On the bright side

Our good friend Kevin Conroy is back in town for a few days.Glad to see him around.His late father John did tremendous work in the GAA Club for years prior to his death ,particularly in selling life memberships for the Club at E.500.00 A POP ,A SUM NOT TO BR SNEERED AT.
What a pity that the promise to erect a permanent memorial and scroll to those who walked the walk has yet to be honoured.
T.Dowd Senior recently con celebrated a birthday with Ted his son. T was 70 and Ted 40.
We had roast pig,song craic and gargle and footballs and sliotars flying in all directions.
A night to remember and the very best of craic.
Reports are still drifting in of people not there getting in a few cans ,opening the windows and grooving to the warbles of the great Paddy MC Garry.
T,sang his rendition of Kevin Barry to universal approval .
In his day and time T.was to British GAA WHAT GEORGE BEST WAS TO SOCCER.
Both appear ring to play was an event and Tommy's Etna surpasses any day any of Georges women by a country mile.
Plus she has lasted the course far better too.
Tommy the ALL Star and his family and Cathy and Dolly and their families were there too.
Jimmy was in fine fettle despite his more scarce public  appearances of late.
Gerry Coogan is home from Boston  for  a special birthday party too and the Second Dunderry Judge  ,Paul Fitzgerald is home from  New Hampshire to visit his family .
On a personally low side a Bart Simpson low life has called me "lower than a knacker "while separated from me by a chain link fence at a GAA Match.I am unsure exactly who he is trying to insult,me or the travellers and fully appreciate how travellers must feel when so addressed.
I have  GOOD MIND TO TELL HIS NEIGHBOURING TRAVELLERS OF HIS IDENTITY but will keep my powder dry for a while.
The weather is brutal for making hay and I am caught with about 10 round bales on the ground soaked to the
GILLS.
I am determined however to keep at it until it is fit for bailing.
This is called stupidity.
As per usual the place is abuzz  with rumours of one sort or another .
