    And there's "Driving Home For Christmas", and "Fairytale of New York" ...

    And fires, and cosy nights in, and selection boxes everywhere! :D

    I much prefer winter.

    Between that and the Christmas cake I've been eating for the last few days have made me want Christmas NOW!

    Add me to the 'I love winter' list.
    Maybe I'd change my mind if I lived in a country that gets a summer- I dunno! :rolleyes:

    Winter has woolly jumpers, hot cups of tea, steaming bowls of stew, big thick fluffy socks and cosy duvets. Not to mention the Christmas season where everything twinkles and there is a constant party atmosphere, families reuniting for the holidays and sparkly lights adorning every street corner. :)

    and Halloween, best time of year! (more autumn than winter but in this country every season is Winter :pac: )

    How do people not know what an address bar is? I just spent 41 minutes trying to get a merchant onto our website. OH. MY. GOD.

    My mother used to get very confused between typing a website address and googling something.
    She got the hang of it in less than a day though, I recall.

    41 minutes!? Wow.

    I love Halloween. I love having the crap scared out of me, it's harder to do than it used to be though.

    I had an argument here with another Irish person who claimed that Halloween was an American thing. I schooled his ass with info on Samhain. Pagans ftw!

    i want to get violent every time i hear them say sam-hane and bell-tane
    arghhh
    :pac:

    re the violence discussion i did some jiu jitsu in college but not for too long i think
    an ex got attacked while we were walking home one night years ago, yer man was off his head on something and just kept stopping, yelling, then punching him again
    i kept trying to jump in the middle and catch his attention to distract him but it wasn't working
    then we finally ran away which we would have done earlier if ex's glasses hadnt been knocked off
    bit mad

    all dressed up today for meeting but sinus pain yuck

    i'm so exhausted!!

    I was supposed to quiz tonight, but I think I'm physically unable. Better night's sleep last night only one wailing wake up call, but I'm more shattered than yesterday and my 2 hours sleep.

    My bestie has texted me and invited me to her house for tea and hugs. Think I need that.

    It's been a while since I updated you all on the activities of HIM. I went off him for a while, as he told me that his mother was coming over from Italy and he couldn't wait to get his laundry done. So there was a month or so there that I couldn't see anything but a can't fend for himself mama's boy.

    I've decided now that he was probably joking (as he always seems to be joking). Interesting things I have learned.

    1. In spite of strait-laced appearances, he is a metal fan.
    2. His biggest fear on moving to Galway was not the weather or the language barrier, but that people would make fun of his accent.
    3. He tried swimming in Salthill, got one toe in and ran away saying "nopenopenope".
    4. I sent him out to Dog's Bay on Sunday and he actually swam in the Atlantic. I told him it would toughen his mediterranean arse up.

    I don't find him attractive anymore, think the mummy-laundry thing quenched that one. He is good fun as a manager though. Especially after the last one I had.

    Just popping in to say hello from my holliers. On the computer not cos I'm sad but because it's 30 degrees already so staying in where it's cool!

    Ugh I hate aggressive people. Yesterday we (me, pancake, pancake's dad, grandparents, uncle and baby cousin) went to the river for a picnic and a swim. We had a lovely spot at the side of the water and all was grand. Then along came another family, who had a dog that wasn't on the leash. The dog (medium sized) ran right over barking to where we were sitting and ran over to where pancake was sitting in his baby seat. Understandably we got a bit of a fright, and we asked (politely) if they could put the dog on a leash. Well the dad didn't even let us finish the sentence and starting roaring and shouting about how there was nothing wrong with his dog, he was vicious, and that he'd come over and sort us out if we didn't shut up (bear in mind that we couldn't get a word in). Now I don't mind dogs. But I didn't know this dog or what he was like, so I think it was reasonable to ask the owner to attach the dog after he ran over to my baby. So we ended up having to leave cos the guy was so unfriendly and eat our picnic somewhere else. Grr.

    Nope she actually thought it was a bad hangover. Getting sick, dizzy and ears blocked. But it didn't go after 3 days do she went to the doc yesterday morning who sent her straight in A&E.

    Hopefully it'll be one of those "sounds worse than it actually is" things. Must be so scary though :(
