Met the Metz Family from Germany last evening with Mam and Dad and five in family. They flew from Frankfurt (cost 980 Euro ) and hired an Emerald Starline cruiser from Carrick on Shannon and will leave the boat at Portumna.

Feature on the Independent on Sunday tells us that Patrick Kavanagh the poet was born 100 years ago this Thursday. Kavanagh writes in The Great Hunger -
Men build their dreams
as they build their circles
Of friends. God is in the bits
and pieces of Everyday.
A kiss here and a laugh again,
and sometimes tears
A pearl necklace around the
neck of poverty.
Kavanagh is in the Library on Thursday night from 7 to 9 pm at least in printform.
