Happy Things
This time next week I will be on the plane en route to Marseille and back to life in Le Petit Village. I’m missing The Husband and Fifty. Ten days without my furry little angel cuddling up to me and The Husband’s huffing and puffing has left me feeling a bit vacant. To combat that…

Forgive and Forget
Check out this sign outside an electronics store in Dublin… Hmm… Looks like the Irish are still a tad pissed about that whole Thierry Henry handball thing (click here). Grudge? Who, us? No! bisou

A Little Run Down
I’m tired, dehydrated, my wallet is weeping and my liver is crying. Much too tired to type anything even remotely witty, but I’m going to give it a go anyway with a little run down of what I’ve been up to. Sunday was spent as planned except the wine bar was switched for the local…

It's A Wonderful Sunday
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… The Skippie Team (The Boyfriend, Fifty, and me) woke up to a snowy Sunday morning in Le Petit Village. Monsieur Snowman blessed us with a full five centimeters. Not a huge amount, but after living in Dublin for six years (plenty of rain, no snow) and Texas…

The Cherry On Top Of My Lazy Sundae
Yesterday Le Petit Village woke up to a gloomy and wet morning. Rain and gloominess is such a rarity here that I decided to celebrate it with a little holiday. An ‘I’m going to sit on the couch and do nothing’ kind of holiday. Couldn’t go anywhere anyway, I left all my umbrellas in Dublin…

Baby Steps
It has now been five and a half weeks since I’ve moved to Le Petit Village. Forty days to be exact. And as of today, exactly two months since my last day of work. But whose counting? And in this five and half weeks, forty days, and two months since leaving the desk I was…
