A nice view

I'm rarely onine at the weekends mainly because trying to get at my computer or on the motherships laptop involves a battle with either one of 3 nieces who range from 9 - 13. They are all currently obsessed with this game thing called Moshi Monsters..not too sure of the logic myself but it does keep them quiet when its raining outside and they are "booooored"!! 

Anyway on my way home form Blackpool yesterday I went right instead of left over Belvelly bridge and stopped to look at the way the fog was coming in over to Cobh from Passage...it looked awesome as it was late dusk and the colour of the sky made it even more mystical!

 

I love the Winter and the way it makes everything look especially living in the country on an island - I'll try and get a nice shot of the view from my bedroom window the nest time the mist skulks in...its quite something. Apologoes for the quality of pictures, they were taken on my phone, I'm hoping that Santa will a new camera in my stocking this year!!

Love, Life...Appreciation

Today is one of those days where something has reminded me of the past and how lucky I feel now to have got through it and found something so much greater!! (Explains the mixed signals the above pictures may give!!) x

New boots..and money raised for charity!

This weekend I ventured north of the Cork county and went to Dublin. Myself and my fellow CL comrade Joanne had purchased tickets for the Childline concert last night. Now the line up was not one that I would've picked for myself (except for Westlife - an adoration stemming back to my 11 year old days, that grew with me, I cant seem to let go!! And dont even get me started on the "split") but it was of course money contributed to keeping the Childine service open and running which as you know is very close to me. As volunteers we got pre sale tickets which I assumed meant we would be up the front, however we weren't, but as it was tiered seating we still had a perfect view. The O2 is actually a nice venue and will have to try and get there again. There was plenty of kids there along with their parents who all seemed to be enjoying themselves and I think the total raised was over 400,000euro - so successful on all parts!

I also managed to buy the nicest pair of boots ever while in the capital!! I had seen them in Penneys in Cork but as usual not in my size (6 seems to be quite popular) but I had to have them. So I traipsed from Pearse St to Grafton St to O'Connell St and to Henry St where I finally found them...and I freakin' love them!! I cant wait to wear them when myself and himself venture out Friday night for a few social drinks :-) 

Aren't they awesome??!!

Tuesday Blues.

This is how I feel today...I just want to be at home tucked up on the couch in my duvet, watch Friends and drink tea all day long!! But no, I'm at work about to embark on apartment inspections which I hate, walking into someone else's mess is NOT my idea of fun, bleugh!! 

Carry You....

When I know I'm all alone, I say your name slowly

And I know that I'm alone, but I'll carry you

Does it feel good like a memory, when you try some history

Itss a dream to come around, the rule doesnt bend 

Because the taste doesnt taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed

All you'll get is what you wanna hear

It hurts because it should, how else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want, dont ask

Well, heres to living in the moment, Because it passed

Maybe a lie is what I needs sometimes, you told the most and best of anyone 

You said "Keep me in your pocket", So I carried you

You better chose your words carefully, because Im not your anything

Gonna stay here in my place and you'll stay in yours

Becuase your only good is what you're good for.

I pace around the room to spend the time

Waiting while the burning pictures fade

One thing to make your mind and another to say its name
Im still carrying a little hope that maybe things could be different now

Is that so wrong, is that wrong, is that so wrong??

Would I say you tonight, at a place we go?

Could going through the motions lead to real emotions?

I wanna make things right before time runs out

It was like you said, the taste dont taste like it should

Roll down the windows let the cold air come in

Slap my face just to feel you somehow again....

Cant beat a bit of Jimmy Eat World lyrics to reinforce the fact that I made the right decision!! :-)

Brrr its getting colder...

I love the Winter, it is most definitely my favourite season! I love that its getting colder and the fire is being lit every day and I get to snuggle up in my big fleecy dressing gown at every opportunity! I have an awesome view from my house and it looks postcard worthy in the Winter so ill try to get a snap soon and put it up. Although its so much harder to get up in the morning when its so cold, I love going out to the car to go to work and feeling the crisp cold air as I inhale sharply and dash into the car in an attempt to warm up. I don't like driving when its icy though...I would be a nervous wreck behind the wheel, (then with my track record its understandable!) But yeah Winter rocks..out come the scarves, gloves and hats!! 

Chaotic!!

I've barely been online ALL week - which is a huge deal for me!! Easy to tell I have not been at work this week. Instead I took a week off and decided to redecorate my room, a task that at times this week I have regretted at some stage. I never realised I had soooo much stuff! Honestly I just dont know where I accumulate it from. My stuff has now taken over the hall, spare room and my sitting room...and its driving me crazy! I hate mess or clutter or things being left around the house, theres a place for everything! But until the new carpet arrives in 2 days and the furniture a week later Im just gonna have to suck it up...as well as sleeping in the couch! I am proud to say that I did t the painting, prepping, moving of furniture, taking down and repainting of shelves etc myself with the help of Himself, although the painting nearly drove us to divorce before we even get a chance to get up any kind of aisle!! I will post pictures when the project is complete and am really excited about moving back into new old room! (The colour of the writing somewhat resembles the colour in my room now!)
