Yes indeedy. I’m sure you haven’t missed me but I am back after spending two weeks in the USofA. I had about one week in Dallas and then one week in Palo Alto, California. It was great! I was pretty busy all the time though, so I didn’t get a chance to post here.
One of [...]

Scotland! Home of the haggis. All year round – Burns night or not! I had my first trip to Scotland this year two weekends ago. I agreed to go and help the family move my sister Ailse out of her student flat in St. Andrews, as she’s moving to new accomodation at the start of [...]

I had my Mum, Dad and sister Ailsa across in Northern Ireland this weekend which was nice, ‘cos I’m usually a bit stuck for things to do at the weekend.
They arrived on Friday, so after a really nice dinner at AM : PM, I promptly went and got completely hammered without them in the Stiff [...]

My wee sister Ailse called me last night all excited about a new purchase she had made – Jelly, a little rabbit! It looks really cute, doesn’t it?
She called me this morning to say Jelly was going back to the shop – her room smelled of rabbit and she didn’t know what she would do with [...]

My sister Ailse got a new laptop this week – her first Mac, a Macbook. I’ve had a Mac for a while now, so I helped her set it up with some stuff that I think is pretty useful, but which you might not know about if you’ve just got your first Mac. Here’s what [...]

Well not that much to be honest! I have been going to the shops quite a bit, buying quite a lot of clothes, and just chilling out and relaxing. On Thursday night I had a family birthday night at my favourite restaurant in Dallas – Taverna. I love it! But my Mum hates it because [...]

Well on my trip around Ireland and the UK over Christmas / New Year, the family had one night to spend in Belfast, so obviously it was a chance to catch up with mates and go out drinking! We had an amazing meal at Cayenne (which has to be my favourite restaurant in Belfast, although [...]

I got some great presents this year for Christmas – including the JBL On Time speaker for my Ipod (that’s it above). It’s basically a really good-sounding speaker for my iPod, and it includes an alarm clock so I can wake to music rather than crazy BEEP-BEEP-BEEPING from my old alarm clock. Other cool stuff [...]

Well I’m back! I was a bit all over the place over the festive period there, so I’m splitting it into chunks!
Christmas was spent with my family (Mum, Dad, Jill, Ailsa, and Jill’s husband Tobey) at the Westin in Dublin. We’ve stayed in some hotels before over Christmas, and I quite like it. It’s relaxing [...]

The photographer that my sister, Jill, and Tobey hired for their wedding has put some photographs from the wedding up on his blog. They are a lot better than the ones I took (obviously) so check them out!
And if you are getting married or need a photographer, I can highly recommend Team Thomson – they [...]
