Eating breakfast outside on the decking this morning was grrrreat! Not only cos it was outside, but also cos I’m just so thankful for my housemate (not just because she’s the reason I get to hang out in a house like this…).
A “game” of tennis (very funny), a HOT shower in the rain-like shower and an impromptu barbeque…

Took the train down to Dublin this avo. Its actually very relaxing even if it takes forever: reading, listening to my ipod… grrrrrreat.
Dinner with “collegues” – who are so much more than just that – outside a restaurant in a surprisingly quiet waterside area of Dublin as the sun set. Food was great too.
Hmm… Oh! I know! Ramore Strawboffee dessert. Yum, yum, yum. An afternoon nap and then a wee jaunt to the stones-kicked-by (!) household was a nice way to pass an evening.

So, I scived my cardio kick exercise class. I have no good excuse except the girl I usually go with has asthma and wasn’t feeling great. So I scived! BUT… my housemate and I slobbed on the sofa (after some very tasty salmon, butternut squash and cous cous – surprisingly yummy!) and watched some Gilmore Girls. At 9.40 I announced we should go for a wee walk. And we DID! Except it ended up being a big walk, but it was sooo good and we chatted about lots of stuff and prayed and joked and laughed and it was great.
Hurray for long walks in the rain!
(and a great housemate)

Aaaaahhh, Sunday! Hurrah!
I was at my home church this morning with Mumsie (being Mumsie’s Day and all that…) and once I got over the fact that I was jealous of the fact that life appears to have gone on without me, I appreciated the fact that life has gone on – there are new people, happy people, involved people etc.
Ok, I’m still jealous. But in theory it made me happy.
Being so grateful for my car – the freedom it brings. Also the fact that this month I could afford to buy my mum, aunt and uncle their dinner out.

Its incredible how much a day doing virtually nothing can be soooo good!
I did enjoy: wearing my beret in public, trying a new dish in an Indian resto (Tandoori Nagpuri – reccommended!) and laughing til my belly ached at my friend’s “dogs” slash rats.

God showing up in song choices. Sunday lunch chilling out with friends. Indifference to an empty house. An early night!
Oh, and as I drove to my friends’ house, I saw two horses running across a sunlit field – very picture-skew.
Another “oh, and”… I won a wee prize for having the highest ladies’ score at a church bowling night from Friday! Cool. Doesn’t say much for the other ladies’ skill however…! Though 108 is decent enough, huh?

Its kind of ridiculous, but somehow walking along the Giant’s Causeway being almost lifting off my feet by the wind and being smacked in the face by hail and snow was the greatest thing in a while! What a day, what weather, what a place to live!
A dinner of fajitas cooked by someone else’s fair hand, some banter with church folk and then the return of my housemate.
365
