Thread a naoi: heading toward year three

[JaneJeffer]

New thread as other is nearly full now.

I've just read the shocking news from Tallaght. Three sisters dead. No wonder the mam is in hospital it's just horrific

Shocking.
Unbelievable.
How can a mother possibly cope with that.

I've just read it. How absolutely awful.

It's terrible. The other brother must be devastated.

DS1 is at EP. I don't think there's great coverage so I only know he got there.

Hard to process such awful news. RIP children.

Apparently the victims are a 19 yr old girl and her twin boy/girl siblings just 8 years old. Another brother age 14 is in hospital with injuries. My God it's just desperate Between this and the tragic accident at the Glenbeigh races yesterday evening where the young jockey died, it's a very sad day for us all.

At least the weather is better today, especially for all those at EP x

So heartbreaking, their poor mother and brother. It must have been very difficult for the emergency services who attended.
Some really tragic news this weekend, just saw that the young jockey who was killed in Kerry yesterday was only 13, Henry de Bromhead's son. Poor boy & his poor parents.

I've just seen there's a hurricane on the way. Great.

Oh god really? I may bring the washing in so... I am hoping the good weather comes back again for a final hurrah I'm just not ready for winter yet🤞🏻

I may bring the washing in so

yeah I think I have to accept that I'm now the quintessential Irish mammy

😁

For those of you Ross O'Carroll Kelly fans, Kielys is no more. Just a heap of rubble.
Was visiting southside and saw it gone.

Saw it gone - a real Irish expression.

Poor Ross, i assume the girls in the school will be trained by him.

I can't believe Kielys is gone! It was a fundamental part of growing up in SoCoDu 😂 The best nights were after the French internationals, everyone was looking for a cute French boy!

Great chipper next door too, and Abrakebabra across the road for some soakage!

God, such happy, innocent times. I honestly think teens/young adults don't have nearly as much fun as we did growing up in the 80s/90s. There is much more angst now. Lots of reasons for this but I think the internet is responsible for a lot of it.

I was at Garyh Brooks last night. Brilliant night and Brilliant weather. Feel sorry for the poor sods today.

I think Alex Maskey did a great job with his speech to King Charles

I can't believe the Queen is dead. I can't get used to hearing King Charles or God save the King.
I am not a Royalist but in the last few years I really grew to admire the Queen. I thought she was an amazing woman for her age.

I think I will just call them Charles and Camilla, William and Kate etc. They must be exhausted, and a few more days to go.
Amazing life, working up to the end.

I also admired the Queen. She was a wonderful stateswoman. Her visit to Ireland was full of sincerity and warmth. She was very gracious but she also seemed to enjoy herself. It was a very good time in Anglo-Irish relations.

I'm glad that Charles and Camilla had a good visit to the North today and that the weather was lovely. It seems normal to me to call them Charles and Camilla. I suppose that people will get used to calling him King Charles or the King. I often think of Egg's comment that Camilla looks like good fun and would enjoy a gin and tonic!

I think there was always great grá for the Queen from the majority of Ireland.

Yes, I think so. I read on Sky News that Charles has visited the North forty times as Prince of Wales. He visited Cork in 2018.

I’d love to go on the lash with Camilla. I’s say she is great craic.

I love this photo

Brilliant 😄
