Post Number Two
Well I'm back for post number two. Sorry its taken so long between this and post one but I wanted to get a few pictures to post this time round and that can take ages when you don't have your own computer. Definately on the list of things to get! So here's the update - I'm jumping around here a bit so bear with me!
While Anthony, Brian, Andrew and Roberta were over I took them around a good bit of the island. Now, if you haven't been over to see me yet you can guarantee that when you do you will be visiting Glendalough. Its my favorite part of Ireland, and I think that is due to listening to my Mom and Auntie Kate talk about how they loved to play football there while they were teenagers and seeing the huge picture of the old church hanging on Kate's wall for as long as I can remember. Anyway, on the way there are a few great spots to stop. One is at the top of this massive valley which has been amazingly windy every other time I've stopped there but for some reason it was nice and calm the day we went. The boys wanted to wander past the landing (which is as far as I have ever wandered) and head down the side of this hill (called "mountain" by the Irish) to see this flock of sheep. While there we dodged sheep droppings and I got this pic of the boys posing on top of this huge rock there. We also stopped at this ruin site which had a nice view of the valley (Kieran and Luke - remember standing on parts of this while Bruce, Christopher and I threw rocks at you? *sigh* the joys of quality family time) We also got to stay at my cousin's FABULOUS house that is on a cliff facing out to the Irish Sea. I was standing on the beach and took a pic of the house then did a pirouette on the spot (to bouncing applause from the watching crabs and nemos) and took a picture of the sea. Imagine seeing this every morning? The view was absolutely fabulous.
Fast forward a few days to Aisling's leaving do. Anytime someone leaves our delightful place of employment there is a night on the piss to celebrate/mourn their departure. Friday Sept 15 was the night we said adios to Aisling. She was headed back to school to become a secondary teacher (can you say jealous?) so here's a few pics of the crew. (PS Popping a champagne cork is not as easy as it looks in the movies!!) And that's all she (or I) wrote. Talk later! :)

Jenn!!!! Welcome to the internet community. I am so glad to hear how you're doing. Just because I'm terrible at keeping in touch doesn't mean I'm not interested. I'm glad to see you've found a balance between work and guiness :P I know I still have to visit you, believe me I'd love to. I'm online too. I've set up a kind of crappy place to get my music out there. I know the site needs work, but I just don't see that as a priority right now. you can find me at www.myspace.com/celiaperrins Maybe I'll come visit you on my first world tour (who knows? it could happen) I'm still in school. 2 long years left. Over the summer we had a taste of what it is to work as a real nurse, and man am I in the right spot! I should actually stop procrastinating, but I couldn't help checking your site out. Take care, Jenn.

Hi Celia! So fantastic to hear from you! I was just thinking about calling you the other day when I realized I don't have your new number. Can you forward me your info whenever you get a chance? I went onto your site but can't actually listen to music since I'm on a computer in the lab and they frown on all forms of pleasure :( which kinda throws my balance of work and guinness out the window since I think a balance is a pint of guinness in one hand and a pipette in the other. One day when I rule the world ...
