[: Donkeys :]

Lisa can't talk. Hahahaha. Her voice has just completely disappeared, and I know this is cruel for me to say, but it's so funny when she talks. Hehe
Anyway, I was standing at the bus stop today and I saw something I really enjoyed and thought "oh man, I have to blog about this". I'm sure you won't find this as interesting as I do, but I loved it.
I was standing at the bus stop, waiting to get picked up for school, and I was just looking around singing to myself when I saw the donkeys in the paddock across the road playing. It was just so adorable, they were wrestling with their heads and 'frolicking in the meadow'. And it gave me a happy feeling.
The country is nice =]

[: A Wonderful Weekend ]

So it's been over 4 weeks since I've been gone and it's been grand!
This weekend [Friday-Sunday] we were at Donegal [kinda near the coast] with Grainne and all the females in her family on her mom's side. There were about 35 of us. It was awesome.
Saturday was beautiful! I found a really good shop and bought some awesome clothes for about a third of the price they should've been. Top notch! haha.
Lisa and I checked out the pubs, Irish people sure are a different breed.
We wound back at the hotel, and when we walked in there was a bride standing in the entrance having photos taken. The hotel was off the hook! There was the party reception going on, and then a great band called 'The Bellys' [I think] playing where we were at. It was so much fun, although there are certainly some strange people around. We experienced 2 oldies removed their shirts on the dancefloor, 1 oldie removing his trousers whilst standing on a bar stool and many people sleeping, slipping, dancing like lunatics.
When Lisa and I went to retreat to our room we experiences one final interesting scene. To put in politely it was 2 people of the couch in their fine formal clothes, in the middle of public, doing something they really should've been doing in private. Lisa and I walked past giggling and they just froze...thinking that if they didn't move we wouldn't notice them. Hahaha. And then in the morning when we went down for breakfast, the poor fellow had left his belt on the couch!
Drove back today, am kinda tired, but it was so good.
I have more great photos to put up. Hopefully I'll get them loaded up tomorrow.
