Below is an excerpt from an email sent to me by my French friend Michael, or French Mick as he is known by: I think its hilarious!
"Erin, the cowboy, & his friend from Houston, Texas whom we partied with last Friday.(we introduced him to the talented Daniel O'donnell? Ireland's own Elvis Presley)."
(*Note: Michael has a Daniel O'Donnell ashtray in his house and also a Daniel plate, creepy tastic, he is not a fan, although some may beg to differ).
Well some might say we are mad but we are taking the small girl on a big holiday to Taaaaampa in 5 weeks time (29th September-12 October) We are going to visit our friends Janel and Mort and stay with them and their children in their fabulous house. We haven't seen them in over 2 years and we've never met their daughter Nadia so we are very excited about the whole thing. We'll be celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary and also Sean's birthday while we are there.
I sent over Isobel's passport last week and it came back after only 5 working days which I think is probably a miracle, it's SOooooo cute.
We are flying with British Airways so the veggie meals, the baby bassinet and the front seats are all booked. I can't wait.
Will post photos when we come back.
This is me, testing that Google Maps embedding thingy wot is new and shiny.
Here's a few photos of me doing my presentation for my College course, back at the start of July.
Photoblogging...
Just finished installing a projector for Festival of World Cultures. Looks pretty good eh?
I am packing to go to New York to see my mates, why do I always take too much stuff, I have 10 pairs of pants (as in knickers) I am going to be there for 7 nights, this was beat into me by my lovely Mammy when I was in scouts, its not going to rain and I am not going to wee myself and even if both of those things happen, I still have spare pairs, and 4 pairs of shoes, and too many clothes to think about, and I know I will end up buying loads over there too, is it legal to be this obsessive about what I am bringing, help!!
This time, a slideshow for those of you who can't quite believe that the picture of me proposing to Nikki is real, here's another 30-something photos of the moment(s), set to some rather appropriate music.
I was going to try to upload all the photos to Flickr, but not everybody would get to see the "story" then, so I thought this was the best way. If anyone wants to see the actual photos (who already hasn't), I can bring me laptop to the weddin' (dodges slap from Nikki)!
On Sunday night at 12.15am I was breathalised, for the FOURTH time since they brought this in a while back, I don't even think its been a year since the first one, now, I am all for it, but really how come I get it done four times (all of which have read ZERO) and people who I know, who will get hammered, get into the car and drive home without ever ever being stopped? I know its random and all but really!! The first time was my favourite, I hadn't been drinking at all in about three weeks and yet still could barely speak to the cop, Justin was his name, with the nerves. Justin pulls me over, there is me with the L plates on and driving unaccompanied, he didn't seem to bothered by this, anyway, so he does the speech, I breathe for about 20 minutes into this thing and then it says zero, "congratulations you have passed" says Justin, then I try to drive off with the handbrake on, well done Sarah. I am surprised they didn't search the vehicle!!
The next two times were uneventful, last night, another cracker, "What's your name madam" (Madam??) "Babs McGinty" I say (ah no I said "Sarah Verso"), "Verso, thats a very unusual name" (I am thinking is this against the law now??) "Where are you coming from?" they ask me, "ah work, you know yourself", then "and where are you headed", then without thinking I say "I'm off out to a party" (why why did I say that???) then he clocks the box o beer on the passenger seat, gives me a filthy look as if to say "you're fucked now" and then does the speech about the test and gets me to blow into the pipe, I am again cacking myself even though its been about 36 hours since my last beverage of the alcoholic variety" CLICK it goes, and it says Zero (YAY!!) phew, and then the lady copper goes "you're car is deadly" (Deadly!!?? I mean it is and all, but what cop says that to someone just after breath testing them? Then the Lady Cop starts asking me all the questions about the Mini, lunacy!
The thick feck never noticed I had no NCT though did she?? Me: 1, Silly Coppers: 0.
Oh yeah, and they gave me the pipe thing that you blow into to "dispose of at my leisure", that's just lovely isn't it?
