In and running.

New beast confind and running!
 Lets see and where to start.
Sally's sister and bros in law arrived on Fri., morning. had a good visit I went off to the boat and worked around.
The family showed up later in the day for the grand tour. then off home for a scrumptious dinner and one or two bottles of wine.
Sat, everyone kind of did they're own things I went to the boat and got some minor stuff done. Returned home and the Sally and I headed off to Longraid for a 40th birthday party theme of which was the big house. Not the canadian big house which is prison but the Irish big house which is a Castle, tower house or mansion. all kind of fit where the party was.
 I know I know you guys just didn't think that I could hob knob with the Hoi Poloy. Well let me tell you after 4 drinks they all fall to my level so it all works!
The weekend was nothing but rain and cold no wonder Ireland is green except for the sheep and cows which have colours of their own.
But I digress, we were talking about up and running. Sooo getting there,,, Sunday we drove up to Dublin to visit Joyce who is Sally's favourite Aunt and is skiving off in the hospital. After wandering around inside said Hospital looking for Joyce and not being able to find her,someone asked a nurse. Go figure wouldn't you think that should have been the first thing we did? We eventually got to the right floor and ward and being a trained observer I was checking out all the rooms and spyed someone familiar who actually turned out to be?????? Yup Joyce. Had a great visit then did the looooonnnnng ddrrive back to Gorrie where we had dinner with Uncle D. ( those who don't know Uncle D is David Warren Sally's real uncle and mine by marriage. Lamb stew by the way. (actually the loser lambs as  the world sheep and lamb shearing competition was being held in Gorrie. Hurried up dinner as Allan and Heather( Sally's brother in law and sister) had to catch the boat back to Jolly old England. Sally and I were dropped off at the house Sally went off to visit Mum I veged A and H hared off to the boat made it in time and we assume they had an easy trip.
 SSSSooooo now we get to Monday. also know as today. Up bright and early 0630 for me not so much for Sally. Breakfast off to the yachet Mechanic showed up around 130ish hooked up the exhaust stuff filled the engine with necessary fluids and then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Vroooooooom,Vrooooooom sputter sputter whirrrrrrrrr vrooooooooom vroooooommm sputtttttter Vroooooooooooooooooooommmmm, vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom Hurrrrayyyyyy.. Did a bit with the prop and then changed into street going clothes in the canteen. found the last guiness and poured into a Beamish glass. I know I know you shouldn't mix glasses but what the heck it was the only one big enough. Was drinking that when the Kehoe bros arrived laughing because Sally was wandering around the yard looking for me! Now you have to know that I had observed Sally chatting up a sailor on a muscle boat that had just pulled into the dry dock so I felt pretty safe with Guiness. ( little did I know) Sally eventually found me enssconsed in the canteen with my guiness and Michael and Stephen with their Sider and red respectfully.
 Sally really really wasn't upset! and she had a small red. the boys tyed me to the chair and force fed me re wine the beer was all gone. I eventually escaped and ran (not really Sally drove) home for dinner and for me to write this. Though I guess write is not the right term for typing away on a computer so to correct myself I comosted this. tomorrow we might be in the water or maybe not but I'll let you know.
