short update

Nearly three weeks since I last updated my website. A lot happened ….There was the “mid-way-training” in Dublin, a weekend in Glendalough and two Belgian friends coming over for a visit. Brought them to Kinsale, they saw a little bit of Cork and they heard John Spillane in the Spiegeltent.

I had my first Irish Breakfast ever and also tried Fish and Chips for the first time. Next culinary adventour will be Irish stew in Ireland. Only had it in Irish Pubs in Belgium so far.

It’s back to normal since this week. Hard to get used to it, but I manage. Writing a text for the Cork County Council Website on “Saving Energy”. Nearly finished it. Next thing is finishing a thing for schoolkids on “Renewable Energy”.

Bill is in Geneva for the week, so I drive with Pat to and from Mallow every day now. Means starting at eight and finishing at six. Will save the extra hours and take an extra day of one of next weeks. Life is hard, isn’t it?

So far for now. Hope to hear or see you all soon….

Pictures

If you follow this link, you should be able to see the pictures of a friend of mine. She took them during our first training in Dublin about two months ago. On the pictures all EVS volunteers who arrived in februari. Was a great week. Next week more of that, another training in Dublin.

Morning Call

Overslept this morning. Didn’t even went too bed late yesterday. Just forgat to switch on my alarm clock. Normally there is the Norwegian housemate, waking me up by making his “morning noises” (trust me, you don’t want any more details here), but he had a day off today. So my mobile phone rang at 8.46h.

-Bill: ”Where are you Saskia?”
-Me: “Euh…in my bed…think I overslept.”

Well, after all, we’re even now, as Bill made me wait more than an hour last Friday, because he too overslept.

Ps: Ireland won (0-2) yesterday against a very poor playing Faroe Islands. ‘t Was only Laura and me watching the game. The three boys were sitting in the kitchen, chatting away like three old housewives. Definitely not Irish, those three ones. Sad thing it is indeed.
