These are what Ian was throwing me when he came home to find me making pancakes. I'm working late tomorrow night so I decided to celebrate pancake Monday in place of pancake Tuesday!! I feel sick now...

Day 61

L is for laughter

Laughter is definately necessary in the workplace. Today one of the ladies we work with was moaning about how ill she felt all night as she scoffed a load of sweet things yesterday. On lunch break we "decorated" a commode and left it in the office where she's based with a sign attached saying "Helen's throne" Immature but very funny!

Day 60

K is for Kongs! Best dog toy ever!

Day 57

H is for high as a kite

We were in Enniscrone and spotted these guys on the beach. One guy was kite surfing. The other guy was on the beach in a "buggy" and was being pulled by the kite. It looked like great craic! There was quite a breeze and he managed to build up some speed

Day 56

G is for General Election day. Hopefully they won't delay removing their posters!

I love flowers, but hate when they wither and have to be dumped. I had my wedding bouquet preserved so I can have them forever!

Tonight we headed out with Ian's brother Donal and his fiance Siobhan to celebrate their engagement with some of Ian's family. I forgot my camera though, hence the symbolic photo!

Day 53

D is for dull, dark and dreary; which is exactly what today was. As my mum would say it was a day for the ducks .
You would swear we had 10 kids with the amount of toys in our garden (all dog toys!) Our garden is in such a mess and I can't wait to do some work on it during the summer!





Day 52

C is for cake! When I'm bored I bake, and then I wonder why I can't loose weight!

Day 51

B is for Billy!

Day 49

Our spare room is full of "get fit" gear. Tonight I decided to put some of it to use (normally I use it to hang clothes on!). I am so unfit...

Day 48

My parents are having their bathroom renovated. I couldn't resist a spot of al fresco bathing!

Day 47

Today was such a lovely dry day, I painted our fence at the front of the house (have been impatient to do it since Christmas!). Billy stood guard at the door the whole time! Bless...my own bodyguard!

I was working late yesterday Valentines Day, so I cooked a yummy dinner and dessert for Ian tonight. We had a lovely evening and a even had a dance around the kitchen!

Had such a lovely day  today. Leisurely lie in, then I had a back massage and Ian had a seaweed bath in Voya, Strandhill. We headed to Shells cafe afterwards for lunch and bumped into our good friends. Had a lovely lunch, a natter and some cake! It's the little things...

Day 43

Cosy night in with DVD's and a tub of heavan!...



Day 42

This sheep created quite a stir when we saw him! There's a field full of sheep beside my workplace but this fella is the only one of his breed amongst them. He looks like a cross between a sheep dog and a sheep...very cute! It's a bad photo as he got shy when we all tried to get a picture!

Day 41

Ian's brother rang to tell us he got engaged! It was quite a shock as we had no idea, but a lovely surprise. They are living in England so didn't have a chance to congratulate them in person yet. That's my wedding and e-ring in the picture

Day 28

Blue

I love the colour blue. I treated myself to this blue glass charm for my Pandora and I got the earrings in a glass craft shop in Donegal during the summer



Day 27

Orange

I love the glass in this door (how sad am I?!) I picked it out and one of our friends put it together for us. Of course Billy had to get in the picture too!
