Tear along the dotted lines Harry!!!

My friend Vinnie, his wife Sue and daughter Roisin were visiting from Australia. Vinnie was and still is a hardcore mosher, a rocker friend from my youth. Watching him parent his 9 year old daughter brought about so many laughs during the visit. His absolute shock that my littles were still up at 11.20pm and outside in the dark with no footwear. SHOCK, HORROR.  Such a wonderful time catching up with old friends, and I hope it won't be another 4 years before we do so again. We only make an effort when Vincenzo comes home, this time we will make more of an effort to keep up the contact. Feels like a lifetime ago since we were heading to rock concerts together. Oh the memories........

It rained on yesterday St. Swithun's Day so here we go......

St Swithun's day if thou dost rain

For forty days it will remain

St Swithun's day if thou be fair

For forty days 'twill rain nae mare

So cold and wet and winter like, it's meant to be summer oh ye Sun Gods, give us a break, PLEASE.

The littles explaining the joys of Irish TV versus Aussie TV!
