Monday update...

I’m supposedly ‘in training’ for the Ballycotten 10mile run on March 5th. I’ve been doing some running, but unfortunately I have a meeting in Dublin the next day – not sure if it’s a bit much driving from Monaghan to Cork, attempting a 10mile race, driving back and then to Dublin the next day, being fresh/alert and awake at the meeting! Might all be a little too much..

Old age setting in, thought Monaghan were playing Tyrone in the Dr. McKenna Cup final last weekend, but that’s not happening until this coming weekend! Inniskeen, a Monaghan club, were playing yesterday however, division B club championship and won so that was good!

Otherwise, phd work coming along, mind is full of Action Research info, research methods, methodologies and paradigms!

Stardust..

The awful tragedy that happened in 1981 is incontestable, and horrific to think of the suffering and pain so many families and neighbours went through.

However, its also very sad to think that this could happen again if tighter building controls, fire regulations and monitoring of same aren’t enforced.

Dogs.. + Valentine...

Right - as you can see, yesterday wasn't very productive work-wise, a little distracted.. Lets hope today is better...
But first of all - just thought i'd share the photo below of the dogs - Ben (the GS) and Mickey (the Pomm, and before you ask, he was 2 when we got him, so would have been unfair to re-christen him!).
I'm sure they'll be delighted to have their photo on the web! ;)

And Happy Valentine's Day to all! ;)

Joke of the day...

I was sent this joke via txt yesterday... not sure how i should interpret it! ;)

"A recent in-depth study has shown that the bird flu virus hits old birds first. So I though i'd better warm you immediately!"

DUP and the GAA??

DUP calls for prosecutions in GAA on-pitch violenceThe DUP is criticising the GAA for not asking police to prosecute players involved in on-pitch violence during a National Football League match between Dublin and Tyrone a week ago.
Ian Paisley Junior said that the association should have invited detectives to bring charges over fighting at a game in Omagh.
The DUP Justice spokesperson said that video footage of the mass brawls that saw four players sent off should be given to the PSNI as evidence for prosecutions.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Just came across this and hadn't tried it out till this morning.. Wonder what is actually signifies..

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
