kerr's pink potatoes

delivered right to your door, who knew this service was available.  Kerr's Pink potatoes have a distinctive pink colour with deep eyes. They are quite floury and starchy. They are very good for mashing and boiling but can also be chipped.

traffic lights

the lights are on a small stand so it seems they will be going to a working site somewhere.

waiting for some sun

this poor plant could use a little sunshine just like the rest of us.  The icy footpath melted a little today but not a lot of people outside.  It has been  quiet except for the howling wind. 

harkin's gift shop

closed its doors forever on November 17th.

last night

at 10pm it started with freezing sleet and it was over by 11.  It's hard to believe we had sun in the afternoon for awhile. 

that time again

Saturday, the Christmas lights were going up around town.  On Dec 3rd, the lights will be turned on and Santa will be arriving by firetruck.  Market Square will be crowded.

foggy morning

once I stepped outside early Sunday morning, these two bikers were just passing by.

pins and needles

the sign by the chair says:  take the weight off, rest your weary bones.  I imagine the chair is used for advertising their services.

rawdon's bar & lounge

located on malin road.  For those who don't know what "off licence" means, it means a shop licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises, as opposed to a bar or public house which is licensed for consumption at the point of sale.
