Out with a shower of savages

I’ve spent the last week back in Ireland.

It was quite a busy week as I wanted to make sure I saw as much of the family as possible (i.e. the uncles, aunts and cousins who live in county Kerry as well as my parents) and thankfully managed to get to see everyone.

Weather turned out to be better than the UK, so made the most of the sunshine and did a but of travelling as well.

Main highlights:

- Watching the Kerry vs Cork match in a pub for the Munster Football Final, even though Kerry lost to the red bastards.
- A day out to see Daniel O’Connell’s house
- Finally getting out for a meal to a very good Italian restaurant in Killarney (had to cancel last time we were over as Lisa and myself were both full of colds)
- Restocking on Irish whiskey
- Drinking lots of stout

Back now though, so back to the gym to make up for a week or self-abuse

In other news, my PC at home is a bit screwed and  think I’ll need to splash out on a new hard drive as it’s making horrible noises and my applications are all crashing. Thankfully I had the foresight to have a second drive for all my iTunes and other media so they are safe. Just need a new primary drive for the O/S

I have also found the wonder that is http://www.bagster.com/en/ that sells tank bags for my ZX10 (or the ZX10 Tomcat as the Yanks named it) . I’d been after one of these for ages as they look pretty cool on a bike and would do wonders for mine as my tank is painted by myself, so you can guess the quality of it.. Need to find out how much it is.

It’s Lisa’s bday on Monday so off for a meal at Tonic in Notts.

Anyway, I think that’s pretty much it.
