Funny thing happened yesterday when I tried to explain the Blog of 11/2/04 appearing 35 times on the screen . Dont know what happened except it is a strange co-incidence that Kate mentioned on October 24th that she has a list of 35 Orphans that are seeking sponsorship. Sponsorship costs very little , if I remember rightly about the price of a Pint of Guinness a week. Wonder had the 35 Orphans anything to do with it.
Kate will tell you more if you are interested. Contact her at this website, info@shannonbridge.net.
Tuesday night there was a special Mass celebrated in Ferbane for the soul of the late Jimmy Mooney at the request of the Ferbane Bridge Club. Tonight in Ard Chiarain Prayer Centre there is a special Mass at 8 pm for the deceased and bereaved. Consider visiting the Library this evening from 7 to 9 pm and have a look at the new edition of the Moore Parish book by the late John Joe Grenham.
Tonight in the Wolfe Tone Theater in Clonmel Louise takes part in a talent competition with Colin and Mike Thornhill doing the backing bit. This was a competition where to enter you had to send in a recording of your song with 20 Euros entry fee. Ten people have been chosen and each get to sing one song. You can listen to her song on her website under Entertainment on this Shannonbridge site. Hope they do well.
This website would like more people writing on it and Mike Thornhill is going to contact one of the Shannonbridge girls in Japan and one of the boys in Wales has promised to write but hopefully not in Welsh.
Got three lovely photographs from Ken Smith in California yesterday. Also got a message that about a hundred photos of the area that were sent to Irishphotoshop.com were collected by Larry Egan from Belmont. No sign of them on their screens as yet. Talked to our webmaster on the possibility of having more photographs available to highlight the area and people.
The Table Quiz last night raised 180 Euro for the annual Seniors Christmas Party.
Some rain during the night but fine and sunny this morning. Rain is forecast for Munster and Connaught. Is that spelt rite. ?
