You mean you haven’t received your invite yet? Ooh...awkward.
If it helps Juergen and Paddy, teaching is excellent at making me feel old! My class are quite disappointed that I’m still not married - they question me about it regularly.
Over the last few years a few things have happened for me.
- graduated
- got my full teaching licence and permanent job
- moved in with my boyfriend (into the joys of Dublin renting :pac:)
- trained aerials for...about 3 or 4 years I think? I’ll be prepping for performances soon and giving up any pretence at a normal life during that! I would love to compete next year so need to get properly cracking on with training to have any hope of it.
- and just adult life really lads. Had quite a major family bereavement so yknow, had to step up to a lot of sudden adulting after that.
No weddings though. I’ve promised my class if I get married this year they can all be flower girls. That’s how sure I am that it won’t happen this year

I mean...you said it, not me!I'm trying to eat more plant based / vegetarian (because I love eggs) for the next while, between that and the attempted beard growing I'm a walking caricature I know but still....trying new things.
Oh I’ve been doing this too, I eat meat 2 or 3 times a week. Been about a year now. If you’ve got any good recipes send them my way.
Does sound a bit caricaturey though man - it’ll be kombucha and tiny housing for you yet!0 -

Hey BK,
Bring your bf to the next beers and we will get him to pull the finger out. Explain how you want a 2021 wedding, so he needs to get moving.. :P:pac:;)
Ahh the joys of Dublin renting, yeah I had enough of that after 20 years of renting and put we deposit down last year on a house after finally finding the right place in the right location, just outside Dublin, large enough to comfirtably hold friends and family to visit and by the sea as an added bonus..
Is ariels that thing where you hang from large ribbons and flip around like a half loon in the air?
My condolences on the loss BK

Christ no, he can come to a beers if you promise to do the opposite of that :pac:
Yeah it’s crazy alright. We’re in a good place with low rent (well, for Dublin like) though so pretty lucky there.
That’s possibly the most accurate summary of aerials I’ve ever seen! Aerial arts are really just using anything that hangs in the air. So silks (the ribbons), hoop, rope, straps, trapeze...much of a muchness between a lot of them tbqh. The flipping around like a loon is always a key part of it anyway.
Prepping to begin parent teacher meetings here at the moment. Always funny watching the kids try to be angelic in the week before those meetings!0 -

Get him to break up with you? Bit extreme, but OK, we can arrange that :pac:"BonsaiKitten wrote:Yeah it’s crazy alright. We’re in a good place with low rent (well, for Dublin like) though so pretty lucky there.
Yeah we were the same, rent only went up €100 in nearly 6 years. A colleague of mine was renting in the same complex and paying nearly €500 a month more for a smaller apt, only one bathroom and no parking. But after paying nearly €250k in rent during my time in Dublin, it was time to get my own place."BonsaiKitten wrote:That’s possibly the most accurate summary of aerials I’ve ever seen!

Sounds pretty cool, just be careful as I'm sure any mistake has pretty serious consequences."BonsaiKitten wrote:Prepping to begin parent teacher meetings here at the moment. Always funny watching the kids try to be angelic in the week before those meetings!
Ohhh lovely, the joy of telling parents that their little darlings are actually psychotic brats who struggle to remember their own name. Yes I do love kids as you can tell :pac: 0 -

It's been well over 3hrs now at this stage.
Lets all go mad.
Within reason.
BK I'm looking at you.
My evening of going mad will consist of propping myself up in the bed with the laptop, watching an episode of some TV show and falling asleep by 10.30. I'm shattered.
Guess I'm getting old :rolleyes: 0 -
