So, my mom pointed out today that I hadn't updated in ages. I was sure this wasn't possible, but unfortunately it is. Today was a great day. The weather here has been absolutely amazing. Sunny and warm! Sam and I started the morning going to a training session at the gym with Sam's mom. It was soooo much work. I really don't get much exercise other walking, so it was a bit of a surprise for me. But, good fun and a great way to kick off a Saturday morning. Then back to his mom's house for lunch and a bit of a hang out. Then on to the garden center. I bought pots, for planting herbs and Sam's mom bought me a mint plant. Then we got to feed the chickens which they have in a coop out back, which was really neat. There was a particular variety that had blue feet, something I had never seen before. It's a really strange set up, it isn't like a Lowe's type garden center. It started off as a families private house where they grew some extra plants to sell at the market in Galway on the weekends and from there it just kept growing. Now it is a huge complex, still family run, and it has chickens and rabbits and all sorts of plants and a tea room. The family still lives on the premise as well. It was doing great business when we were there. This weather must be so good for business.
Easter here was nice, but I did miss having Easter with the family. Sam's dad cooked some amazing lamb, which was such a nice treat. Opened my Easter basket from my parents on Skype, which was full of goodies from America!
I'll update soon and go through some of the backlog that I have built up of events that need to be covered. I am just to fried mentally and physically from papers and working out to do them any justice right now. Hope all is well with everyone!
