Sunday 15th October

Going to see the sea this morning. Managed to get a signal on my mobile phone and rang home. Had a chat while walking to the beach, not many people about. Wrote in sand and walked along the other side of beach and then came back to the Tower. The time is 12.30pm and Dave is making food while I go shopping at ‘Mace’ up the road. I bought 2 postcards to send off tonight. I bought myself some chips and peas to eat back at the Tower. After lunch we had a walk around Cushendall and took photos. Later in the evening we heard a lot of banging outside and the sound of voices (like carnival noise) we took a look outside and all around the Tower there were people and cars and a bus trying to get moving. The people won, nothing moved. Cushendall had won the Hurling Championship that afternoon and the whole town seemed to be celebrating. We posted the postcards at Spar shop/Post office. We decided to go for pint of Guinness but could not get in first pub it was so full so we went to the Wee Room where we were last night. They had Martin Higgins (folk singer) in and it was very loud and cramped. Men all (nearly all) looked like builders/navvies. All good fun though. We didn’t stay too long as we had to get some more work done. Dave’s working on the computer now 10pm. I went to bed later on at about 11pm leaving Dave on computer
