i think I may have killed off the last of the jet lag, don't let anyone tell you that's not real, she's a shocker! Even hitting the old Bulmers last night had me swinging from the rafters until 8pm....that wall came up & hit me fair in the face & with the help of one of those cute little white numbers slumber found me in a KO possie when the sun was still nigh high....amazing to see the sun out at 9pm, something of an oddity for us southerners. Yeah... They refer to us as Southerners here, I gave up fighting that tag years ago....fruitless to argue with the Irish, when you think you have won they sock it right back at ya! Oh to hell with it.....who's up for a pint? My shout....look out for the stampede! Inspite of the weatherman we have awoken to a glorious day here, I am sure there is a chill in the air outside but the sunrise paints a picture of a perfect day. My illusions of a perfect Irish day were almost shattered reading the Meath Chronicle's headlines....Sleet & Snow on it's way....come on guys lets negotiate this...take a break & go visit those across the Irish Sea until the 16th....OK? Maybe my offer of a Guiness worked, we'll see eh! Although it's been 18 months since my last visit to this fair land our arrival in Navan yesterday felt like it was only yesterday, the warm family welcome was wonderful & we spent the day with cousin Mary being filled in on the life & times of all the family folk. Christopher....your presence is sorely missed here son, they all want to know when you are returning & bringing Renae....seems you left a lasting impression on your kinfolk, I suspect pints of Guiness are involved, clearly you partook in more than I knew :0) And then there were crys of when when is Daniel coming???? Although it's a long way it's truly worth it! Today our plans are to head off to the Hill of Tara & Lissmullen. Now that I appear to be communicable & of semi conscious state I shall add more tonight....still trying to get my head around reading Saturday's paper on Thursday....someone beat me to the race results....buggar it! Slante folks....off to find me a Leprechaun, maybe he will have the answer!
