Visiting Hours.
I wish that heaven had visiting hours, I could just show up and bring the news. She’s gettin’ old and I wish that you’d met her. The things that she’ll learn from me, I got them all from you. I just stay a while and we’ll put all the world to rights? The little ones will grow and I’ll still drink your favorite wine, They’re going to close, but I’ll see you another day. So much has changed since you’ve been away. I wish that heaven had visiting hours, I could just swing by and ask your advice. What would you do in my situation? I haven’t a clue how I’d even raise them. What would you do? ‘you would always do what’s right. We just talk a while until my worries disappear? I’d tell you that I’m scared of turnin’ out a failure. You’d say, “Remember that the answer’s in the love that we create”. So much has changed since you’ve been away. I wish that heaven had visiting hours, And I would ask them if I could take you home, But I know what they’d say, that it’s for the best. So I will live life the way you taught me, and make it on my own, But I will close the door, but I will open up my heart, Everyone I love will know exactly who you are, ‘Cause this is not goodbye, it is just ’til we meet again. So much has changed since you’ve been away.

Applications invited from new and existing organisations, latter working with victims of crime.
The Minister for Justice Mrs Helen McEntee has today invited applications from new and existing organisations working with Victims of Crime.
Every year the Department of Justice provides tax payer funding support for organisations that work with the Victims of Crime (VOC) area, including for the provision of support, information and advice on the rights of victims, court accompaniment and other support and advice services.
Announcing the invitation, Minister McEntee said, “The government are committed to building stronger, safer communities and ensuring that support services are available to all victims who need them throughout the State. We recognise the crucial role that support organisations play in helping victims overcome the challenges they face. This funding invitation emphasises our dedication to creating a society where victims are empowered and their voices are heard. It reaffirms our commitment to working collaboratively with those organisations to ensure that victims across the country continue to receive the support and assistance they need when they are at their most vulnerable. By providing resources to frontline organisations offering outstanding services and expertise, we are strengthening our collective response to supporting victims on their journey towards justice, healing and recovery. I encourage all eligible organisations to submit an application for funding so they can continue to provide excellent and enhanced victim support services across the country”.
Under the 2024 call for funding; applications from relevant organisations may be made to :-
Minimise waiting times for the support needs of victims of crime and for the expansion of crime victim helplines.
Meet the increased demand of services following VOC and Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (DSGBV) awareness raising campaigns.
Allow frontline NGO services to develop expansion plans for additional counties, extend to other counties and allow for additional emergency services.
Expand accompaniment service in the light of increasing numbers of victims and to ensure sufficiency of ongoing specialist support provision, support outreach work with victims of human trafficking and supporting those wishing to exit prostitution.
Allow NGO frontline services run recruitment campaigns for volunteers.
Assist all vulnerable witnesses navigating the criminal justice system across facilities, supports, information, and training.
From today, September 1st, we can expect the commencement of overall colder weather, with mornings growing that bit darker, as autumn (The ‘Fall’, associated with the falling of leaves), once again makes its annual appearance.
An Autumn Walk.
Before the 16th century, ‘harvest’ was the term usually used to refer to autumn, and for obvious reasons. The name ‘backend’, was once a common name used in rural areas for the autumn season and this name also has largely been eroded.
Here in Ireland, most people will mourn the loss of the warmer summer months, while others will find themselves forced into even greater poverty, in their efforts to put a warm fire in the grate, and the emergence/arrival of unwelcome, overpriced, electrical bills, from greedy, unsupervised, electrical service companies, which our present Irish government refuses to control.
Autumn starts in September, but the date will depend on whether you follow the astronomical calendar or the meteorological calendar.
Meteorological Calendar: The meteorological calendar splits our year into four seasons, with each season made up of three months. Same meteorological seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November), and winter (December, January, February). Thus, if you follow the meteorological season, autumn begins today, September 1st and will end on November 30th.
Astronomical Calendar: The astronomical calendar on the other hand, is based on the position of the Sun, in relation to our Earth’s rotational axis. In this case our autumn will starts on September 23rd next and will ends on December 22nd; leaving us with less than one month left of our summer sun, before we once again are forced to don our overcoats. The autumn equinox marks the start of the season, so it will take place on September 23rd 2023, at 6:50am. During the autumn equinox, day and night are of roughly of equal length before the nights become increasingly longer than the days, until the spring equinox due Wed, March 20th, 2024, at 3:06am, when the pattern is slowly reversed with the weather slowly, but surely, warming up once again.

Travelin’ Soldier.
Two days past eighteen, He was waiting for the bus in his army green. Sat down in a booth in a cafe there’, Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair. He’s a little shy so she give him a smile. And he said would you mind sittin’ down for a while, And talking to me, I’m feeling a little low. She said I’m off in an hour and I know where we can go. So they went down and they sat on the pier. He said I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don’t care, I got no one to send a letter to. Would you mind if I sent one back here to you. I cried, Never gonna hold the hand of another guy, Too young for him they told her. Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier. Our love will never end, Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letter says, A soldier’s coming home. So the letters came from an army camp, From California then Vietnam, And he told her of his heart. It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of, He said when it’s getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day sittin’ down at the pier, And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile. Don’t worry but I won’t be able to write for a while. I cried, Never gonna hold the hand of another guy. Too young for him they told her, Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier. Our love will never end, Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letter says, A soldier’s coming home. One Friday night at a football game, The Lord’s Prayer said and the anthem sang. A man said “folks would you bow your head, For the list of local Vietnam dead”. Crying all alone under the stands, Was the piccolo player in the marching band, And one name read and nobody really cared, But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair. I cried, Never gonna hold the hand of another guy. Too young for him they told her, Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier. Our love will never end. Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again. Never more to be alone when the letter says, A soldier’s coming home. I cried, Never gonna hold the hand of another guy. Too young for him they told her, Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier. Our love will never end. Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again, Never more to be alone when the letter says, A soldier’s coming home.
