Behind the Photos X
For today’s Behind the Photos (it’s been ages since I’ve done one of these) I thought we’d travel back in time for a special Christmas edition. We’re going all the way back to 2008, a time when I had blondish hair and bangs. The setting Dublin, all of twenty-seven days after I met Gregory, when…

Behind the Photos VIII
Two of the best things about being an expat are going home (it’s not that we dislike our new home or anything, it’s just that when we go ‘home’, we really, really appreciate it) and having friends come to visit. This edition of Behind the Photos features both. I visited my family in Dublin in May,…

Behind the Photos IV
It’s feels bizarre to be looking at all of these wintry photos while it’s still hot as Hades outside. I’m at that point where I’m growing tired of summer (mainly my summer wardrobe) but at the same time know I will be sad to see it go. So for now, I’m going to soak up…

things I learned on holiday
AYE A FUCKENMUCKENNUCKEN! This is the new word I learned while I was in Dublin. It’s the noise/ sound/ word that popped out of my mother as she plunged her hand into a sink of boiling water (It should be noted that she hadn’t intended on plunging her hand into a sink full of boiling…

How Come I Didn't Get One?
A Hello Kitty skateboard has to be one of the coolest presents for six and eight year old girls to unwrap on Christmas. I mean, if I got a Hello Kitty skateboard I know I’d be pretty stoked. And I’m thinking my 75 year old uncle really wanted one too because he took the…

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…

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…
