Hi everyone, hope you are all keeping well out there, not worrying too much about the virus, and counting every day as a blessing whatever about being in lock down and having travel restrictions. We really aren’t that badly off considering that in some places like America there are queues outside the food pantry, miles long, seeking food, many of them illegal Irish with young families who can’t come home even if they wanted to, so we must count ourselves very lucky!!!
A lot of the charities are appealing to everyone to donate even €4 to their respective charity to help them out at this critical time for them. Their numbers are constantly being shown on screen.
One of these is the very deserving Pieta House which we all know is so deserving, so, if you feel like getting up at 5.30 on may 9th the for the ‘ darkness into light’, you can donate to the charity.
Lots of work has been done during the month of April with our great weather. The turf is nearly dry already for some .My 5 year old grandson was taken to the bog the other evening with his mom and dad. After a short while boredom was setting in and he asked “when are we going home”? They explained he should help to turn the sods as it would keep him warm in the winter. His reply was “this is my worst nightmare, worse than a monster film!!!” His 8 year old sister had a different idea and asked her dad “how much do I get for turning each of these black things” !! Maybe getting kids back to the basics is no bad idea at all! Keep safe.
