Holidays

I’m back after 8 days in the South coast of Ireland.  I thought I would be in Wexford city but I wasn’t right: I was in County Wexford but in kind of a tourist area 5’ walking to the beach. Nice place, maybe too quiet for what I understand for holidays, but perfect for a family with children. Anyway, I spent a good time with the Lith’s.

The days before travelling were the same as usual: painting, some games, park, library, movies, Lennon… So it was quite the same routine that I was already used to it.

Happy that Emma loves puzzles as much as I do

Saturday morning, after packing everything, we started our journey. We had a problem with a wheel and Michael had to change the tyre before getting to our new house on the late afternoon. The house was nice and I could see the seaside from mi bedroom which was so relaxing and made me feel a little bit homesick. We went to the supermarket and then had dinner. We also watched a movie – ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ – before going to bed.

Sunday came with sunshine and after breakfast, we went to the beach. I wish I hadn’t gone because someone – a careless adult, because the beach was full of children – hit me hardly on my right leg with a circle boomerang and I got a huge and painful injury even if I was wearing long jeans. So I went back home, tried to clean the mess and fell sleep after – let’s be honest – a few tears. It hurt so much and I’ll have an ugly scar for my whole life… :(

Peaceful until...

The rest of the day was going to the park, supermarket again and we spent one hour in Duncannon where there wasn’t any special to see. Back home, we had dinner and watched ‘Nothing Hill’. Classic but it fits every day.

Monday was one the most boring days for me. My leg was all itchy and I was hoping for some more activity but it was calmer than ever. Breakfast, park, lunch, driving to New Ross – not visiting, just fixing the tyre, looking for a pharmacy and a ball for Jack and supermarket – and way back ‘home’ again. Dinner, park, ‘Cinderella’ and bed.

As you may have noticed, I didn’t have wifi during the whole week which is not a basic to live but it would have fixed my life in some way. At least, I had dozens of tv series episodes on my laptop and I read the book Michelle gave me as crazy – 500 pages in less than four days of a book in a language that it’s not my mother tongue. I think I did my best! –.

Tuesday was a nice day. It was raining but the family planned to go to the swimming pool in New Ross while I had time to walk around. The town wasn’t much nice but I had a great time. Back home, we went to the beach for a while and we also visited the Hook Lighthouse after dinner.

Wednesday was finally summer. The sun was shining on the sky during the whole day so we obviously spent all the time we could on the beach. Then just food, reading, park and we watched ‘The thief book’.

Thursday came again with rain – heavily this time – so we spent all day in the house. Jenga, domino, tv-series, book… Quiet day.

 ... and with Emma :___)

Friday was a sunny and windy day. Michelle and Michael went to New Ross because Michelle needed to go to the dentist and I spent some time on the park with Jack and Emma. Then, we went to visit the Hook Lighthouse and the view was stunning from the top. After that, we had a delicious ice-cream and ate Chinese food for dinner.

Happiness

Saturday morning we packed everything and said goodbye to Hookless Village. We didn’t come straight to Mountmellick: we went to Dublin because Michelle’s dad is in the hospital - he’s getting better now – and I went to the city centre for about two hours while they visited the family.

And it brings me to today, my first Sunday at home and there's nothing to do in Mountmellick. Who knows what next days will bring me!
