I posted the other day about Donegal making it to the GAA All-Ireland Football championship match and all the excitement around their first appearance there in 11 years. It was not a good result for Donegal today. They were outmatched from the start. Lots of bummed people have a long journey back to Donegal from Dublin tonight.
The son of our former neighbor, who is one of the best players on the team, went out with an injury in the first half, so we hope he's OK. It didn't seem serious, but I'm sure he was disappointed.
Many bars have live music planned tonight--and they get special permission to stay open late. I guess the atmosphere won't be very festive, but I'm sure the drink will flow nonetheless. People can drink and dance away their sorrow. I'm glad I'm not near one.
As for me, I have an artist talk to listen to while I crochet and a book to read, so I'm happy anyway. 😀
And now we head into a new week. Hope yours is great!

Too bad that Donegal didn't do well, Shari. But at least you will be sheltered from the drunken expressions of sadness that will no doubt pervade the land. A good book is always a safe refuge.
I feel bad for the people here who were so excited, but that's the way the ball bounces, is kicked, dribbled or thrown! Maybe next year ;-)
Bummer about Donegal. I'm with you -- I'm always best with a book or crafty project at hand!
Shame about the result.
I was cheering on England in the EURO'S and we won! Yippee!
I hope you enjoyed the artist talk, your crochet and your book.
All the best Jan
People are a bit glum today, Jeanie, but there will be more games ahead. We were out and about today--I had a book and my crochet in my backpack--always gotta be prepared :-)
I enjoyed all very much, Jan! Way to go Lionesses (that's the England team, I think?)!
Here in New England we've had too many teams like that. Sorry for the loss, and I bet people are disappointed. Happy new week even though your local team lost.
I remember those years, Erika--LOL--Bill and I, when we were first married--used to go to Fenway to watch Red Sox games (we lived in NH). We'd get bleacher tickets for a dollar! Times have changed! Having grown up in MA, he's a life long Red Sox fan (as was his grandmother) and still listens to the games online, even though they're usually in the middle of the night. :-)
