Day 14 Oh the games people play now!
My day started early with the first game of the day for me. The mighty Hawks were on TV at a reasonably civilized hour - 7.30 am Irish time. We were dreadful in the first half, but came good in the 2nd half, to win the 3rd quarter, which was a big improvement.

| Sad, sad, sad. |
I was texting back and forward with my brother Jim and we both agreed it wasn't their best game ever! But at least there were some signs of hope!
Then I went for my usual walk along the beach. I think the whole of Lahinch was out this morning. All the locals were in their T shirts and shorts.

I was thinking about the Hawks footy and also I'm going to the Hurling match tonight in Tipperary - 2 hours drive away. The game begins at 6pm. It's in Thurles, which is apparently the home of the GAA.
But for Lahinch people (apart from their love of County Clare Gaelic Football Team and the Hurling team) the games that subsidize this town are really Surfing and Golf, and they were all out in force today.

The Irish love their sport and I can see where we, of Irish heritage, have got it from!
I got up this morning and WHAT no blog, couldn’t believe it! So went to John Moira’s for a gourmet Mother’s Day breakfast with Bubbles as well 🥯🍳🥐🥂 then came home to your blog. WHEW the day is saved.

Haha.. I was thinking of you when I knew the blog would be late!! Glad you had a lovely breakfast and that John Moira is looking after you!! 😁
DeleteHi Moira. Just love reading your blog esp your comment re the Hawks plus and minus game. Yes, you are right- there is some hope esp when Cats lost. Might be some hope for us now. Also loved your comment re the locals love of golf and surf. Feel like I am there!! Cheers, Pam
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying Pam. Yes footy is still a major passion in my life. Nothing changes even if I'm out of the country!!
DeleteEver the faithful Hawks fan - much like us with the Force!! Did you enjoy the hurling? We always have a chuckle seeing how everyone is in summer gear at 20° Boot is on the other foot in winter though. MrsTx
ReplyDeleteThe weather actually was lovely yesterday. I was sitting in shirt sleeves too!! The Hurling game was great and we won that one so the day was not totally lost!!
