It's also gorgeous down South. Blue skies, slight breeze.

It's lovely now - from about 4pm on

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunny long weekend (everyone except the exam kids god help them! We have one in our house) I still feel a bite in the breeze but I'm loving the sunshine and empty washing baskets are becoming the norm here!!

I've officially run out of things to wash! This never happens! Think I'll do heavy blankets and winter coats next...
I'm eyeing up the heavier curtains too... lol!

I wouldn't @halfpasteleven.
Think of the ironing afterwards.
Nah !
Not worth it 😂

@LadyEloise1 I never iron so it wouldn't be an option for me! Sure the creases would drop out once they're hanging up!

Sure the creases would drop out once they're hanging up!
That's the spirit

Lovely now once the humidity disappeared.

Christy Dignam has died RIP

RIP. He was only 63.

May he rest in peace.
Christy seemed such a lovely, gentle person. He will be missed.

Such a talented man, fought his additions then to succumb to cancer is so cruel

Oops I have just discovered I have been overpaid by a large percentage for several years so I will take a day off tomorrow and hope everyone forgets over the weekend.
Couldn't make it up.

No wonder Dee Forbes was regularly looking to have the tv licence fee increased.

I actually cannot believe this has happened.
Thought there was something genuine about him.... I guess I was wrong...

More to come I imagine .

That Toy Show is a total scam too, all the tickets go to RTE staff and their families. If they were honest and said ‘this is our Christmas party, we get loads of free gifts, it’s a closed shop’ then people would be jealous but accept it. However they pretend that you can apply, and that normal people might get to go there.

hopefully this will start a discussion about the licence fees now.

This.

This.

And this.

I wonder if Ryan has a particularly fabulous agent who negotiated this deal....or if a lot of people have similar arrangements via their production companies. Is there more to follow.

Claire Byrne absent from her show this morning is raising speculation if this is more widespread amongst it's "stars".

Dee Forbes was suspended on Wednesday - convenient while she's on holidays and leaves at the end of the month anyway.

Gangsters

I thought Claire Byrne was on holidays this week. I prefer Philip Boucher Hayes doing her show. He should have a pay rise.
I wonder what happens Dee Forbes pension. Catherine Martin was told there was an issue arising in March. But not what it was according to the Irish Times. When did Ryan quit the Late Late?
I wonder what Patrick Kielty thinks?

I think Philip Boucher Hayes is a very good broadcaster.

Ilike him on radio. But he has a resting pompous face on telly. His voice is pleasant.
