'No caps left behind' on drink containers from next month

The EU's Single Use Plastics Directive will mean all plastic bottle caps have to be tethered to bottles from July, and it is now up to consumers to adjust their habits.

As the weather is becoming warmer and if heading for the beach, this is really simple. How you can spot a rip current. Unfortunately, it's where it looks easiest and safest to enter the sea. This is because the rip current is looping around and pulling back OUT. Hence no waves rolling IN. NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE. If you are already in the sea and get caught in a rip current (you'll know because you will suddenly be moved from your location and it will be impossible to swim against it) don't panic. Swim ACROSS, not against the rip current. For example, rather than trying to swim to shore while being pushed out, swim parallel to the beach and you will be able to get out. Then you can swim ashore. Please educate friends or family visiting the beaches this summer. Stay safe

Almost like beach weather today. One of us had a swim; one sat in her anorak and watched him.

Last night’s Primetime on RTE was really insulting to those of us working in short-term rental!
We have a lovely family staying for the weekend, and hope they’ll get some nice weather.

Mocha is enjoying the fine weather here. Coming up to her 13th birthday, and still in touch with her inner kitten. She can scoot up a tree as fast as ever when the neighbours’ dogs come in to give her a chase around, and she likes nothing better than a game of football in the kitchen. Mostly she is just lazing in the sun, always strategically placed to keep an eye on all the comings and goings.
