May.

Good morning peevers.

The weekend is nearly here and the weather is just getting better and better.

I have to go to town fairly soon, so on with the peeve.

If you're like me you get fed up to the back teeth with flipping websites that have these blasted pop-ups that say something like 'Congratulations, you are the 100,000th visitor and you've won XYZ.' Grrr!

So, without further ado, the POTD is;

Irritating 'pop-ups.'

Agree they are irritating. Fortunately my computer is programmed to eliminate 99% of those pop-ups

Continuing with the photo of the day, here's one taken from our bedroom five minutes ago. The buttercups are doing pretty well;

How did they get my cell phone number? It's a pay as you go and I received a text at 1am saying I won something. That's so annoying.

There's a mixture pam- Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Simmental in the main.

By the way, what's got 160 legs and flies?







A herd of cows.
