Working lunch on Saturday...ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS ON SUNDAY!!!!!

Went to the boss' gaff on Saturday for lunch and it was, in fact, quite a good afternoon. His friend, who owns a chain of restaurants, a microbrewery and a catering firm, was in charge of the food and booze. Needless to say the food was incredible but the beer was excellent. He had some belgian beer and his own special brew beer which is unavailable to buy and is only served in his top restaurant...and it was simply divine. Needless to say we attacked that with a vengance!! Conversation was pleasant and the boss was in good form, joking and philosophising to his hearts content. He's quite a remarkable man really and admiration is certainly due him for what he has acheived. Started with nothing, he has built a massively successful firm which is constantly expanding. His outlook on life is uplifting and his philosophy on life is refreshing.

After the lunch, I hobbled back to home and writhed, or rather stood motionless in agony as my back had truly decided to "slip" out of it's own accord. Mind-numbing pain and the inability to lift my right leg at all was most disconcerting. It took me 30 minutes to get to KC's place which would normally take me less than 10 minutes. Had a couple of beers there before they all headed out le club but I was in no condition to go anywhere so I went home and blissfully slept for about 10 hours. My back was in good shape the next morning and went to Umeda to do a bit of looking around. Went to see Star Wars again with TM as she hadn't seen it. Not a bad film but the guy playing Anakin is pure trite...terrible acting.

By the way, GO ON THE REBELS!!!!!!!! Fair play to the All-Ireland Champions, fantastic result and well deserved from what I've read. Magnificent defending by the legend that is John Gardiner and O'hAilpin, Ben O'Connor, we salute you....

Work today was the usual, just too late to go to the gym afterwards...and my back was starting again (yawn, even I'm getting bored with that line at this stage).

Bye for now

This week I have mostly been eating melon bread

Hi Pee, sounds like there's a plan in the offing. You must be looking forward to Somoa. I'd say it'll be a cracking holiday!! Long weekend coming up this weekend and the following weekend, then I have 3 days off the following week...looking forward to the break(s). As regards the back...numbing injections I think. Winter sounds good in NZ! We must arrange a telephone conversation soon...

Cilla, posted you on a wee letter so keep your eyes open for it. I'll buzz ya soon and we can have a wee natter..

Sis, enough talk about sausages..ahghhhhghghhhh, sausages...

Hi Carmo,
In a long-running saga to rival that of your back problems, though not as painful (at least not physically): a Fea's Petrel was reported past the Old Head this morning....
Col and Cronin got the Cape Greenish, I'm sure they'll tell you all about it.

H, hard lines on the Fea's...who had it?? I knew the langer was going to Cape so I partly guessed that he was going to get it but when I heard that Scottish langer was there aswell (ya, you Col ya bas) I was disgusted!! He's catching me..might have to quit work here and get back home to make sure he doesn't!!

Col, enough said, respect...NOT!! Nice bird, might get it OML in October. Going birding in the morning so might have some news later on.
