Just back in the door. As ever a memorable trip.
Landed Thursday and down to the pub that must not be mentioned for a couple, played poker that night and donked out but won 60 Euros in the cash game. We won't mention who won it.
On Friday afternoon back to the pub that must not be mentioned for afternoon refreshment then more poker and I came third this time. Good craic as usual and loads of Guinness.
Now Saturday night was the scene of Dawn's surprise party and it was like a military operation to keep her out of the pub where they were setting it up. On leaving the house her three children were lounging on the couch with all the looks of people who were in for the night. However when we left I can imagine the panic as they got changed and legged it up to the pub to put the finishing touches to the place.
It was a great night with a disco and copious amounts of drink. People came back to the house and I showed my age and slipped off to bed at some hour only to be awoken by some random man in boxer's climbing in beside me. This was 9am so I got out and let the morning shift have the bed and went downstairs and the party was still in full swing.
Got a lift to the airport from John Paul (the rest were in no shape to drive FFS) and let me tell you he's a nice lad but a bit of a lunatic in the car. As we were pulling off the crew were already walking up town to start the day right..
Great weekend, Great people, priceless
