Mrs. B's coffee house

 in Killybegs.  Never understood why it has a teapot hanging on the coffee house building,  They also have great baked goods there too.

 A view of main street in Killybegs.  The building on the right is the Tara Hotel and on the other side of it is where people can catch the bus.  Across the street is Centra, a small grocery store and the tall white building is Sweet News, a small shop that sells stationary, cards, books, ice cream and coffee.  Killybegs pier is right across the street if you turn around.

Melly's, a few doors down from Centra where you can enjoy the best fish and chips in town.  The place in the back is Seawinds, a bed and breakfast.  We stayed there 10 years ago when we first came to Killybegs.

main street

in Falcarragh.  Last week when I was waiting for the bus, I took this photo.  Main street isn't very big/long, the vehicle is heading away from the town.

old tractor

 seen in Falcarragh on main street.

sweeney's hotel

renovation is now completed, it took a very long time with the pandemic pauses and the construction workers who left and had to be replaced.  Not only the outside was transformed by the inside had to be gutted.  I think they did a wonderful job and I imagine it was very spendy.  I finally got to see the finished hotel a few months back.  We were living across the street from it when it first began.

cyclist

went flying by me one morning last week. The building on the left is the Market Hall which was newly painted last year.

mister clipboard man

noticed this postal guy walking around with his clipboard and taking some notes.  He walked both sides of the street for about an hour.  Have no idea what he was doing.  Maybe he's a new hire, never saw him before.  I took the photo on Wed.

the paper stop2

 I guess checking your phone is high priority no matter where you are.

 getting the roof done before the bad weather returns.

the paper stop

is in the process of being renovated.  It began in Sept and currently they are working up where the roof used to be.  From one of the locals, this building has been vacant for the last 10 years.  The roof had holes in it and the floors were filled with tons of rubbish which they spent weeks removing and filling the skips.  I have no idea what this building will become but it is going to take a lot more time to finish the project.

 waiting for a ride and having a smoke as he waits.

drain problems

snowing

a snowy morning in Glenties.  It snowed off and on all morning but by the end of the day, we had nothing.  The gridders were out doing their job preventing ice from gathering on the roads. 

quiet rainy day

Nothing exciting here when I went outside.  I saw one person walking way down the street, no one else around.  Rainy day, pouring down at times so I went back in and had a cuppa tea. 

workers

carrying in plywood to the building that is being renovated, the tall white one.  The plywood was dropped off about 50 meters so they had t carry it one piece at a time.
