Clodagh and Sheona took part in "A Fashion Extravaganza" in the Bloomfield Hotel organised by the Mullingar Golf Club last Thursday. The girls walked the catwalk wearing their Junk Kouture outfits. All proceeds went to Saplings School. Well done, girls! Wonderful cause.

The annual Founder's Day soccer tournament saw an incredible series of matches with the staff team emerging victorious in a hard-fought afternoon of competition. Three spirited games showcased the talent and tenacity of students and teachers alike 💙💛

We also need to find more ominous ways of saying 'beating the all-time record' and get out the message that this is likely to be the coldest August we will ever live through.

It's not like breaking the four-minute mile. Breaking (or 'beating') this record is not good news.
It reached 30.3°c at our Naas Urban Station today. Highest August temperature we have ever recorded. Beating yesterdays record.😁🌡

Most people still hope that if they don't think about it then it will all go away.
Cripes - only a month to go now before I leave BBC after 35 years. I did my last turn on Today Prog earlier. Felt very upset walking home. Not for me, but for the fate of the planet. Most people still have no idea how bad it's likely to be.

“My ambition for mankind is that we do not totally destroy ourselves. If we fail in this, if by some mishap the human race totally extinguishes itself, it will be because man today is too powerful: he can inflict too much damage.” ~C.R.Milne #ClimateEmergency

Those who seek to defend life on Earth and human wellbeing are described as "extremists". And our education system is not built to encourage extremism.
Those who support business as usual, which is pushing us towards catastrophe on an unimaginable scale, are described in the media as "moderates". Those who seek to defend life on Earth and human wellbeing are described as "extremists". *They have got this the wrong way round.*

No mention here of what might happen in this country if the Gulf Stream collapses. Maybe it's better if you don't think about it. https://t.co/EyJiGCEv6e
