Keep those BBQs lit, there's another sunny, summery weekend ahead...

“Dry, settled weather over the weekend with further long hours of sunshine through both Saturday and Sunday,” says Met Éireann.

WELL WOULD YOU look at that – not a cloud in the sky today and guess what? The weekend is looking much the same!

Met Éireann has forecast “dry, settled weather over the weekend with further long hours of sunshine through both Saturday and Sunday”.

Temperatures are set to reach the low 20s in many inland areas, but light onshore breezes will keep it slightly cooler near the east and south coasts.

As we reach into next week, the weather gradually becomes more unsettled with temperatures set to drop back to more normal values and outbreaks of rain – but we can worry about that next week.

For now, it actually feels likes summer, so there’ll plenty more days in the park like this:

Or even just catching a few rays, wherever and whenever you can, like this:

    A serous post from me for a change. Last weekend my sister had to douse a girl who’s hair had caught fire in a pub. she lost quite a bit of hair but it could’ve been so much worse. I know candles create a nice cosy and intimate atmosphere but publicans and night club owners really need to think about where they put them, especially if they are expecting a large crowd.

    Not always candles, there is always the “funny person” who decides to get his lighter out of the pocket for fun without realising how far their actions can go! There were no candles in that nightclub

    Interesting choice of words there Shamy. Elaborating upon that train of thought.. maybe next year you could get dressed up as well. I know where you can get a good deal on a Jimmy Savile costume. That’ll learn ‘em!

    Apparantly he was set alight as opposed just catching fire.

    Eh, you essentially still did post it. And it was a crap forced pun anyway, so you must be pretty embarrassed right now.

    Even the trick or treaters last night were a nightmare even with their parents they were kicking the door, demanding more sweets, no cheap sweets and then swearing. These are the future thugs of Halloween

    A man around the corner from us died yesterday. He fell down the stairs while trying to get a “Tigger” costume off. He apparently tripped over the tail at the top of the stairs. This all happened in front of his poor wife. RIP

    Halloween was fine until a couple of young men decided to set off fireworks after 10 pm near our house. They’d walk to a nearby street and do same. They came back about 1 hour later for more. I’m sorry to hear people got hurt and even killed yesterday. My heart goes out to their families.
