Football and movies..

Ok, yesterday’s Dublin Meath match was a ridiculous game of football.. the fighting during the game was just appalling .. its fine the team rivalry, but when every player expect for one of the goalie’s get involved in a bust-up – is disgraceful! Everyone should have been red-carded!!
Monaghan played badly yesterday against Westmeath and so missed out on their chances of promotion to Division One.
Well done to Tipperary in winning the Hurling final .. it was great to see Tipperary and Galway play .. two teams who weren’t so prominent last year.. Its great too that both Canning brothers are playing with the county team.. But does yesterday’s loss dampen Galway’s chances of a double??? (we are referring at all times to "the double" being football and hurling senior titles - aren't we?)

Last night I watched the movie ‘Wedding Date’ .. did anyone else watch it? At times attending a wedding alone is the most nauseating and awkward experience.. but would one ever hire an escort for the day? Do people do this?
Movie-wise it was a cute romantic comedy ;) .. easy watching on a Sunday evening..

Surf's up!

A surfing weekend is being planned and organised for May 17th and 18th in Bundoran, Co. Donegal. 2 nights b+b, 2 lessons and gear for 110euro!

If you are interested drop me a mail .. the more the merrier!! ;)

Second eye complete..

Well second eye complete and i can see!
Not sure if people want to know the exact process – but in really simple/brief form - the eye is given a local anaesthetic (via drops) – so your eye is complete numb.. the front layer of the eye is removed and the eye is then lasered/japped (and yes you can smell the burning briefly)..
I didn’t find the whole experience that painful, not at all what I expected. One feels out of sorts that evening, but the next day the sight is improving..
I was back the following morning for a check-up and again two days later. I’m really happy with the surgeon I went to – I think that is really important..
Got loads of drops now to put in for the next few weeks but all in all – would recommend it .. its great being able to watch tv, drive etc. without glasses! ;)
