Was expecting a downpour last evening judging by a very strong rainbow behind Oliver Darcy's house but it never came. Adain Kelly was saying that it lashed rain in Belmont seven miles up the road. More rain forecast for today but so far it is sunny and fine around54F.
Good to hear from Kate as always. The Medical Missionaries are the same as the Irish house and they know Doctor Maura Lynch. Was speaking to one of the nuns here and she promised to read Kates epistles. She also told that on Sat 23 Oct sixty volunteer ladies are travelling to Malawi and Ugandi to work voluntarily for a month. Many are nurses and they will be distributing all types of clothing, shoes, towels , bed linen etc that has been collected here.

Tom Shea was telling me last evening that they had hatched out 13 chickens and had them in an incubator. Twelve of them were taken and one left. They were sitting having tea when they heard the chick call and found the cat with its paw through the bars of the enclosure. Interesting Tom says that wild fowl kill their young if a human handles it.
Aine is home for a few days and tells us that Mike and herself are taking Russian lessons. Must be something to do with a new family member moving into Ardnacrusha hopefully before Christmas.
