In the morning I’m heading down to Ennis, in the west of Ireland, to collect my grandfather to bring him to Cork, in the south of Ireland, for Christmas. I’m currently based about an hour or so from Dublin, so it will probably take about five or six hours driving not counting the stops etc.,
Most of the gifts I bought for family members were delivered to Cork, so the only job I’ll have is wrapping them. Of course I’ve also got a few things here to take with me. Hopefully I won’t forget anything essential, like the novels I promised I’d lend my mother!
This year is probably the last year that we’ll be spending in my mother’s current abode, as she’s moving into her new house early in the New Year…
Of course most people do that obligatory “I won’t be online much” post around now. That probably won’t be the case with me!
My MacBook Pro will be coming with me and I’ve every intention of making good use of it over the next few days.
It’s also the first Christmas in 4 years that I won’t be really working. Over the past year we‘ve expanded our staff quite a bit, so there will be other people to “hold down the fort” instead of me!
