Well a really busy day today what with one thing or another. I heard the Rick O’Shea 2fm radio show was coming to Sligo and we are big fans and I ‘tweet’ them on a regular basis so we had to go in and meet them
As you can see I was starstruck (as usual) Rick and Cormac are really nice guys. I sponsored Rick for the RTE 2fm ‘Dress-up for Barnardos ‘, which you can find here.
On the way home there was a little dog running all over the road. We stopped the car and tried to catch him but he was so fast and running all over the place. It was horrific the amount of cars that just didn’t slow down though In the end he ran towards a church so I’m really hoping he went home. Poor thing.
Tesco in Sligo already have Christmas stock on display….and there isn’t a sign of Halloween yet Is it just me that thinks September is way too early to be selling selection boxes?
Then to add insult to injury on the next shelf are Easter bunnies…..Tesco have gone mad!
Today was a big day for Sligo as Lidl re-opened with its new bakery up and running. There were loads of goodies to try and some great bargains in half price fruit and veg too. The place was packed.
I even saw a walking croissant and it was a nice change to have music playing in the store as it’s usually so quiet in there.
Onto other news Rick O’Shea was on twitter today talking about Britney Spears looking for a backing dancer for her tour date in Dublin….I tweeted him saying that would be right up my street, I could show old Britney a thing or two…actually I’d probably land on her and knock her off the stage! Anyway I got mentioned on his show and I’ve had a few people saying they heard it…..mortified!
well it has in our house…Supervalu have a special offer on where if you buy one Easter egg on its own its 3.79…but if you buy three together you get all three for 3.50….no I don’t get it either, but for the sake of research purposes and to check the quality of the eggs I felt I had to buy three…..also I quite like dipping chocolate in my tea…so I’m a happy bunny
I had a lovely morning this morning, went to visit Karen my flickr friend, got a bit lost on the way because for some strange reason the council don’t find it neccessary to name roads…but I got there in the end. It was nice to have a chat as ‘Val’ and not mum, daughter or anything else.
I was very pleased yesterday because Rick O’Shea answered me on twitter…he’s a dj on 2fm…and then he played The Feeling so that made my day. Talking of The Feeling, here’s a video I took in November when I went to see them in Castlebar….and thats not me screaming like a girl
I spoke to my mum today who said the hospital wanted dad in for dialysis again today, he was only in yesterday…but he has fluid on his lungs and around his heart and they feel extra dialysis might help…but the poor old fella didn’t want to go. So now they are talking about putting him on the machine for six hours instead of four tomorrow…its no life really and dad is not dad anymore. He’s been on dialysis for 6 years now and can’t even walk now, he hardly talks either. Its horrible to see someone suffer. Its a crazy world where they put animals out of their suffering but won’t do the same for people.
Gosh this is a depressing blog
On another note we have been trying the Walkers crisps new flavours….yuck. So far we have tried Fish and chips, builders breakfast and chilli and chocolate. They’ve all ended up in the bin and I am quickly going off crisps which is a good thing
