Was up early but back in bed now and catching up with the world. Need to get myself in the holiday mood.

Here’s hoping that sun makes its way down here by this afternoon, have lots of sitting gardenside planned for my days off!

Ar an leaba. Legs sore from the gym yesterday so I’m planning on taking it handy before work. Today is car inspection day and I’m slightly apprehensive, I love that car so much I really want everything to come back okay.

I'd a brilliant backpack run around Portmarnock (and the beach) in the pissing rain last night, went home and died a death.

So just up from a brilliant sleep (I'd still be asleep if Richo hadn't wanted to jump into bed beside me).

Day 4 without coffee, I'd LOVE a cup but I'll hold out.. So, porridge and since I've taken a few days leave with nothing to do I might head down to the beach with Richo for a stroll.

I love the tough runs when they're of my choosing.

Jenna James · 11-07-2019 9:35am

Waiting to go for my interview... really tired so trying to keep perky! Wish I liked coffee!!

It's good to sweat, would you listen to music while running?

Yup, depending on the type of run I'll listen to anything from house to metal.

Last night was going to be a longer slow run so it was 50 Cent.

I hate running without music, cycling is the same. I listen to music cycling too.

Having a coffee in a lovely little cafe in my mums hometown in Mayo and listening to Dermot Kennedy. Came to visit her grave, put down some lovely lillies and just tidied it up a bit.

Heading home soon and gotta start packing for my holliers.

Some people don't get grave visiting but I find it the most peaceful thing to do. I get great pleasure from visiting my dad's grave - just wish I could visit it more often.

I visit my mothers grave at least twice a week for a little chat.I live close by so it's easier...it's a beautiful spot..

Having a beer in a place called Mojstrana, Slovenia, came to rent a bicycle, all sold out..and I passed loads of places in the place I am staying, booked another nights accomadation, one less headache..
I got up early and did a long off road run (Tamarju in Planica) stunning..no wonder the beer is gone to my head..

I’m in the kitchen, just off the phone from the engineer who was inspecting the car. Few small issues but nothing major. He said for the price I probably wouldn’t get much better which I’m happy enough to hear

Witchie · 11-07-2019 2:59pm

Feeling sad. Just found out a girl I was friends with in school died. Haven't seen her in a few years but she was so lovely.

Her poor husband lost his first wife, a toddler daughter, mother-in-law and his unborn twins in the Omagh bombing and my friend was Stepmom to his other children.

Just hard to fathom how someone survives something like that. Those poor kids have lost 2 mammies.

Sorry to hear about your friend, that's awful.

And the poor man & his children, and those two ugly words 'Omagh bombing' will forever send chills through anyone who remembers those days.

Thankfully we're more resilient than we give ourselves credit for and your friend will get through this and hopefully find love and companionship again.

I'm not in the least bit religious but I'll certainly give that poor man and his children some thoughts from beautiful Portmarnock beach or Howth summit when I'm training later.

Not forgetting you either.

I have to admit it. I’m crying. It’s a cruel world sometimes. Take care everyone.

I'm the same. It's about a 2 hour drive from where I live and I hadn't been down since Christmastime, which I felt bad about but the few months after Christmas were so difficult for me that I couldn't bring myself to go and make myself more upset. I normally go with the aul lad but went solo today, which was nice for a change. Told her all my gossip :pac:

She'll be gone 10 years this October, so hard to believe.

Such fun with the two little people! Nearly 4 & nearly 2, so much Craic! I missed so much when I was away, it's great to get close again......
Although, I'm knackered now.... Glass of wine time

Home from a hill walk over Howth summit with Richo

Witchie, your friend & her family were in my thoughts, including all the victims of the Omagh bombing.

Just chilling with Richo at my feet and trying to watch Derry Girls, I can't get into it. I'm guessing its a teenie, girlie show or should I give it some more time?

Ireland's Eye and Lambay in the background. Never lived up there, but spent many an afternoon up there in my teens. Beautiful place. The Bailey below it.

I'm so sorry Witchie to read your sad news. That poor man and his children

A few nights ago I was having a chat with a friend of mine about how there are no fairy tales in life and that bad things do happen to good people.

I do try and be positive and grateful and remind myself of all I have. It gets hard sometimes though. Himself is in a dreadful mood tonight. Uncommunicative, staring in to space, and "you're annoying me". I wish I was at home. Relationships are hard.

Mam of 4 · 11-07-2019 10:55pm

Musings..

Life is short for a lot of people , appreciate those who are in your lives , today , let them know how much they mean to you , you may never get another chance to do so .

Thanks all for your kind words. Ach it's just shocking. She was such a lovely person those kids, who would be in their twenties now where lucky to have her in their lives.

Am on my way to Bangalore airport for first leg of journey home. The way my driver is driving I might be lucky to get there alive.

So so sorry Witchie. It's unbelievable the hand of cards ( or whatever way it can be described) that some people are dealt in life. May she rest in peace.
