As suspected, without anything to procrastinate the blog wilted and withered. But now the Easter of this blog has come and with college starting back on Monday I'm dusting it off and getting back into the swing of things. After a summer filled with laughter and optimism I feel it's time to get back to what's integral to our national identity. Begrudgery. And despair. I've seen new sights, smelled new smells and I'm back home ready to face what's sure to be a most painful year. I cannot wait!
I come back to you all now with fresh eyes and a little more travel under my belt. A weekend break in Barcelona for my mammy and sister's birthdays, swiftly followed by 3 weeks taking in different parts of California mixed with a job and home improvements has left me a little out of breath. It feels like just yesterday I was sitting in the flat in Oviedo waiting for summer to hit. I blinked and practically missed it. I think that's a sign of a successful summer?
I managed to scrape lots more family history into a day trip to the grandparents in Dublin so stay tuned. They are married 60 years this year so that's sure to be a sappy post about true love. In other news, the chocolate addiction continues. I continue to eat my emotions. Luckily the yuppy new puppy, Shadow, a little black lab/terrier cross takes me for a run most days. He's so happy to be alive and just loves affection. Kinda like me these days. I'm changing lots these days. Still as confused as ever but just a little happier to let whatever happens happen. Progress.
