The summer is most definitely here now that the Irish college students have arrived... Yes folks, 15 teenagers living under our roof for 9 solid weeks - phew! It's great fun though, a real holiday feel about the place. We spent all last week getting ready for them and were helped enormously by D's parents who were down for a few days - they fixed bunks, helped cut the grass, clean and iron the sheets and much much more. And of course we drank a few pints - and still managed to run a little and cycle a little! But you do lose a bit of the zip after a few days of drinking - no matter how much you try to keep your toe in the training regime! This evening I went out for a five miler and it was tough for the first three, but then got a bit better...
Great news on a personal front - D and I are expecting! We were in for a scan this morning - all is well!
First of all, it's great to hear that you and your wife are expecting. Second, I am glad that everything is going well!
ReplyDeleteOn the political front, voters in the Republic of Ireland have shown that they are ready for the economic challenge.
Hey Breandán, congratulations to you and your good wife on the great news of a forthcoming addition to the family. I'm pleased for you both. Wooohooo!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing news!!! Well done. Oh, I'm so excited for you both and for your extended families. Terrific news. Thanks for sharing. And good luck with your young visitors, I'm sure they'll always keep very fond memories of their time spent with you over the coming weeks.
