In Donegal at the moment so expecting a slightly above normal day when it comes to wind.

Hopefully there's no storm surge in the east.. Living 2 doors from the strand could have it's disadvantages here. Might have to fucking swim into the gaf when I go back on Tuesday.

I've got a mobile home which lives about four feet from the cliff in Garryvoe, East Cork. It's pretty well planted but I wouldn't be so sure about the cliff. It's only a thirty foot drop to the beach but my guess is even money that's where my mobile will be tomorrow night.

Dunnes Stores‏Verified account @dunnesstores 1h1 hour ago

Due to storm Ophelia  - all Dunnes Stores in ROI & Northern Ireland will be closed on Monday 16th October.

In all seriousness though, 4pm tomorrow is the deadline to submit overtime for October pay, and I'm also due to be in court for custody hearing at 10am having been fucked about since 1st June  :butt

Busy night in the pub where i'm from, everywhere is closed tomorrow. Live a stones throw away from the Atlantic it's eerily calm here. I mean there's always a bit of a breeze here but there's nothing at the moment. Feels so strange and everyone is expecting the worst.
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

Schools, buses, courts, reiki classes and Dunne's stores all closed, but I have to go to work in an EHS department.

Not looking forward to this drive.
