Birthdays and Wedding Days

Today is my birthday! It is raining and I am happy. Just over the hill is the fish restaurant where we got married. We are going there for lunch, just Lauren and me. The lads who run it are great pals.

The day of the wedding there were forty five of us. I put the tables in a square round the outside of the room with just room for us all to sit with our backs to the wall. That way we could all see each other. This is important at my parties as anybody is entitled to stand up and speak their mind or sing a song when the spirit moves them. Most people said something wonderful. Kevin Dunne had a priest’s collar which he wore whenever he felt a blessing coming on… Barra O’Tuama sang endlessly (one song) and Pat Scott was seen scurrying under the table as a short cut…

There was an opening in the square of table to allow the waiters free access to serve from in front of us which was great. In the centre of the square was the kid’s table so they could see everything and escape under the waiters’ feet to do their thing.

Food started at one o’clock and finished around five thirty. Course after course after course: twelve or fifteen of them.

Tomorrow I’ll tell you a bit more about the wedding. Now to the restaurant for lunch!

Blogging and life in Hell

Blogging ain’t easy you know, as I like to offer a worthwhile gift.

I had an amazing dream last night and I woke up and continued the line of thought. It was like earth shattering and I want to share it with you but I can’t remember a thing! Next time I’ll get up and write it down – it seemed so magical that had I written it down it might have vanished before morning.

I live a blessed life and a lot of the time I experience it as hell. I must remember to switch to the heaven channel cos I know that’s where I am. I just seem to like a little torture and it’s said that we humans are smart! I bet a rat or a mosquito wouldn’t be so foolish as me.

Slainte.
