Life of Lu 27/07/11

Oh what a week!
Really genuinely!
It was fabulous!

On Friday I met two friends of mine who always but a smile of my face, Maria and Donagh and we went for a sneaky pint to Neachtains which is one of my favourite places in Galway. 
I really enjoyed meeting up with them and I'll be honest it put a big smile on my face to see them both.

Then I got a text from a wonderful friend of mine from home Sarah who I considered an adopted sister for years along with the other scallywag Marie. She too was in Galway with her very lovely other half Rossa who I hadn't met before. So we also went for an afternoon pint in the sunshine in Galway.
Anyone who has ever been a resident of Galway will know that an afternoon of sunshine in Galway can be very hard to beat. Everyone is always so happy to be here!

Then on Saturday it was my friend's birthday. So Siobhan and I decided to make a cake. A guitar cake!
I do have photos but my silly laptop charger has died so I can't us my laptop at the moment to upload the photos :( I will show you soon.

But before we could finish the cake. I got a phonecall to say that some friends of mine were in Neachtains  if I fancied joining them. I was soooo excited! I hadn't seen Billy in a long long time (bar maybe 20 minutes at a 30th earlier in the year) nor had I met his very lovely other half Noel. So Siobhan got left with the remainder of the cake and I got to meet the boys! 

How one weekend fitted so many friends I don't know. It was fabulous! And we got to go to Tom's birthday party afterwards which introduced me to rice krispie buns with marshmallow. Genius.

On Monday I read a message from James' brother's girlfriend (are you with me?) to say that they are hoping to come visit in a few weeks! 
I am so excited! I loved when they came last time! They are so so nice!
 Also, his sister Margaret sent an adorable photo of her little kiddies wearing some stuff we sent over in a parcel. It has gotten me even more excited about or impending move to Scotland!

Then last night I got to spend time with two of my amigos who I will miss terribly when I leave.
Mandy and Carolan. But we have decided on regular visits so I will probably see them more then than I do now! 

Have a good week you all!
I hope your week is full of friends too
xx

Not many people are aware of it, but I had a bit of a health scare last week. I went for a regular 15 minute check up with my GP and spent the following 5 days in hospital going through every test imaginable to man. I am still in the middle of tests but the prognosis is so far positive and I have been allowed home for rest which is fabulous, but good god did I get a fright. And if I am honest I'm not sure Stuart is quite right after it all either!


I have been joking how I would love a good old MOT (NCT for the Irish amongst us), for a while now. They say mocking is catching, and I have fairly gone through the MOT process this last week. Oh boy has it been a fast week! In that time I have had more blood taken than was shed in the Game of Thrones. My hand is so bruised it looks like I have my first tan! I have seen my pancreas, liver, kidneys and an ovary (very cool scan if I say so myself!), I have had my pee collected in little buckets/bottles for 24hrs, and I have pretty much eith…

Missing Marguerite. 14 years later.

On this day, 14 years ago, the world lost a little bit of its magic, when at 11pm, my little sister took her final breath and life changed as we all knew it. She was only 17 years old. 17 years and 19 days to be exact. As I sat here today reading all the lovely messages written about her, my heart soared with pride in the fact that in her short time with us, she managed to have such a big impact on so many people. Marguerite Mary O'Dwyer, an ambassador for mischief, mockery and for having a marvellous time. I miss her so much.

It is funny how every year there is something different that I focus on for the anniversary. I never choose my train of thought, I think the year since the last anniversary chooses it for me. Last night, I got fairly plastered on wine and when my other half went to his bed, I sat and sang along to every sad song I could think of. I had a wee chat with Mags before I went to bed and woke up this morning well rested and ready to seize the day. 
I got quite sad a…

It has been a long, long time since I have written a blog post.
I don't know why, it has taken me so long, nor shall I apologise for it.
I could give you a thousand excuses and reasons, but I guess the main reason is that I didn't feel like I had an awful lot to say!

That is not true, I always have a lot to say. The topics that have been on my mind however are quite emotive (mostly Brexit related, and let's be honest we have read and heard more than enough about that shite), and it is very difficult to write something when you yourself don't even understand how you feel about it.

For me it is mostly disappointment, and nobody wants to read a whole blog piece about me feeling disappointed. So tonight, I am writing a much more positive one. I am writing some thankfuls.
I have spent the last few months reading and writing. I have spent some time with my family back in Ireland, and spent some wonderful time with Stuart, his family and my friends here in Aberdeen. I was ref…
