It's only for a few weeks....

At least, that's one way of looking at it. You see, I've had a recruiter call to discuss a role with me. But it's a 24x7 rotating shift job.

It's been a while...

Since we were last in Australia, and to be fair, around other Australians. Sure, there's at least 2 others in our unit complex, but we don't socialise with them much. But we woke up the other morning to mysteriously find a copy of the new Underbelly episodes sitting on my desktop. No idea how that happened.

For LOLs...

Recipe book recalled and pulped due to typographic error.

Penguin Group (Australia) confirms the Pasta Bible ISBN 97801 43011071 has been pulped due to an error in the recipe for Spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto. The recipe incorrectly suggests adding salt and freshly ground black people – instead of freshly ground black pepper. The error occurred during the book’s editing process. A member of the public contacted Penguin to advise of the mistake, and 7,000 copies of the Pasta Bible were immediately quarantined in Penguin’s warehouse and pulped. A revised edition of the Pasta Bible will be available from late May 2010.

Would you like some freshly ground people with your pasta sir?

At least the weather is Sunny...

Because, as previously mentioned, I still haven't had much luck in finding a job.

What a Load of Blarney..

Today was Cork Day 1 (or 2, depending on how you look at it) and we had decided to go to the Blarney Castle. So we hopped on a bus, for the half hour or so trip from Cork, and headed on our merry way.

We actually had time to fit in a bit more today...

... before Jameson's we went to the National Museum.

I prefer Scotch...

... whisky :)

We went to the Old Jameson Distillery today. Figured I really should know how whiskey/whisky (they spell the Irish ones with an 'e') is made.

Dublin Day 1

So after the debacle with the Ferry from IOM to Dublin, we ended up needing to catch a flight. The price wasn't tooo bad really, and we intend to claim on our travel insurance. The flight itself though, was quite rough. Especially rough, when we were in a little ATR42 plane.

So we're now in Dublin anyway, which is good.

Quick test of Geotagging

We're currently in Dublin. This post is a quick test of Geotagging. I'm playing with some features, so I can add a map of alternately, where we are RIGHT NOW, and/or where we've been.

Isle Of Man Steam Train & Castle Rushen

As part of our trip to the Isle of Man, we caught the Steam Train from the capital Douglas, down to Castletown. The purpose of this trip was partly to see some of the scenery on the island, and visit Castle Rushen, but also just to ride on a steam train.. cause you see, we're just little kids at heart.
