Week 19 2013

This week’s bit of fun:

------------------------------------------------

I’m over in Ireland this weekend for my granddaughters Holy Communion. The Saturday started with Conor my grandson and I walking the dog. This took two hours and involved us having breakfast. That kept both of us out of the house while preparations for the afternoon took place. The ceremony and gathering for lunch went well with about 40 friends and family turning up at the house.

Later we went bowling before going out for a meal.

I am enjoying the weekend here with Colin, Sandra, Conor and Holly. It’s Sunday morning and I’m sure Holly will get me to play jenga again.
