And we’re back…. 

Back from the summer holidays, back from Brussels, back to school for the kids, back to college for me & the husband. 

The return from my annual trip to Brussels heralds the end of the summer and the start of the new school year. I had great plans for the summer – projects to complete, blogs to write, home improvements to get cracking on. I did none of it. Instead, I had a staycation in Ringsend, a couple of camping trips in our new tent and a quick trip to Utrecht. I went to lots of gigs, played a couple of gigs and saw a couple of musicals.  

Some of my friends are back too. Around Covid times, almost all of my besties moved away to far flung parts, but during this summer some of them came back – from UAE, Chili, New York. I’m so happy to have them back around. I also reconnected with an old, old friend and it’s great to have her back in my life too.  

And now it’s back to the grindstone. I’ve had a slight change in direction in my college course (Immersive Media Production, how are ya) and so exciting times ahead as we settle into our new routines and new adventures with new and old friends.  

It’s great to be back.

    The pressure is on! My first year of being a mature student is coming to an end and it’s time to get all those assignments finished and submitted. I’m swinging wildly between “Ah sure its grand, I’ve plenty of time”, to lying awake in bed panicking and scratching my newly erupted stress hives. I’m also…

  • And we’re done…

    The last assignment has been submitted and so, just like that, year one is done.   It’s been a tough year, learning how to balance the dramas of family life with my precarious health, full-time college, keeping the house up and running and the family fed, but it’s been great too. I’ve had so much…

  • I’m on a break

    I had great plans for a month to myself between finishing college and the first of the kids finishing up school for the summer. However, as soon as I handed in that last assignment, all the stuff I’ve been putting off all year came home to roost, and I have been running around like a…
