Real World

I drove back home this morning after dropping my daughter to school and going to Tesco, the baby asleep in the car beside me. The sun was shining, it was incredibly still, the oak tree at the bottom of our lane wasn't moving, the sun on it made everything look like Legoland.

You could almost pretend that Global Warming wasn't an issue that would ever affect us, or that the colourful bouquets laid under the trees of the estate on my road, were not for a 16 year old girl who hanged herself.

Then I got a text from a friend whose baby is a little younger than mine saying her husband has just been found to have brain tumour. I'm feeling luckier, yet more vulnerable than usual this morning.

Sunshine State!

Just dropped by to let the Dubs know (hopefully this isn't in bad taste and your house hasn't been involved in the Stillorgan floods) that the sun has been splitting the stones in Wexford and I have a tan that would rival an umpa lumpa after 6 months in the desert! Seriously, we have been hitting the beach hard! Thank God for the sunny South East and it's own micro climate seperate from the rest of the world!

Oh so many posts to catch up on! If only I didn't need to sleep.....
