Today

Do you like my tights?

Tea and me.

I have come down now from cloud nine (it was very nice up there I would recommend it) and I am back to the hum drum that is life with five kids under six years old.
I am just wondering if anyone knows of a condition caused by "tea overdose"? I never came across a case in my training but I am sure to get it as I must drink the most tea of anyone in the world. Actually that is a challenge if anyone else drinks more tea I want to know how?
I do love tea. I love new teas and experimenting with tea. I also like tea sets and pots and basically anything and everything to do with tea. Tea is my crutch for getting through a day of "mommy mommy mommy" every 3 minutes in a very high pitch voice. Maybe when I am older I will move on to stronger stuff? Um that has just given me an idea.
By the way have you tried Marco Polo tea - fabulous and if you like green tea, which I do, try Tee de Nil.
Pictured above is my survival kit.

James McAvoy

My birthday mystery tour included going to London to see James McAvoy in Three days of Rain by Richard Greenberg at the Apollo. Fantastic performance. And after he came out the stage door to sign autographs. It was such a thrill to see him in person. Note the authentic "man at work sign" behind us.

Birthdays

They say "we live and learn" but mostly we just live and don't learn at all.

Jumping the gun.

Well we all know hand knitting can be a very slow process so I have decided to knit a few sizes bigger in order to make sure they fit the right child when I am finished knitting them. My husband thinks I am looney, gone bananas or something of the sort because last night I finished a beautiful pink sweater see pic. size 3 to 4 years now my only girl is only 5 months!!
Time to take a little break from the needles and so for my birthday tomorrow we are going on a mystery tour .....more later.

A Little Sun

So this morning we had some beautiful sunshine. Eoin lept out of his chair to go out in the garden. He loves to go outside and didn't hesitate to take advantage of the half hour sun. I sat out with a cup of tea and pretended I was in SB! Very nice.

Glendalough

We had a lovely visit from a friend this week and I had the pleasure of being a tourist in my home town. We went on a guided tour of Wicklow, "the garden of Ireland" and at the end to Glendalough. All a lot of fun.
