THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative.
VIRUS PANDEMIC.
With the continuation of “Isolation” it is a good time to consider what we have and what we haven’t. For the most, we still have our health and as long as we do the right thing, keep our distances and not mingle, we should be as safe as it is possible to be. I know it can get very lonely and you feel as if the rooms are getting smaller, but it is only a feeling and when you compare the size of your rooms to the size of an ICU ward you feel glad you’re this side of the virus. Please keep safe.
CLOGHERHEAD LOCKDOWN.
Sincere thanks are extended to you and your family who have abided by the Government suggestions of keeping a 2-metre distance from other people except your family members who live in house with you. I think we have been very lucky (if I can use that word) with the overall results of Covid 19. We have had no deaths in our area, thank God, and I firmly believe it is because we are following the suggestions made by the Government for OUR safety. I mean, what harm is it to wash your hands more often than usual and spray on a bit of sanitiser. I do wish that those who are out daily and nightly jogging, running and walking WOULD keep their 2-metre distance from other people and not go so close to people when passing them on the footpath. Remarks have been made to these people about keeping their distances, to protect them and us, but they just give a not very nice reply. Can anybody suggest how this can change? Between these people and the DOG POO on footpaths it is not safe to go out. But don’t let these people keep you in your home. Good luck.
HELP FROM THE DREADNOTS.
The Dreadnots Players and committee are there to help you with your shopping and any other things you may need. Simply phone Ann on 087 7757007 and she will take it from there. In these times of keeping your distances it is very important to have the likes of these people out there to give a little help where needed. Help with shopping etc. as well as members of the Dreadnots Group staff from Gareth’s Family Butchers and Corrs Pharmacy are also there to give you assistance.
T AT THREE.
A new idea has come “On the Market” as they say regarding you looking out for your neighbours, who may live alone with nobody to visit them. It is T. at Three. Basically, you make a Cuppa at 3 o’clock and go to your neighbour’s house (don’t forget 2m distance) and offer them the tea, and hopefully, other neighbours will do likewise. Nothing can be lost, but quite a lot could be gained.
AFTERNOON FOR BINGO?
Another idea to keep at a safe distance is “Garden Bingo” where neighbours gather in their own garden and others can come and sit outside their walls. Just bring you chair; markers and light refreshments and the rest will fall into place. It is just an hour and a half to help you relax and put Covid 19 behind you for a time.
LIFEBOAT STILL ON DUTY.
Abiding by government advice, the Lifeboat Station is out of bounds to everyone. But. Should the Lifeboat be needed for an emergency it will be launched in the usual way. There is no training for crew members at present but they already know the drill of by heart. So, that is one thing we can be sure off.
CLOGHERHEAD COMMUNITY HALL.
Please take note that this building is CLOSED at present and all activities therein have been cancelled under government guidelines.
