It was gorgeous outside this afternoon. I walked 10 km (That’s a wee bit over six miles for the rest of you Merkans out there.) this afternoon. The temperature got up to a balmy 18°C (64°F), which was excellent weather for walking. I observed squirrels playing in the jungle gym of sun bleached bare branches and neighbours coming out to bathe in the sunlight. Over the fall, I really let myself get out of shape, but I’m back on the road to a washboard stomach.
Heck, I’ve got four months to get in shape and scrounge every penny I can. I am hoping to leave GSP on April 15th at 10:50AM and land in Dublin at 7:45AM the following morning. I shall keep you informed as to where I’ll be and when. I have found out the hard way that nothing is written in stone. Last time I stood in queue to leave, I got into a huge kerfuffle with my family.
Welp, I am yet again headed to work with an apple in my pocket. I went back to my beloved salads and fruits, instead of the greasy hamburgers I was hooked on for a while. Have a grand week all.
P.S.: I’m working on several post, so please bare with me.

April is it? I’ll have the kettle on if you come my way!
JD you’re showing your age. Washboards are no more . . . six packs my friend, six packs . . Yo!! Ah . . a couple of months later and you could buy ClareBear and I a chotapeg in Dublin . . . and I’ve told you before, submit some of your photos to a photo library . . could bring in some extra kish! Now get on with it, I’m feeling neglected!
The temp here went DOWN to about 18degC.
Grannymar, I should be in Belfast for two days.
What kind of tea are you brewing? 
Baino, six pack it is then. Ah, I wanted to get there before all of the tourist…..Oh wait, I am a tourist!
I best not wear shades on my head! 
When are you girls coming up? I’m sorry for not coming around….been a bit moody lately….women driving me crazy…one in particular. 
I do need to submit some of my photos.
TAFKAB, I can’t believe ya didn’t tell me man! Bastard……
Not sure about travel times, it depends when ClareBear hits the UK, probably July/August. What women driving you crazy – surely that’s a good thing? Now I’m curious and what’s TAFKAB (maybe you’d better IM me on those! . . .)
You’re going to Dublin? You’re going to Dublin! Oh you lucky fish, you! Is there room in your bag for me?
Now listen, just don’t do what all the other Merkans do when they’re in Ireland which is to say, “Say, my name is O’Shaunnessy, we wouldn’t possibly be related, would we?”
Baino, all of you women drive me crazy! Didn’t you know that?
Vanilla, of course there is room for you!
I made the mistake of asking a lady from County Down if she knew any Davis’ on my last trip. She laughed, and muttered, “Darlin’ me and you are probably related, if we did enough research…for that matter, half of ‘Merica is Irish in one way or another”. I met her on a train from Dublin to Belfast. She told me to “Mind Myself”, when we got off the train in Belfast. I replied, “As always, Ma’dam, as always”.
