When someone tries to influence you against another, tries to keep you from talking to them, question why?

A real friend would not choose your friends for you.

Sending healing hugs to those caught up in the lies of others. Those who know and those who have yet to find out. xx

At long last the intense heat has gone.

The best of Irish ballads

Fields of Athenry

Paddy Reilly

But a lonely prison wall, 
I heard a young girl calling 
Michael they have taken you away,
For you stole trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn,
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Low lie, The Fields Of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing, 
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
'Nothing matters Mary, when you're free'
Against the famine and the crown, 
I rebelled, they brought me down 
Now its lonely round the Fields of Athenry

Not everyone seeking solutions to their problems actually wants to solve them.

Some people spend a lifetime searching for answers to their problems. Others has the answers and spend a life time ignoring them.

With some people you cannot do right for wrong.

I had to search the internet for these sporting news results:

Wimbledon Men's title winner 2018-Novak Djokovic
Winner of the world cup 2018-France
England finished 4th in 2018 World Cup

No one on fb reported any of these

Are we unable to show joy in another's success?

To make a difference to someone's life you don't need to be wealthy and shower them with gifts. All you need is to show you care

"There are two stranger in my house. Somebody and nobody. Somebody did it. Nobody knows who."

"Live your life to the rhythm of your soul. It's your dance to make life to live,"

Why does the English press have to post mortem every move of the England match against Croatia when we should be celebrating their achievements?

"If they don't show you they care. then they ain't your friends"

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you don't have enemies" Quincy TV Show

Prayers go out to the young boys, their coach, their rescuers and their families in the cave in Thailand as they make their treacherous journey to safety

I know nothing about football, the rules, the players but I must congratulate England on making the World Cup final in Samara.

Visited our favourite bay on West Cork yesterday evening. For months we had dreamed of living there and have been holding out for a property to come up for sale. We visited the place at a different time of day to normal. While it was deserted, beautiful, it struck us all how unfriendly the place was and that it lacked a community spirit as the homes were holiday homes. Decided this was not the place for us. It takes more than beauty to make a home. Good neighbours and community are another.

Finding your perfect place is not about searching for paradise. It's about finding a place that makes it possible for you to bear the tribulations of life without giving up in despair.

Some people brighten your day by just being there. Others do the same by leaving.

It's official. Those who rely on Irish water for their water supplies face a hosepipe ban from Friday until July 31st. Hard to comprehend that it has taken only 30 days without rain to come to this. Goes to show that not even  modern technology can prevent the force of Nature.

Temperatures soaring, gardens dying, vegetables turning to dust in the ground. It's taken only 4 weeks without water to reach this state. Imagine how those who endure months of heat every year and how they must cope.

Our world is made mostly of water and most of it is undrinkable.
