Today, in case you live in a bubble, is Fathers Day. In our house my children are handing over a present and card to their Dad. We will cook a nice dinner for him, leave him in peace to watch the big match, and generally spoil him, as we should. Over one hundred and eighty … More I miss him “My aul man”.
Are you someone who lives life? Do you actually enjoy it? Appreciate it? Or are you someone who lets life slip by, forgetting we do not get a second chance?

Todays guest repost comes from the blog of Awfully chipper, a fellow Irish blogger living abroad. I think it’s a beautiful post, but I’ll leave you make up your own mind. There’s a road I walk along often in my dreams. The sea is on one side, a high wall on the other. The waves … More In dreams.
You could say I made a boob, which in Ireland means a mistake! Yesterday I posted a post by the writer of the blog “Small boobs, big smile”.
