Making A Home Away From Home

Well, in a weeks time I'll be jetting off to the big CA, and while I am looking forward to the adventure, leaving the nest isn't the easiest thing in the world, but, it has to be done at some point.

I think it would be fair to say that, the most frequent question has to be:" Jaysus Spooner, I never thought you'd be one for emigrating, thought u were a home bird ?". Well what can I say except that " Not to worry, my heart will always remain in Ireland and ill be taking Dublin with me, but the mind requires a fresh stimulus... But not to worry ' ill be back' ".

Anyway, all is not lost, as tomorrow night there will be a celebration of my departure. PARTY. All are welcome, so hope to see you all there.

Now fear not mon amie, because I'll be taking my memories of you with me when I am making my home away from home :)

The Scotish Adventure, Kilts at the Ready

Well what can I say, except that, Scotland rocks !!!

I returned from my trip to Scotland yesterday, and I am still feeling the effects of what was termed ' The Glasgow Rampage'. The long weekend opened itself up to an experience that could never be forgotten. It has been a long while since this Irish Lassie went on a rampage and I really let my hair down and went for it, I still have the body pains to prove it. Aching feet, legs, stomach, shoulders, calves and neck all herald signs of 'given it loads on the dance floor'

Now I can't say that this was an informative sightseeing tour of Scotland, but I did learn a lot about the natives through their welcoming, friendly attitude over numerous alcoholic beverage, in various establishments that were explored during a prolonged weekend pub crawl. (did I mention how much I loved this weekend)

Sadly, they don't wear kilts on a regular basis, but there were a few spotted during the watching of a native ritual know as a stag party. (At this point I would like to make a suggestion to future leaders of planet earth; how about making kilts and sporins compulsory attire on the weekend, for the entire planet. I think it would help us all get along and contribute to a generally harmonic society. )

Alas, there has been a censorship placed upon photos of the past weekend. It seems the Irish and Scotish governments feel that certain images are of a sensitive and criminating nature and prevented the circulation of these pictures. But I'm sure you can use your imagination. (keep it clean boys)

On that note I think it goes without saying ... I love Scotland, and kilts in general.
another adventure lived and more be be enjoyed , endured and survived.

' go on ya good thing'
