H2G2

Why I ever coughed up the money for a Rough Guide to Ireland, or spent time searching for internet sites about the place before I moved here I don’t know. I’d completely forgotten the existence of H2G2, which has a fairly accurate and amusing entry on Galway that’s got me giggling at work this morning. I particularly liked

“A Dublin newspaper columnist recently wrote of Galway, that whenever he goes there he thinks it’s a great place, but he gets the urge to just pick the city up and shake it and tell it ‘for God’s sake, would you ever get a proper job’.”

And I’ve just had a text from Dad – the blue tit chicks have hatched!!! I’ll have to see if I can get a photo of them from him this evening, and as I’m heading back to the UK on Thursday in time for the Festival, I should get a chance to see them.

ETA: 9 chicks so far, and one egg that may still hatch!
