signs

that the tourist season has begun. 
Saga Sapphire cruise ship,  the first of the season arrived yesterday with 600 tourists and 400 staff.  A couple of hundred more people and it would have doubled the population of Killybegs. 

tour buses are beginning to show up regularly now too.

saturday critters

Finn is ready for his walk, let's go people.

I know I saw something back there, really I did.

I want to go in to the store too, at least this wall allows me to keep him in view.

I'm exhausted and too tired to continue, let's head home.

Happy Easter from the Killybegs resident bunny.

ATM machine madness

listening to the radio today a  news bulletin had the story of another ATM robbery in Northern Ireland.  In these cases the ATM machine itself was taken, ripped from the building.  The robbers are using a digger to accomplish their task.  They alao had a van with a hole in the roof to put the ATM in and drive away.  This was the eighth ATM robbery this year and it took only four minutes.  You would think someone would hear this noise in the early hours of the morning.
Not all ATM's are located outside the bank they belong to like this one in Killybegs.

butcher shops

there used to be three and now there's one.  This butcher passed away and his family ran it for a year or two.  They closed the shop at the end of last year.

seagull decoy

in the harbour.  I don't know why there would be a decoy, maybe it floated in on the tide.

weird weather

yesterday started out sunny, then the rain bucketed down, then topped off with some snow and hail.  Spring is confused.
