Seems like Bridie Carry is in the know about the weather as last weekend she set off to Clare for a weeks holiday and the weather has improved every day since with temperatures hitting the 30 mark for the past few days. Thats in the Eighties in America Lorraine.
Bridie sent us a card to say the weather and the fish are beautiful so she must have taken out the rod.Patrick Kenny is looking forward to some fresh fish when she returns.
Lorraine is wondering what type of furniture a Curragh is and for her information it is a famous flat stretch of land in Kildare near Naas and Straffan where Mary Butler of the goblet lives.
Bord Na Mona people were telling us today that they have harvested about 55 % of their target for the year which is one million tonnes.
Farmers are having difficulty in making silage as the grass is drying out into hay.
Back in Shannonbridge once more is Eric Luker's nephew Mick and his two boys and they picked the right week for sure.
Was trying to get some information on the Corncrake numbers for the year but only got an answering machine.
Last evening was Library evening and Rose Ryan was wondering if anybody would show with the evening so fine. Over thirty books were taken out. Catherine Quinn came along and did a great job in putting books in order. The library is looking for extra helping hands so come along some Thursday evening at 7.00 p.m. and see what has to be done if you would like to help.
