All Irish Airports Operational

Cat-Nap?

The pot is mine....but the cat is my neighbours. They call him Zebedee ....and i call him Gizmo, Gizzy for short. Despite all of this, he likes me. This pot is just underneath my sitting room window and is recently his favourite place for a nap. The soil in the pot is warm and the vegetation under him is cozy so what can i do? The plant under him is already just about ruined anyway He really has adopted us and eventhough he goes back to the neighbours house every evening he spends all day around our home. He is a rogue but then maybe that is another reason why i like him.
The good news for all of us here at the moment is that the wind has finally turned back to our own prevailing wind direction and is now coming from the south-west once again. This will keep Irish airspace free from volcanic ash and the forecast is good for a continuance of this. I have a group coming in on Saturday and i am really looking forward to looking after them. The change of wind direction have also brought about a decent rise in temperature and that is welcome as it has been unusually cold for this time of the year. I am now entering a very busy period and good weather would help to make it even more pleasant. I still have a little free time, a week in mid July and some in August. If anybody wants to check out availability for chauffeurdrive vacations / car and driver availability, then feel free to write to me or give me a call. I do have back-up so maybe i can help even if i am engaged myself. The back-up i have is first class, and has to be as i would never use anybody who could damage my own reputation.
There have been special commemoration ceremonies over the weekend for victims of the terrible famine in Ireland during the 1840's. More than a million people died and well over another million emigrated during those years, and indeed twenty years after the famine our population dropped from 8 million to 4 million. When you think about that, how can we complain about our present recession. I know that some people are suffering but most of us are still in the lap of luxury. We really do need to keep remembering those who are in need today when we remember those who died in the past. There are many wonderful organizations involved in helping people in the third world where famine is devastating vast regions and killing millions of people yearly. Maybe we can all do a little more.
Comments welcome.
