I feel bad. I'm aware that recent posts are of a "been there done that" variety. And my Mom is visiting, which is lovely but unfortunately I don't have any time off work so my nights are jam-packed catching up with her, drinking wine, eating food, visiting pubs and family . . .
I'll try to get something interesting down next week. I have some food posts waiting to be written, and, while I haven't been doing anything exciting, I have been rather introspective, so possibly some insights into my soul will be on their way. You have been warned.
But for now its lovely hanging out with Mom - someone to make me cups of tea and gin & tonics. Although she has yet to change any money, so I've been paying for lunch and dinner - I'm sure its not supposed to be this way! Heading out now to catch up with some old family friends - so old I don't know them. Greg was best man at Mom and Dad's wedding - long before my time - so hopefully I will get to hear amusing stories of what my folks got up to in their younger days. But for now I will leave you with the lovely image that I had the other night: walking through the centre of Belfast, I come across a man peeing against a wall. He's wearing a very nice suit. And its 5 pm. I had to laugh.
