Back online again after my trip home. I absolutely gorged myself on all those foods which i’ve missed in the past year (taytos, sausages and all the rest) and importantly I now have a good stock of tea bags to keep me going for another while, although I may be calling on Gerry O’Sullivan to organise another appeal in about 10 months or so.
I also brought back a nasty sunburn, on my feet of all places. Me baldy head got a right doin’ too and now it’s peeling, the lads here think i’ve picked up some class of a disease as i’m going around scratching myself all the time.
It was a good holiday though, probably the first holiday in a number of years where I managed to completely remove all thoughts of work from my mind. And that’s only the start of it, I managed to wipe some of Finland from my mind too. In the airport last night I was complaining about lost luggage, the girl at the service desk asked me for my address in Finland and I couldn’t remember it! I had to think for a minute or two before it came back to me! It seems I needed a holiday from the country as much as I needed it from work.
It’s nice to be back to normality but isn’t it gas just how fast the entire holiday experience disappears from your mind? It started already yesterday on our flight from København, there were a rake of chattering Finns on the flight and that was enough to kick off the process of switching my brain back to Finnish life. And now in work it’s as if I never left, indeed only for the scratching & scalding feet I wouldn’t know i’ve been anywhere.
As for work, nothing has changed here, same shit every day, I think I need a holiday.
Back in action …

Glad to here you enjoyed yourself.
I’ll be over home meself on Friday for a whole 2 weeks and 3 days! I made a deal with me boss that I’d work one or two days so I won’t use up to much of me holidays. Only 3 weeks here in Yankeeland.
> And now in work it’s as if I never left
Ack, that’s the worse part of any holiday :O
At the moment here in Boston it’s 28c at 11:40pm and so fecking humid, it feels like swimming out. I can’t wait for some nice cool weather at home (without the pissing rain I hope).
Did U get up to Donegal at all?
Hi Mick,
Lucky you, enjoy the trip. I hope the weather holds, it was gorgeous there last week, though a tad too hot for me.
You only get 3 weeks? We get 4 here plus 1 more week in winter … probably because of the high suicide rates over the long winter. :confused:
No, didn’t get to Donegal. Made it to Sligo for a couple of days but had to change our Donegal plans unfortunatly. Next time perhaps.
Any wild plans for your trip home?
Ar meisce!
Going to Westport for a couple of days after I arrive in Dublin. Then up to Donegal Town, then Dungloe for a wedding, then to Tory Island for a day or two with a few friends. Then back to Donegal, Dublin, plane, work ….
I’m sure I’ll spend some time hiking on the Bluestacks, and if the weather is nice I’ll head to the beach for a picnic.
I’m sure I’ll have a gas time.
Jaysus, that sounds nice Mick. I’d be too lazy to do all that though, only for a bored missus i’d probably sit on me arse all the time
Have a good one anyway, send us a postcard
