Today I was "friended" by six Russian bot accounts. So were some of you. As a result of this I am locking my journal from now on. Apologies to anyone reading this whom that effects. I've been getting around one a week for a long time now and have found lj support a) initially unhelpful to the point of being patronising and b) extremely slow.

Pay someone to sort it out lj.

I may also mass lock all previous posts. I actually do hate to do this but I see no other option while this is continuing.

Yesterday evening a really organic small gathering happened Chez Nous. It was just lovely. The Gc's mam had come for lunch and then decided to stay the night, Orly came over the see the house and microgirl and Dave came to see the house and pick up her Special Garment that was newly finished (and kicks ass if I do say so myself).

It was all very impromptu and lasted until around midnight. It was great, I've never had anywhere to really host people before due to all the living-in-community I've done. *contented sigh*

The 1st years (12-13 year olds) were telling me improbable news stories to see would I believe them. I was having none of it. Then one of them turns to another of them and says the immortal line: "Do you know if you say the word chicken realllly slowly in sounds like gullible?"


Genius. Total Genius!

Having been off alcohol for lent again this year and not even having broken it for Paddy's Day due to work I have returned to the loving embrace of alcohol. It is amusing how much my tolerance is reduced by having a 40 day break. I don't drink that much ever really but usually I'm not noticeably tipsy after one bottle of beer. Seriously!

Hello all,

Apologies to all of you who have mailed or commented whom I haven't gotten back to, we have no internet and it's been busy busy busy. We can't get the car gate to work to get in and out so internet is way down the list of life necessites at the mo, below toilet brushes and buckets, says she pretending she not going slowly mad without daily net access. Today I do have limited internet but it is Saturday and the sun in shining and my parents are coming over to see place so extra cleaning needs to be done.

It's been a tough old lent which I might post about later if I get the time. Enjoy the day tomorrow everyone. Peace.

But both My Name is Earl and The Big Bang Theory are funny. This is not a trait common to many current sitcoms.

My Dad is doing a trek to fundraise for Fr. Peter McVerry. In the process he needs to raise €3000 so I said that if he had a pub quiz my friends would come. This means you.


I've no idea where or when but when I jump up and down about it later you'll know what I mean.

Last night we started to learn the samba. It may be the silliest dance in the universe after morris dancing but by george it's a lot of fun. And guess what we were sambaing to? Thriller!
