Pink Eye

Well blow me over, for the first time in my life I have had "Pink Eye" or "Viral Conjunctivitis" as it is commonly known.  Wow, I have suffered from other forms of conjunctivitis before but not this one.   I woke up Monday morning with a Migraine and slept if off, when I woke my right eye was RED and watery, by Tuesday I could barely open it and the pain was excruciating.

I worked from home this week as the pain was just too much and apparently this is very contagious - eventually on Thursday morning the red had turned to pink and by today 5 days later, it was almost clear!  I decided to do a bit of research and this is what I found:

A very informative analysis which you can read here - http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/conjunctivitis.htm

Robbie Williams | 'Come Undone' | Take The Crown Stadium Tour 2013 - Dublin

Robbie ...

It was 10 years ago that my friend Gwen was over and we saw Robbie Williams at Phoenix Park, this time it was a bit more civilized with seating in what I can only say were among the best seats in the Stadium.

As with the concert 10 years ago, Robbie mad a spectacular entrance, the rain did nothing to dampen the spirit of the spectators and it was virtually a full house, 55000 - he was hoisted up out of the face on the wall as high as the top of the Aviva Stadium and then zip-lined down to the stage with fire billowing out of the top of the Stadium.

I was worried he would only play his new hits, but not so the wonderful old hit were there too ... Me and my monkey and Angels, which the whole stadium sang along to.

What an awesome Show!!!  Thank you Robbie and Olly.  I will see you again hopefully not in another 10 years time.

Britta's Bay - Summer in Ireland 2013

I just wanted to add some photos I took at Brittas Bay on Sunday, we had a week-end of Beach and it was awesome!  I never knew the sky could be so Blue ... Audrey phoned on Saturday evening and made the suggestion, at one stage while waiting in the 2 km tail back we almost gave up going, but luckily we pursued - Audrey brought a BBQ and we had burgers and sausages and I had the bottle of Frozen Margarita that really went down a treat.

I have never in all my life seen so many people on a beach, but we have all been starved of a summer for so many years that we all made the most of it, while it lasts - Long live summer ....

The BIG 10th Birthday Party and Sleepover ...

I don't seem to have time to Blog anymore so I am going to upload the photos for now!
