Country life...

We went out for a few drinks last night while my Dad graciously babysat (thanks Dad!). We had a lovely night, few games of pool (I won but I'm not bragging or anything!) and a few drinks in our local - which of course isn't really local but it is the pub we tend to end up in when we just want to go for a couple, also a good place to watch the rugby.
It would not be the liveliest spot in town and when we arrived at 9pm there were only 2 others in the bar. After our games of pool we sat up at the bar, now, it was still very quiet only about 8-10 people, when the barman walked out the front door leaving the till wide open and was gone for about 5 mins. This could really only happen in Ireland!!! Then there were the 3 ladies that came in and sat down chatting before even ordering a drink and stayed sitting there until the barman went over to get them their drinks. Now while table service is common in a lot of places it would not be a regular occurance in a small town like this. The barman was gas, he said they would just sit there all night gabbing if he hadn't gone over!
We spent the night just laughing in disbelief at the small town lifestyle that we love so much!

Finally made it!

It's official! I finaly reached my 1 Stone weight loss! It has taken a good bit longer than I had initially hoped with those last couple of pounds hanging on for weeks but I have finally reached it! I am delighted but afraid to weigh myself again in case the scales made a mistake!! It's really nice to hear people complimenting me on my weight loss and everyone seems to notice but all I kept thinking was I haven't lost any weight in weeks!


Had Salsa again last night, it's getting complicated now! Turns and all sorts! No friends forthcoming yet though!


Been trying to get a picture of Eoin's two teeth to put up but he keeps moving so they are all coming out blurry. Here is the best of what I have got until I can get a better shot!
