My news...

Today was Friday. It was a sunny day. I like sunny days, they are nice and warm. Some sunny days are not warm though, they are just sunny. Today was just sunny. I think it was cold, but I don’t know because I was inside. I wasn’t cold because I had the fire lit and it was nice and toasty. I was cold tonight because I was outside and it was frosty. But that was night time so that doesn’t count, even if it is still Friday.

 

And in other news...

 

Circus in Lifford?

Children in Lifford are said to be raging this week that the members of the council may have held some kind of a circus and didn’t invite any of them to it.

A local child said they had heard that some councillors were up to old tricks and apparently the Mayor was even walking a tight rope for a while.

They said that they didn’t know how many clowns were there at the time, but said they believed there were probably a few at least.

And the local children say they do not believe the official line that this was not a circus and was in fact a council meeting.

“We might have believed them if we hadn’t heard somebody on the radio saying that the whole thing was intense,” a local child said.

 

Another plan foiled…

Weeks after all the snow and ice have melted it has emerged that some parts of Donegal are still without water. Hundreds of households still have no water and many are having their water rationed and switched off on a nightly basis. It is believed that things have got so bad that the council was considering diluting its water stocks until they realised they didn’t have enough water!

 

Not cool

Meanwhile council members did hear at last week’s meeting that the recent cold weather in the county would leave them with a whopping €4 million bill. It is believed that they are now hoping that the government has some kind of a slush fund they can use to help them out.

 

One for the road?

Gardai say they are concerned about reports they have received about vehicles all over Donegal getting badly beaten up and battered by pieces of road in recent weeks.

A Garda spokesman has warned members of the public to be careful about approaching these roads.

“We have heard of the cars getting badly battered in recent weeks and we would warn people about the dangers certain stretches of tarmac can pose. I mean some of them are cyclepaths!"

 

And finally

In the best tradition of the news we finish with something light…..a feather!
