Can blog, so must!

Home for a while this evening. I miss having Internet Access in the new house.... :( No major news, other than the moving in on Friday. Only took 30 mins to get to work this morning, excellent.

Weekend activities included some house-related shopping, seeing Martha's brother off to foreign-land, attending a barbecue in Dublin (thanks Jon), installing a curtain pole, attending a steam rally in Stradbally.

Actually, the steam rally was fantastic. Anyone who has or is a big kid should go to a good 1one. Big shiny steam engines, small shiny steam engines, old tractors, cars and motorbikes all huffing and puffing and being shiny and gorgeous - looking. Brilliant. Oh if only I had the time, money and space for one.......

They had an old thrashing machine there and a baler too, working all afternoon. Anyone driving a steam engine who might have started off clean was seriously filthy after they'd been running for an hour or so! And there was a falconry display which was quite impressive too. Heartily recommended!!

Anyone with any tips for tiling around an electric shower should comment below. Thanks!
