Day 22 - Catch up day

Yesterday I delivered a double whammy post with two exciting episodes!!!

But today I had to fix some organisational issues, that took enough time to prevent me from travelling too far.

So today's post is a bit of a catch up of things I meant to describe in the last few days, and they didn't make it to the actual daily report!

So a quick report on today..

Most important jobbie today was taking my washing to Kath Clean. It seems to always fall on a Monday, and that starts the week off well... Pick up tomorrow and I'm all clean again.

On the way home of course I had to stop at the Ocean - and it's like a mill pond today....

Tide is out

As I was walking along the prom, I heard this bloke explaining about some shells to another lady. He looked like a real beachcomber - bit of a hippy style..

Anyway, the thing that caught my attention was the name he gave to these shells - Holy Lady shells.

So I stopped and asked him about them and he showed them to me..

You might have to magnify the pic to see the imprint that looks a bit like Our Lady...

I was telling Pat about them when I got home, and he had some fabulous examples of them. 

Apparently they are very fragile, so I'm not sure if mine will make it home in one piece.

Going back to yesterday...

First of all last night...

Pat cooked a magnificent lamb roast dinner for us all.. and to complement it, we drank the lovely bottle of Margaret River Red, which I had brought over in my suitcase. Pat and Marie loved our Australian Wine, and it went down very nicely with a roast lamb dinner

Yesterday was a busy day, and I already had two posts, but I have extra pics from Marie and Patrick's journey to Whitegate, where Patrick was playing a hurling match.

They stopped at Mt Shannon for a few pics

Mt Shannon is on Lough Derg and is apparently a very pretty place.

Callura South is the Shannon's address - no connection though!

Earlier in the week, Ellen and Patrick played together at a school assembly for Culture week. They were posted on Instagram  and Facebook under Ennistymon Community School Official, but in case you can't access that, here's an excerpt from the video...

So I think that's just about brought us up to date...

So much happening... so little time!!! But so good..... 😄
