Visiting Ireland

Ed and I have to be up tomorrow at what my youngest daughter calls "silly o'clock". A friend is picking us up at 6.30am and driving us to Luton airport - around two hours away - ready for our visit to Ireland. I've only been once before, for a long weekend, but this time we're going for a week.

We're flying to Waterford airport, picking up a hire car and driving to Knocktopher, about 45 minutes away. The weather forecast for next week is pretty appalling, but who cares? We'll don our wet gear and have fun.

I'm taking a little netbook computer with me, but whether I'll find any wi-fi broadband remains to be seen. Probably not.

So I'm signing off for a week - see you again sometime around Monday week.

Have a great weekend, and I do hope none of you are affected by the hurricane.
