hello all just thought that I'd have a random ramble (turn back now!!!) and kinda fill you in on whats going on in my life.

my summer is going well. the weather isn't exactly ideal but i don't mind. infact we had such a downpour of rain on tuesday but i found it rather comforting... i was in the middle of thunder lightning and sheets of rain while at camogie training (has anyone heard of the Irish sport hurling?? camogie=girl version)and although soaked to the skin i felt really refreshed!! and then things got scary when we got home-the rain had pelted so hard that our road surface had been ripped clean off!! now we live on a mountain, and our road is hilly, windy, turny, with grass in the middle and has seen its fair share of rain induced potholes but never have i seen anything like this!! the tarmac was buckled and rucked like as if there had been an earth quake, and pieces of the road had floated away so that they now reside in the ditch-rather dramatic weather for july! but does anyone just love that feeling of feling safe and warm at home after facing the harsh elements? i guess it made me feel poetic...
anywho i'm going to the west for my holidays this year (all trips abroad have been cancelled pending the end of this thing called the recession! ) so i hope weather conditions improve somewhat! and i'm without internet for a week!!! so i prob won't get a chance to wish Roger-HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY!!! (which i think is the 26th??) roger, unfortunately i have no artwork done for you but i will try my best to do it soon, my love!
right not quite sure what i've just written sounds like, nor am i bothered reading back over it so if you have come this far thanks for listening to nothing...
how are all your summers going?
