I live here...

...sometimes I forget.

You know you've been working in an office too long when...

The highlight of your day is that the coffee machine is giving away free coffee.

Quote of the Day

Kate: Oh, your husband is French?
Claudia: Yes, but he's nice.

Highlights from Ireland

All signs, newspapers, announcements, ads, instructions etc being in English, and everyone speaking English - I did actually miss French but it was so nice not having to think before speaking and being able to express yourself fully and have proper conversations with anyone you wanted.
Fish'n'chips and proper full breakfast everyday with bacon, eggs, hashbrown, sausage, baked beans, toast and scones. If they'd had vegemite it would have been home.
The Cliffs of Moher!! They are so spectacular!!!! And as you can see from the photos below we sat right on the edge.
Beer - Ales, stouts and lagers.
Dancing with the locals to Irish music in a pub in Galway.
All the castles, there are SO many castles in Ireland!
All the random locals we met and chatted to. Everyone had a story to tell, whether it be about the history of Dublin or how much they love Home & Away.
Seeing live stand-up comedy in Dublin, even though we only got about 60% of the jokes.
Watching Australia slaughter Ireland in the International Rules Football match.
Finally buying a pair of boots.
Buying a pair of gloves for only 75 cents, they're not the most attractive gloves but they got the job done.
Going crazy on the last night with the girls on the df*

*df = dancefloor (but shame on you if you didn't know that!!!)
