Is it a current bull or his favourite one over this entire life?

A big claim
An elderly relation of my missus passed away a week ago. She was riddled with the bug and knew she was fucked. My father in law saw her in her last days just before she took the turn towards home.
She offered him drink when he went to the house, different choices, laughed and joked and when he was leaving she said to him ‘I don’t think I’ll make the bog this year’.
To me, that is an incredible outlook to have on your mortality, which was staring her straight in the face. I’d love to be saying that when I’m in a similar position.

My uncle died abroad a couple of weeks ago and was cremated there. But my cousins are bringing the ashes back tomorrow for a full funeral in enniscorthy. Will be very weird without the coffin and just having the urn on the altar.
Off to me second funeral of the day. Worse than a politician.
First was an 88 year-old great grandmother (@TreatyStones would ye not get a bigger church)
Second is a 30 year old who had a heart attack.
Some contrast

I’m off to a removal tomorrow and a funeral Saturday
It just dawned on me that if I dropped dead tomorrow, my loved ones would have no idea who my favourite bull was

Removal tonight in Tralee. Shook hands with Michael and Danny Healy Rae, John O Keefe, Ger Power and Mikey Sheehy. Michael Healy Rae is an absolute weirdo.

Found out this evening that young Jackie is in a relationship with a daughter of a former neighbour of ours… a long story but jaysus
That’s a strong funeral.
She won’t have to wait for her chipper at the end of the night anyway
You’re a very dangerous man to know.
