My yearly post :)

Back with my yearly post.Language learning has taken a backburner recently as I waste more time on Facebook and Twitter :) I read Romanian a little a few times a week and Portuguese maybe once or twice a week.Need to concentrate and improve my skills in those languages.

Still pondering where to go for holidays..in the end may end up by the pool in Madrid.Not so bad..but un cambio de aires would be ideal especially in somewhere green and cool perhaps the Basque Country or Galicia.

Tomorrow is the return to work for the Spanish

Many Spanish will return to the office tomorrow after their traditional Summer holidays this year will be different however as many worry about their jobs and/or what they are earning! Recession has arrived for many of them...Let´s see how it goes in the next few months!

Ar ais aríst tar éis an sheal gan scríobh rud ar bith

Cad é an Ghaeilge ar ''blog''??

Bail o dhia ort a chairde o timpeall na cruinne!

Ta mé ag scriobh an alt seo as Ghaeilge mar ta sé rud difriúil a dhéanamh-as an gnáth liom atá sé!

Cén fath a raibh gráin ag formhór de na óige ar ár teanga dúchasach?? cé go raibh suim an mhór ag alán stráinséiri air? sin rud an aisteach!

Slán amárach a chairde!

blue skies

Blue skies here now! strange as I went to work this morning there was torrential flood like rain! the same pattern yesterday-wet morning and sunny afternoon and evening...Is Dublin getting tropical weather?..anyway the schizo weather is doing my head in..as are some others!! Qu'ils me prennent la tete sans repos! ai!ai!ai! am trebuie de vacantii! soare si peisajii frumoasii!

Weekend in Wexford

Spent the weekend in Wexford,what a relief to get out of the Dirty Old Town, perhaps I should use the acronym DOT from now on when talking of Doubbalin, anyway we had some some sun and a whole load of cloud down there but at least it wasn't DOT..I have included here some photos of the Saving Private Ryan beach or Curracloe to natives..It felt so relaxing not to hear the accents of Dublin 1 in the air (poisonous noise to the ear)...met up with a friend of Eamonn's-interesting to hear of his year's experience in the quintessial Yank state California...didn't sound such a bad place..San Francisco in the north at least...observed the way the planning laws work in my home town as well-lesson 1 for developers do not piss off the council for you shall have revenge in the end...the guy got part of his pub knocked down for 'structural reasons', he just happened to have built a hotel which contrevened planning laws elsewhere in the town...justice at last,yes!...the road between Wexford and the civilsation of DOT has knocked 20 mins off the journey time, even with Bus Eireann!!-a revelation!...
