We have the same issue up in Donegal in rush hour going to work. They couldn’t wait until say after 9am. Duh!

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Our house is at the end of a cul de sac & cars have a habit of coming up as far as our house to turn around even though not coming to visit us. They speed off and our cats are outside. Very annoying especially when they have no reason to be up near our house. πŸ˜’πŸ˜«x

We're almost there! Irish Summer Time kicks in just 16 days, and from then until September, the sun won’t set before 7:56pm. πŸŽ‰ A big relief for SO many of us - especially those with Usher syndrome who experience night blindness!

Are Americans even aware that Putin has ordered the stealing of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children who are now in Russia? Because your President doesn’t give a single shit about that.

As February is Retinitis Pigmentosa month - this is want you to know from me:

Blindness is a spectrum.

All blind people are not all born blind, but have degenerative conditions. So we remember sight and understand descriptions.

Blind people are bloody good at finding solutions.

Have you electricity now? My sister in Lettermacaward/Doochary has no electricity, water, mobile signal service since Friday morning.

She went to Dungloe to get mobile signal today.

Wow she is gorgeous and looks like my Dusty. If anything like my cat she will be very confident, mischievous and extremely smart. πŸ˜›

I say not all to do with not wearing hi vis. Just saying this upfront.

31.12.2024 21:21 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The other bugbear for drivers are pedestrians not wearing hi vis in the dark. Unfortunately for me I can’t drive due to my eye sight but as a passenger in car I can understand the frustration of drivers.
Too many pedestrians killed on roads at the moment.
