  1. Béaloideas

    I heard my grandfather saying that he used to rise at six o'clock in the morning.

    I heard my grandfather saying that he used to rise at six o'clock in the morning. He got his breakfast and he has to walk to Ballybofey. It is six Irish miles from Corlea to Ballybofey.

    He was in Ballybofey every morning at eight o' clock. He got his dinner about one o'clock, he got his tea about six o'clock. He worked to seven o'clock in the evening. He worked at sixpence [?] a day some of the time and he got eight pence for the rest of the time.
