Four things I have done in the past week:

• Caught, and mostly recovered from, a stomach bug. Really, not pretty. I had two days off work, and probably should have taken more time off. On the plus side, I'm looking a bit thinner now!

• Had a visit from my parents. Unfortunately I was sick most of the time they were here, so we didn't catch up as much as we were hoping, but I really enjoyed seeing them. They were here for a week, and we managed to squeeze in some shopping and a few dinners. My uncle, cousin and aunt were also over from the mainland, so it was a big family catch-up.

• Watched Sense and Sensibility for the first time. And enjoyed it. Quite a nice way to spend a Friday night when you're stomach is still a little too fragile for drinking.

• Paid late fees on a library book. I'm horrified that it is taking me more than a fortnight to read a  book at the moment. I must get myself back into the reading habit.

Hopefully next week will be a little more exciting. We have a 4 day weekend due to the 12th of July. We originally had plans to head to the Galway for the weekend with one of our flatmates, but she decided at the last minute that she didn't want to go and, as she was going to drive there, we had no other way of getting there. Might head to Dundalk for a night or two with our other flattie and see where she grew up.
