Manic Monday

Well it’s been a while since I have done a ‘proper’ blog. So I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.

The photo above was taken at the Science Fair which is held at the Sligo IT every year. There are all sorts of things to do and it’s a great day out.
This year as well as all the experiments there was a mobile planetarium, sea creatures from Exploris, RLNI and Eagles Flying. Alaska above is a female bald eagle. She is ten years old and is one of the many birds that can be seen in the flying display at Eagles Flying. If you are anywhere near Ballymote go and visit it’s a great place.

I was a bit surprised to see this fella at the science fair:

So it seems that Elvis isn’t dead after all! Jono thought it was actually Elvis and was going to ask for his autograph!

Lucy hasn’t been too well over the last week. She seems to pick up every bug going so I took her to the doctors today and she has a throat infection. She’s going back for a blood test tomorrow and is on anti biotics now.
While we were in the doctors the child from hell was sitting beside me…..typical I seem to be a magnet for them!
He wouldn’t sit still and was almost on top of me. Then he started pulling at the leaflets that were above our heads one of them landed on me. I suppose it’s just lucky it was only a leaflet and not the shelf that they were on.

Still no news about Jono’s operation. There was an article in the newspaper last Monday. I didn’t scan it in because it doesn’t say anything new. Just that we had a date and it got cancelled.

We were having dinner this evening and listening to the Heart radio station (Chiltern radio) on the internet radio and I was gobsmacked to hear them play ‘Step into Christmas’ by Elton John…..it’s the 16th of November!!!
