I have not written here for an age, so now that I am on holiday and doing my best to try and not work, here goes.
We are staying in this pension in Bohemia, it is a converted farm house, A and I would both love one, we have looked before we came here – but we are unsure about country living – that would be such a shock to us. The pension is great, large rooms, friendly and for my Irish money very reasonable.

So here I am lying in bed on the best day so far this week. We were busy yesterday and went and bought a new bed frame last night and did not get back in until nearly 9. So I suggested we get a pizza and a DVD.
The DVD was good, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – though I do think the book is much better. The pizza was fine, your usual local stuff, because I was sharing the piazza I decided on some garlic bread and chicken wing. It was the bloody chicken wings that did it.

I was quite lucky while I was a student in that I did not have to stay around during the summer and work, I managed to get away every summer. However I had some problems with storage for my stuff and lost some of my precious books.
I would move out of my apartment some time in June and not move back until Uni was starting back at the end of September. So there was always the problem of where all my stuff was going to live for the summer.

I don’t know what happened but writing for fun stopped some time ago. It used to be easy to just sit down and pour out my mind. But now it is one of the main things in my work life and so maybe there is less fun.
So I have been wondering, thinking, how do I get back into writing again? I rack my brain, lying here on the couch thinking to myself – why don’t I write any more? And eventually the solution comes back to me again.

So the next two weeks I am having some time off work and staying away from the office. Life has been quite busy for the last year and I am tired. The tiredness is partly down to work and not making time for myself and looking after myself and partly down to UC which has been giving some problems again this year.
I started doing some training courses at the start of the year and that has taken off great, I had planned on my time off starting today, but I ended up doing an SEO course today for a Dublin make up school. The reason I mention this is preconceptions, mine and most peoples.

So I was doing great, no cigs for more than three weeks. Then yesterday I was having a very bad day and had two cigars. I threw the rest in the bin and today I have been feeling almost like the first day off the dam things again.
So playing on the computer instaed of working on the computer. I have decided that I have not added enough photos here, I have about 17,000 taken over the last couple of years, so I am going to share a few more a bit more often.

Listening to Prime Time tonight, at last O’Dea has gone I am amazed listening to Michael Martin defend O’Dea.
I do get amazed that anyone would turn out and vote for Martin, he never answers a question – he will talk over the top of other and continues to act lie a spoilt teenager. It is a real shame that this is the quality of leadership we have in Ireland today.

There was a time only a few years ago that I would be able to write or talk about any subject, almost. Now I am too stressed to write poetry.
Its not that I want to sit down and write poetry every day, or that I am much good at it – but it was something that I derived pleasure from.
What I am doing is using it as a baseline on how much fun is going on in life – the more stress I get day to day the less I can write anything…
There are steps afoot to change this a little by the end of March. By feck, so dam grown up of me, in the past the toys would be out of the pram and change would be well under way already.

One of the places you can become a Physiotherapist in Ireland is the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) incorporating its Schools of Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy and Nursing. For over two hundred years, the College has played a role in Irish surgical and medical education and although the beautiful original building has stood unchanged on the corner of St Stephen’s Green, since the College’s inception in 1784 its historic façade belies the RCSI’s progressive and innovative activities.

It has felt like the country has been shut down for the last week or even more. We had, in Dublin, a few cm of snow – though it did get fairly cold – freezing in fact, so cold that my washing machine stopped and we ended up spending most our Saturday at a laundrette – took me back to living in bedsit land – Rathmines.
Anyway all is back and running again. I took the last four days off work – best thing I have done for some time. I had decided to run a training course at the start of January and I had under estimated how much time it would take for me to prepare everything for it.
That happened last week, though it feels like it was longer ago. The course went well on the day and since then I have been getting some feedback by way of emails and now by way of Survey Monkey – a great little program for surveys as the name indicates.
Almost all of the feedback was at the highest level for all the question I asked, however there was one area where it was middling to low and that was on the venue – this I though might be a problem and I have already been looking at other options – Bewleys for instance have a great offer in Ballsbridge – that might be the way forward if they will include parking for everyone in the price.
Anyway this was just a short rest getting my head away from work for 30 minutes – yes I type kinda slow – currently working on PJ Boner an Instrumentation company in Dublin – the things that I get to earn about.
I hope the snow stays away – we have a life to get on with and being snowed inhere is not so great – I would rather it happened while in Prague on holiday…
