Saturday Showdown
...which involved no fighting, but some drinking. The reason I haven't updated these last few days (It's now the night of Thursday 19th) is because of both illness and the drinking associated with St. Patrick's day, and the surrounding weekends and days. Lots of...
Frighful Friday
It's Friday the 13th again, and as much as I'd like to get out there and freak out the establishment, all I could mange to do today was go into to town to pay the rent, get a bacon sandwich in the chipper and head right back home, and get right back in bed. I'll keep...
Thickness Thursday
This has nothing to do with being thick, but I have a cold so I'm having trouble with my s's. Bed... all day. Very ill. Send an attractive Danish nurse.
Tool Review: Challenge power screwdriver
Hello and welcome to the first of, hopefully, many tool purchases and reviews. As an amateur carpenter there is seldom greater a joy than purchasing a new gizmo or whirlygig with which to make working with wood and metal not only easier, but more fun. Who doesn't love...
Welfare Wednesday
I'm getting pretty good at these day titles don't you think? So this morning was productive: signed on, sent something in the post that I've been meaning to send for ages, and started putting money into my bank account. That's the plan from now on: soon as I get my...
Makeover Tuesday
Not every Tuesday will be makeover Tuesday, but this one is. Any thoughts on the new look?
Mad March Mondays!
...Ok, so I won't be doing anything mad or marchy on mondays, but I needed some sort of lead in to this week, so there you go. Made my awesome meatball dinner again tonight, and the next time I make it, I will include a recipe on this site, and maybe a picture or 2....
Sunday
Slim pickings today, everyone was out of money so we sat around for most of the day eating biscuits, cans of fruit, pasta and whatever else wasn't nailed down. Senan came round again, and God bless him he brought some rolling tobacco and shared like a champion. Next...
WATCHMEN!
We went to see watchmen today, and it was proper EPIC. Sin's pa came out too and we all headed up to the cottage bar. Packed to the gills with folk, so we sat out in the tin roof smoking area during a hail storm. Swung by the voodoo club after that and listened to a...
Friday
Another back post, another busy day. Bebh and Frank were here today and we decided to take a swing into town and show Bebh the tourist sights, because Bebh... is from the city. The Auld big smoke: Dublin. Went to the park, went charity shopping, all sorts of stuff....
Thursday
Oh what a serious back-post this is. This was the day where it all kicked off. John-Ross and his woman came over, and along with Mary we all went out to the discotheque (disk-o-tek, it's the proper name for a disco) did a bit of drinking and had a bit of a dance. Was...
Wednesday
Cycled down town today to get my dole. But with the phone bill this week, it might be a little lean over the weekend. I'll do my best though... keep soldiering through. Took a picture at sunrise, then went right back to bed. Might be a nice picture, but nuts to this...
