Back to Reality

Well I'm back! I had a brilliant time visiting my Dad. I hadn't had such a long break away in ages so it was well worth it. My Dad and I got time to talk and I was pretty active while I was up there - not that I'm lying around usually :-). Also I found some of my personal stuff in storage including clothes, books and a motherlode of stories, first drafts and poetry that I've collected throughout the years so that was a big bonus to my trip! Speaking of trips...I twisted my ankle while I was up there. It's a bit achy and it's badly bruised but I'll be fine! It's not like I'm a professional athlete or something and need 12 weeks off to recover ;-).

So I've been back in Dublin since Wednesday evening and I've finally gotten the apartment kicked into shape. Well until this weekend anyway, when I really should do a clear out - a 'spring clean' if you will. Now that the place is in a reasonably good order, it shouldn't be too difficult. And that should take care of the major domestic work for the moment.

So what else have I been up to? I went into town last Friday and bought a book: "The Harlequin's Dance" by Tom Arden. I haven't read it yet and it will be added to my list of books to read. I'll mention what I'm currently reading in a later blog. Also on Friday, I went to see ' Elektra' with Jennifer Garner. It wasn't bad but not as good as 'Daredevil'. I'll probably see another this weekend so more on that next week. I bought a pair of runners (trainers or sneakers to those outside Ireland) and a new bathroom towel. Hmmm, I'm getting very domesticated these days...I'm going to have to watch that! ;-)

So that's it for today. More coherent gibberish tomorrow...hopefully!
