Heh Everyone ,


Well what has been happening in the mad cap  world of the Magpie these last few days.... Well for starters I am on holidays !!! WHOOHOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A whole week awway from the place that drives me demented... I can't believe it , it is amazing ...

So our weekend has been mental ,started off with my brothers 30th ..A BBQ  down in my mothers , plenty of drink was had and plenty of  laughs then off to Galway for the Curra fest . let me tell you all about that journey ;


First my dad  dropped myself and Mad Mac to the train station where we dicovered the train we wannted didn't actully depart from the station we were at  luckily enough there was a train headed for our destination sitting there in the station, however we were not allowed on said train .. Thank God the driver took pity on us and alowed us on the train , although we did have to rush to catch him .  . eventually we get picked up by my friend  and her partner and proceed to their house via the winding , extremly bumpy roads. We get to the house and are served a delicious dinner of cottage pie . I have never tasted anything quite so nice as that was at that moment . Everything was fantastic until we looked out the widow , and to our dismay it was raining  !! My heart sank , a full day in the rain ughh !!

After the dinner off we drove to her Mammy's house ,, and from there we hit the pub . Shortly afterwards the big green bus arrrived and before I knew it we were on our way . A few short moments were spent on the bus when we pulled up outside a golf course in the middle of nowhere. Feck it we thought ad off we trotted . Our first port of call when we got in was to the bar , sadly we eded up stayig there or quite a number f hours becase what had started off as a light drizzle and turned biblical in its downpur . Eventuay we all tired out of standing in  the dry area and made our way to the stages , there was a few hours of brilliance , drinking listening to great music , wearing a big blue plastic pocho. Sadly I am getting to old for this malaracky and at about two o clock this morning after standing in the rain for close to 12 hours   I was cold and tired and all I wanted was a bed . So  eventually  we left and went to look for our bus , and here is when it got interesting .  You see there was no bus . We spent the next two hours trying to figure out how we were getting home . After a half hour of blagging we got our way home , and I eventually foud a bed ,, shivering I got dressed in to dry clothes and climbed in to the worlds most comfortable bed . Though I woke this morning with a cold !!!


Here are some pictures form our day in Galway

So today I am tired and cranky and I can not get warm , but twas a great laugh and will be yet another story I can pass on to my grand kids one day .. "I''ll never forget the time I got stranded in Galway soaked to the skin....."   God I can moan lol , anyways  till next time




Thanks for listening
