    I bought it earlier - a kilo of rum and raisin, and half a kilo of peach sorbet. Now I've about 700g of the former, and 250 of the latter. I iz much ashamed.

    Sound delish tho, I’d have eaten them too! Where did you get them, it's been years since I had a decent rum n raisin ice cream

    I used to make sorbets in work, it's a good bit healthier than ice cream so don't feel so bad :o

    I'm in the USA (Houston TX) at the moment, and there are some little differences from Ireland that make you go "hmm". For example, I bought a bottle of generic anti-allergy pills today, with the same active ingredient found in Benadryl in Ireland (Diphenhydramine HCl). I think Benadryl costs something like €6 for 12 tablets in Ireland, and you have to go to a pharmacy. I spent just over $10 in Walmart for a bottle of 365 tablets.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I got my car insurance renewal and it is 1000 euro less than last year. It's still extortionate but it's so much better. I'm so happy I don't have to panic about it anymore!

    My friend at work got roared at by one of the managers recently. This lady is visually and otherwise impaired, is a hard worker and would never raise her voice to anyone. She's finally made a formal complaint. I'm delighted she's done that for herself.

    YAY! ATTAGIRL !!!

    I know. The friends coming in from Texas next week will bring great bags of aspirin and brufen for me. And someone told me that where they live, Solpadeine, made in Ireland, costs dollar and a half a box.. Is anything up to E10 here . And you have to all but go down on your knees to the pharmacist to get them. the North is better than here.

    I love how Grace has embraced Ireland and I love how the Irish Community generally rally around and help out. It just gives a little pleasant boost, - even with the mess the Country is, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that the rural homestead anyway dunno about City-folk, will always rally around the Community. It's warm and endearing.

    For kindness, blessings and thanks.. It has been admittedly a bit of a battle here to get supply lines sorted,but now there is only kindness about it.. yesterday when they delivered as they know I am resting, they silently lift the boxes ;)partway down the drive so as not to wake me ! Even the dog did not hear them,..

    They knew I was having problems shopping but had no idea how to sort it.Once sorted, all is great.

    When I was without power all winter, there was help indeed, but not pushy. I will never forget that kindness and strive to repay it in ways that are acceptable.

    And we are careful not to ask of each other what we do not need. As we do not always know the troubles folk are coping with

    People think that country folk are nosy when in fact it is the opposite. As we live so close together, privacy is deeply respected. Some newcomers call island folk unfriendly when they are simply respecting your privacy.

    And I hear no gossip. Which is wonderful.

    Island life is a world apart. A microcosm. My way of life..

    It's my motherf*cking birthday.
    After work, I'm getting in the car, picking up a buddy, and then driving to Cork to meet up with 14 other lads to get messy for the weekend.
    I'm going to eat as much cake and icecream and steak and doughnuts and lovely stuff as possible and drink like a pirate.

    F*cking yyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I wrote off my car yesterday.

    My TH, and it's not even trivial really, is that there was nobody else in the car with me, I didn't hit anyone else and I walked away without a scratch.
