I enjoyed my time working up in Tipperary, they are a good bunch of people up there.  It's a wonderful feeling to teach someone something and see their face light up with understanding.  That happened to me a few time over the few days.  I suppose I should mention that I was teaching people how to navigate on mountains using a map and compass.  It ( Read more... )

I'm at home in Cork at the moment.  I had my bus driver theory test this afternoon.  I passed.  It wouldn't have been too good if i'd not passed, but i've no worries now, it's a relief to have that behind me ( Read more... )

Life is moving too quickly.  It's all running passed me and i'm not getting a chance to stop and see the view.  It saddens me somewhat.  I like watching life move by ( Read more... )

My life since Christmas seems like a blur of acitvity.  I feel like i haven't have a mins rest, that's an exaggeration but i'm sure you'll understand.  I was in Scotland last week, it was amzing and scary and exhausting.  I did love it ( Read more... )

It was my birthday yesterday.  It didn't really feel like it, I think i was a little stressed.  I did manage to finally buy boots.  I was beginning to panic, the choice in this country is awful.  There are one pair of boots and it seems that every shop in the country has the same pair; and they didn't fit my feet, until yesterday afternoon.  This ( Read more... )

I know i keep saying this but the course is so much fun.  It's the best thing in the world being able to kayak and climbing all week and get paid to do it.  This week was nothing amazingly different.  We went for a bit of a paddle around the harbour in Valentia and learned some new skills.  I had my new boat, it's so lovely.  We were learning to ( Read more... )

Climbing has been so much fun.  I've learned so much, i'm amazed.  We've practiced setting up anchors today.  I was a little confused with my first one, but my second one went so much better.  It all made sense in my head.  Ann is a brilliant teacher.  She has this way of explaining things that makes me understand them instantly.  No one ever ( Read more... )

I'm not really in all that much pain, I just liked the title and though it was a little fitting.  When on earth did I last update.  I don't know what i've told you and what i've left out.  I'll start with my weekend, hows that ( Read more... )

I'm settling into Kerry fairly well.  I think my major problem of the week has been where i'm staying.  The house is so dirty, my whole body is just itching to go cleaning... Liam keeps distracting me however with other things for me to do.  I don't think he wants me to clean his house.  I wouldn't mind and then i'd actually feel motivated to cook ( Read more... )

I can't remember when I last updated, so much has happened since then that it doesn't matter either way ( Read more... )
