Dia Dhaoibh a chairde,
Beidh ár gciorcál cómhrá ar siúl arís trathnóna amárach sa leabharlann, ag a hocht a chlog. Bhí deacrachtaí ag mé féin agus Máirín téama na míosa a phiocadh. Tá gach rud chomh gruama faoi láthair ach faoi dheireadh phioc muid "Cá raibh tú?" Mar shámpla, cá raibh tú nuair a chuala tú an nuacht mar gheall ar na Twin Towers i Nua Eabhrac? Nó nuair a scaoileadh Nelson Mandela ón bpriosún? Nó nuair a síneadh an chomhdhearbhú i mBéal Feirste? Nuair a thit an balla i mBerlin?
Bígí linn!
Dear Friends,
It's that time of the month again and our ciorcál cómhrá will take place in the library, at 8pm this Thursday 20th. Máirín and I had to really think hard of theme which would not send an already depressed population over the edge. So we came up with "Cá raibh tú?" "Where were you?", as in where were you when you heard about the Twin Towers in New York? Or when Nelson Mandela was released from prison? Or when the Joint Declaration was signed in Belfast? Or when the Berlin Wall fell? Or when Diana died?
Lots of food for thought there. I must announce a blanket ban on all discussions about banks(grrr), overdrafts(grrrrrr), the r word, downturns ..............enough about my personal life!
Come and join the fun, be there or be square,
Library, 8pm, Nov. 20th
Tea and biscuits thrown in.
