    My niece and her pony. Found myself slipping into bad patterns after recent life events, and decided instead of wallowing I would get up and call over to them today.

    Took her for a spin, her smile and the angelic old pony just plodding along was enough to cause me to crack a smile!

    Should be ‘faoi gceann’ there, horse. ‘Pale Irish’ sticks out like a sore thumb to us native speakers.

    Lasagna in the oven. After dinner I'm going to have a long, hot shower. Then I'm going to settle down to watch GOT with chocolate and coke. In the best mood I've been in for at least a week :)

    " i gceann" sounds perfect to my native munster ears. Hope you don't make a habit of embarassing people who are using the language as intended, to be enjoyed.

    "i gceann" here too, in my mongrel Irish. No wonder the language is dying with Gaeilge Nazi's still going strong :(

    Employment offer ...I hadn't even started actively looking yet. Knowing that's there if I want it, takes the stress out of it. It's up there with the ideal jobs for me...I thought I should train up before formally applying , just so I have more to offer...but they said they'd love to have me. The fact that I like them is nearly as important as the pay...

    Was listening to a podcast last night and my name popped up in the conversation.
    Briefly but a nice surprise nevertheless.

    The missus called me to tell me that the dog took a wee on a tennis ball.


    I'm not sure what's made me happier, knowing the dog is a little gobsh*te, or that it was so impressive it needed a phone call.

    Good ice cream. I had a not-too-pleasant morning of hospital appointments and shoe shopping, but stopping I managed to get amazing ice cream in the gelateria in Bray on the way home. Really cheered me up.

    There's this lovely motherly cook where I work and she saves me lovely treats to have with my tea in the afternoons. She's so, so, so, so nice. I asked her if she was interested in adopting me, she said she'll think about it.
