Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)
I know I’m an irregular poster but I haven’t been here in a while. I’ve been in a bit of a funk and haven’t been able to think of anything to make me smile for the last little while.
I will probably disappear again for another little while but I will be back!
I’m thrilled that Matt and Lilian are back together.
Well done Tiger & Pussycat.
Did I say I’d be updating when on holidays? Well I would have if I hadn’t been a silly-billy and forgotten the charger for the netbook – Doh!
The plan is to upload a the photos this afternoon and we’ll see if any of them are any good. For some unknown reason I didn’t take as many this time around.
I can’t believe the day has finally arrived.
Paris has loads of free wifi so I think there will definitely be an update or two.
It’s nearly 4am – we must be nuts!!!
Well when I say I bought – I persuaded himself to make the actual purchases as I don’t have a credit card or paypal account.

If you scroll down the page you will spot the first bunny and she is Ava. I have a niece call Aoibhe and we are pronouncing it ava so when she is old enough I might consider passing the bunny along to her or I might just keep her as she’s so cute. However if you scroll a little further you will see the bunny that is destined for my bedside locker and that is little Rosie – isn’t she adorable? I can’t wait to get my hands on these little treasures.
Anyway enough of my avarice I have to go and cook dinner.
Yesterday my copy of Love Actually and Under Milkwood arrived. As I’m feeling under the weather I figured heavy concentration was never going to happen so Dylan Thomas will have to wait a week or so. This evening however was Love Actually. It is a film I plan to add to my list of things to watch with great frequency. That list so far consists of:
Persuasion (Amanda Root & Ciaran Hinds)
Jane Eyre (Samantha Morton & Ciaran Hinds)
Peters Friends (Stephen Fry & Friends)
Miss Marple box set (Joan Hickson)
The Snowman
La Cenerentola & La Traviata
Love Actually
There are others but I can’t think of them right now – I’m putting it down to my cold.
I’m terrible – I was tagged a while ago and never got around to doing it – I’m not admitting I forgot but we’ll leave it in the air 🙂

The Rules: each player answers the questions. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 or 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
1. What I was doing 10 years ago:
1998 – I was working for an insurance company and my sister was living in London so the plan was to quit my job and go live with her for 6 months and do tourist by day bar work by night. That didn’t go according to plan as I was offered a job in the Post Office so I sacrificed carefree for security and 10 years on I’m still there.
2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (in no particular order):
3. Snacks I enjoy:
Will eat almost anything except smelly cheese – however give me CHOCOLATE and I’ll love you forever
4. Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
5. Places I have lived in:
Waterford, Ireland
Dublin, Ireland
Ok I’m supposed to tag people but I don’t really know who to tag – so to change it a little if anybody wants to pick this meme and run with it leave me a comment so I can go visit your answers.
This weekend we’re going away. I’m really looking forward to it on two different fronts. The first is that I am going to drive to the airport and park so we don’t have to rely on a taxi at 5.30am or for coming home. So three cheers for me – I’ll be having a panic attack about getting to the airport and he’ll be having on when we get there. He’s the lucky one- I can’t take little tables and drive but he can take them and fly – plane is optional.
The other thing I’m looking forward to is we’re off to London. I have to say I’m really looking forward to it. I haven’t been over there in a long while – 12 years to be precise. I went over for my 21st present to see the Three Tenors in concert and it was wonderful. We weren’t too far from Baker Street and this time we’re at the other end of it. So we’ll have to have a look at all of that as he is reading his way through Sherlock Holmes at the moment. The main reason for our trip is the Jack The Ripper exhibition in the museum at docklands. When I say we have a slightly more then passing interest in the subject. We have a seemingly never ending list of places to see and things to do so I have a feeling that London will remain a destination of interest for quite a while to come.
I feel like I should be bouncing around with excitement but it’s 22.43 so I’m going to go to bed instead as I have work tomorrow. On the other hand a small squee of excitement is allowed! woohoo!
I have a blog for giving out in and I have a LiveJournal for wittering in so I think that this is going to be a Weblog of things that make me smile. This could be anything from nice pictures of my cats, food, things I’ve made or would like to make and just general pretty things.
So to start the list of happiness this morning I drove myself and himself down to Blanchardstown to do our weekly shopping. This was the first time for the shopping and only my second time down to the shopping centre. I’m pleased that we managed it without incident after all I’m only learning to drive and I’m also pleased ’cause our fridge and presses are full again.
