How Slack! First post in Weeks!
Oh boy have I been slack with the Blog updates! Well I do have a good excuse! With both of us working now and with commuting to work we’ve not had a lot of time. Ok, it’s a lame excuse but we’ll be sure to update it more frequently now.
Since our last post, we had another visitor in the form of Nicola Rothery who came from London for the weekend before heading up to Dublin for work. It was great to have Nic with us but the weather wasn’t the best for the day we had the touring planned. Nevertheless we had a lovely dinner out and consumed far too much wine. I have a flashback memory of the three of us walking home hand in hand singing Men at Work’s “I come from a land down under” among other cheesie tunes. Yes, we’ve become the annoying Australians!
Even more se we had our first BBQ at a friends house. It was raining and we were watching the semis of the World Cup Soccer, and BBQ’ing inside! Hilarious!
Given that I work a bit of a way from Cork, we bought a little car affectionately referred to as OOKY (thanks to the licence plate) so we are much more mobile now and looking forward to heading to Glengarriff on the long weekend for Sea Kayaking which should be great!
We’ve also moved house, which is another good excuse for not blogging more! We decided to move from Cork up to Mallow, about 30k North of Cork. Its pretty much central for both of our workplaces. I kind of miss being close in Cork but the traffic is murder so its better to be in one of the commuter towns as they call them. There is a major train station too so we can get anywhere we need if we want to catch the train, and are also closer to Shannon Airport where a lot of the flights around Europe and to the US depart from. We’re still to actually go abroad yet!
We’ll try and keep this more up to date now!
