No Excuses!

I've run out of excuses, so lets just skip over the whys of why I haven't written in ages and just get down to the important stuff like did you know that magnetic north has shifted and north really isn't north any more??? Interesting eh? Or that Jupiter's magnetic field is so massive that it pours billions of Watts into Earths magnetic field every day? Or that BROADWAY'S NOT JUST FOR GAYS ANYMORE ?

Did you miss me?

Yes, I know it's been a while but I've had a good excuse, I've been to the west, Lahinch in Co. Clare to be more specific. We set out very (very) late last Wednesday and arrived in Lahinch very early on Thursday morning (sorry Johnny). But boy did we get the best of the weather. Brings me back to the good old days? Wasn't there a Summer or two in the 80's that was really fab?? I remember having to go to Gaeltacht with college and we had three weeks of the most fabulous weather, and spent the whole time (well maybe not the whole time, but most of it) ag ol agus ag ra, 'A Dhia, nach bhfuil se chomh te?' (All with the appropriate fadas in the right places of course)(I told you I'm not a techie...nor a great speller but I could have worse bad habits...and I do but lets not go there now). Anyway with the fab weather and the beautiful Burren and a sea to surf in what more would anyone need? Oh yes food, that was great too, and the deoch...perfect, even chilled! So that's my excuse I've been living it up. But I'm sure you're not too worried considering you're not even there or here to be more precise, you're not here or there are you? ...I thought not, so really I've nothing to worry about you haven't even missed me!

I'm Back!!!!

OK so when I originally tried to set up my blog it took forever and for some strange reason, maybe down to tiredness or fedupness or something, I gave up (which is actually surprising because I am not a giverupper) Then surprise, surprise someone found my blogspot this week and sent me the link (thanks Elaina). So I'm Back and not nearly as tired as when I left the last time. x
P.S. Congrats to the winners (Chris, Andrew, Oliver and Sheena) and shortlisteeeees (Deirdre, Peter, F.E. Kevin and Oliver (again)) of the Bisto Awards, http://www.childrensbooksireland.ie/ I'm very impressed and enormously jealous.

Finally!

I know this was supposed to be quick and easy, I know it's laid out step by step and I know it's childsplay to most people but oh my God this has taken me forever to set up. This being my blog, or my feeble attempt at a blog...o.k. maybe it didn't quite take forever but it took nearly forever. I blaming the set up on my even more feeble attempts at a first post. But here I am at last, a little tired, a little triumphant (I have succeeded in spite of all this technology) and a little further along the winding road!!
