    Our two bins went flying down the road about 20 mins ago along with the neighbours. Good thing the rubbish was collected from one this morning, and the other was empty!

    fairly windy in Donegal, but there's been a lot worse nights over the last few weeks. the worse of it might still reach here later on.
