Change for all of us is going to be so much better but not the much flaunted 'change' bandied about by the pols and media!<br />@Nick:<br />good luck with the bookshelves, the most important feature of any house and change is everywhere. All good.<br />@GM:<br />You were the one regrettable exception on my plans of meet-ups, next time I hope, tho I'll prob be in Cork.<br />@Irene:<br />Thanks so much for the warm welcome back!<br />@Gaye:<br />As said before, the change is good, old values are settling around those more 'awake'. I love the sound of your new project and can't wait for progress reports!<br />@T:<br />Dreck, what dreck? You write marvellously of things beyond my ken, my dear!<br />@Jo:<br />To make it even more admirable *cough* I did it in a sizzling heatwave!<br />@Hull:<br />Oh I do hope you come back, but can understand your desire for more f2f. You are such a light in clogland and I want some more kilty firemen!<br />@20:<br />I think family time can be more meaningful when we're not around it all the time, it is far more appreciated when times are infrequent!<br />@Conor:<br />Thanks kind sir, it was a steamy ol' day but over 40,000 women made it - and some men in wayout drag!!<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-40917132660720067392009-06-19T10:51:19.743-02:302009-06-19T10:51:19.743-02:30Great to have you back - so glad you had a good ti...Great to have you back - so glad you had a good time - oh and well done on the marathon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-27103436185620954212009-06-18T13:12:54.985-02:302009-06-18T13:12:54.985-02:30Glad to have you back on the web, wise one.

I visited Dublin many years ago, and I enjoyed it, but it didn't have the kind of meaning that it must have had to you with all those people you love there, too.20th Century Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432147267959308192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-44721714223482148222009-06-18T07:12:06.756-02:302009-06-18T07:12:06.756-02:30Hi honey blog bud, missed you too.

I have been exploring more face to face friendships whilst on my blogging holiday.<br /><br />I have been feeling really low and have designed my own daily short random running and stepper programme at the gym. It works, makes me sweat, gives me a lift and a structure and bolsters me for the rest of the day.<br /><br />Bobo and I are taking the boys to meet his family in Guildford in a fortnight, then on for a wee family at the seaside in Brighton. I need a holiday, i soooo need a holiday.<br /><br />Today, I am making a habit of reaching out to others, telling them that I am feeling low and getting together more. I am realising how loved I am, which is a marvellous boost.<br /><br />I will be back and blogging soon. Take care and enjoy your hols.<br /><br />hulla <br />xxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-80155196976548179762009-06-18T05:32:46.407-02:302009-06-18T05:32:46.407-02:30Heya!

It is also equally wonderful to hear your impressions on Dublin. A year and a half ago this was different, at least we thought it was. I have a house and a car and a .... was what was in people's minds and eyes, a bit more greed a bit more materialistic competition. Nothing better than a slice of humble pie I guess, not that I am mean or anything. Sometimes people do forget where they come from when money is more than abundant.<br />To answer your question, while you were away I got busy working on an exciting project. ;)<br />Welcome back and<br />Hugs<br />GxGayƩ Terziogluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429669176156091603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-879300950174755172009-06-17T19:11:48.331-02:302009-06-17T19:11:48.331-02:30It's great to have you back, you've been m...It's great to have you back, you've been missed very much. It's good to hear about Dublin and maybe the people there are catching on quicker to how to deal with the economic crisis than the people here. It seems that here everybody just carries on as usual, or maybe we were already ahead of the game in some areas. I don't know. Money is still being spent as if there is no end to it. I suppose we're still well off for the most part. <br /><br />Anyway, welcome back, dear. It's very good to see you here again. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />IreneIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-20257776997813892932009-06-17T17:46:15.273-02:302009-06-17T17:46:15.273-02:30Welcome home!

(and i'll dispatch that freezer to you posthaste!)<br /><br />i agree with you about dublin being a little more subdued; i see it from a tourist's point of view, not a native, but noted fewer self-important people charging around on cell phones all over the city center, restaurants not so crowded that a person can't get a bite to eat on the spur of the moment, and prices more reasonable.<br /><br />i like what you said about the country getting back to its old values.<br /><br />and wouldn't i want to be on the beara peninsula with all of you in two years!<br /><br />welcome home! you've been much missed.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.com
