So, Am I Psychic?

Last night I had a dream that there was a hole in the side of the milk we just received in our grocery order.  It was a slightly strange dream (who dreams about milk?!?) not just because of the milk but because I couldn’t seem to get Simon to understand why there was no milk [...]

Last Night Was Good Craic

Good food, excellent ceremony.  It was a lot of fun. To answer my mother’s question from yesterday, I didn’t wear the same shoes as I wore to the wedding because I was running around all night and they were not comfortable. And the winner of the 2008 25k Award was… Affyon Networks – an innovative [...]

So, Tomorrow Night

Is the 25k Award Dinner. So we’ll all be at work late tomorrow.  And then we’re going out afterward. And if anyone can figure out, before tomorrow around 6:15p when my taxi will pick me up to take me to the dinner, what ‘Smart cocktail – ties optional’ means?  Let all the girls in my [...]

I Don’t Really Have Much To Say

but if I don’t post, my mother worries. Don’t worry mom.  I’m fine. Where are you, anyway? Home?  Traveling? Mom? Hello…MOM?!??!?

I Had An Interesting Day Yesterday

I spent the day representing the Park at the Darwin200 meeting.  I gave a little talk about the Park and heard about what is planned for the coming celebrations of Darwin’s birthday next year. I thought it might be a little boring, but it was really very interesting.  And everyone said I spoke well.  So [...]

Our Trip – 13th September 2008 and 14th September 2008

So the next day was very lazy.  Lunch in the village, naps.  Time by the pool.  Just a very lazy day with not much happening. That night there was another wedding having their reception at the restaurant of the villa, so we ordered masses of pizza and ate on the veranda.  It was fun.  And [...]

Our Trip – 12th September 2008 – The Wedding Day!!!

On Friday I once again woke up at OMG!Early!  So I got to spend some more time with baby Bela and his mum and dad. In Italy you have to be married in a civil ceremony before you get married any other way.  Anna and Jeremy had asked that only the family come to that [...]

Our Trip – 11th Sept 2008, A day in the lap of luxury…

Let me start this post with the note that it never occurred to me that it was 911 on this day.  I don’t think anyone mentioned it once, although there were plenty of Americans (Jeremy is half American, half British) at the wedding.  In some ways I think this is a good thing, a sign [...]

Our Trip – 10th Sept 2008, Travel Day…

So we left for Tuscany OMG!Early on Wednesday 10th September 2008.  Our taxi picked us up at 6:30am! We met up with Simon’s Parents at Belfast International Airport and all flew to London Gatwick.  We then had about 5 hours at Gatwick, which is a good thing because Simon’s mum has mobility issues and we [...]

So…

We’re back! We had an amazing time and I will be writing about it over the next few days. We didn’t get home until OMG!Late last night, due to a delayed flight from Gatwick, so still recovering from that. The wedding was just wonderful.  Unfortunately our camera punked out on us the second day so [...]
