Eily’s Report – 18th November

Dia is Mhuire diobh go léir a Cáirde and welcome to my Report.

Oh see what a fine day can do, the warm sunny day on Monday soon dispelled all thoughts of the days and nights of torrential rain and flooding that was with us for most of last week. Mind you they told us it was coming and advised us to be well prepared and I think that the warning was heeded because we had no reports of loss of life or very severe damage.  Buíochas le Dia. The little wren is living up to his name as king of the birds because he continues to come to greet me first thing every morning when the other feathered friends don’t show up until much later. He came every morning during the days of heavy rain looking as perky as ever and I couldn’t help but wonder, as to where he spent the night. Maybe the king of the birds has a little castle all of his own tucked up in some safe place that nobody else can see.
