Am trying to sort things –and myself- out. One of the stuff on the “what to do list” was this blog. Have neglected it for too long. Sincere apologies.
Am lying in bed, Tom Dunnes on Today FM, live from Whelan’s with Gabriela y Rodrigo. They sound ‘fecking’ crazy. Going to their show in Cork at the end of next month. Can’t wait. Is one of the three gigs I’m looking forward to; Josh Ritter on 11th March and The Human League on 18th. All three in great company.
Back since a week from a short visit home. Ready for the next phase of my Ireland adventure. ‘Cause I’m not an EVS volunteer any longer. My project ended nearly 3 weeks ago, the new volunteer, a girl from Spain has already taken over my office. And me, I’m still unemployed, looking for a job in Cork. Because I’m definitely hanging around here for another while.
Don’t really know where to start my update, a lot happened since Christmas. New Year’s Eve was a good night, with an even better sequel. Don’t want to sound too corny, but am happier than ever. He (tall, Irish, doesn’t drink milk ;-) ) took me away for my birthday. To a nice hotel in Baltimore, West-Cork. For the weekend. Never been spoiled so much as this year. Have seen more of West-Cork in the last few weeks than in the whole year before. A new beach every weekend. Love his cooking. His company. Couldn’t imagine a better start of the 2006!
My visit back home went very well, although it takes every time more to get used to Belgian live again. Got to know my godchild a bit better. Cached up with my youngest sister, who perfectly timed it to get ill while I was home. She didn’t had to go to school so and we spend time together playing board games; watching DVD’s. I even read her Harry Potter. Was busy organising administrative stuff during the day. Only went out once, the Friday. In Antwerp. With two friends. Was good. Different from Irish nightlife though. But good.
Was back home in Cork soon enough. Didn’t take me more than an hour to get used to it again. Last weeks’ weather was horrible, but great now: at least ten degrees, blue sky, sun. Spring. Birds whistling in the morning, in the evening. Can’t wait for the summer to arrive.
