Big news in Shannonbridge yesterday was the start of a new layer of tarmac stretching from Darcy's Corner to a line opposite Price's Lane for a start. Looks like a couple of inches of new surface is being added.
Death has occured in Ferbane of Mrs Devery, of Saint Cannock's Terrace and late of the Mill Yard. Mrs Devery was in her ninetees and was mother to Eamon, Padraig, Kieran and Maura. May she rest in peace.
Christmas lights and decorations seem to get bigger and brighter every year and somebody remarked yesterday that two of the brightest lit houses in his area were owned by people that never darken the door of a church.
See where Kerrill has added three local golf clubs as links under the golf section. Hopefully more will be added which may be a help for people holidaying in Shannonbridge and intending to play golf.
Todays weather forecast is for rain in the south east soon clearing and most areas like Shannonbridge will have a dry bright day with temperatures of 10 C or 50 F.
Under Weather Eye in the Irish Times recently Brendan Mc Williams mentioned that the date for D-Day was changed on account of a weather forecast provided by a family from Belmullet in Mayo. They forecast unsuitable weather for the 5th of May and so the invasion was put back to May 6th which worked out suitable as predicted by the Belmullet family.
First photographs of the new baby Aimee Robertson arrived in Shannonbridge yesterday and she is a very alert looking lassie. Colin has promised to scan one on to the Killen Bar section found under entertainment.
It looks like there will be a big gathering for the annual Christmas Dinner hosted by the ESB for the last time tomorrow in Shannonbridge Power Plant as this plant is scheduled for demolition in 2005
