A round up of what's been happening


 January is quickly coming to a close....who could have believed it would go so fast? Only a few more days and then it's spring.....in Ireland it is anyway!

This crazy little difference between Ireland and the rest of the northern hemisphere is something I only realised last year......for some reason we follow a different seasonal calender. The lovely little emerald isle follows the Gaelic calendar which sees the seasons change at different times based on the strength of the sun! So happy Spring everyone!! (Okay I'm a few days ahead of myself but one can only look forward in life!)

In a little bid to get more accustomed to blogging more regularly I thought I would do a little feature at the end of each month to summarise how it's all gone.

So what's been happening?
 
Eating: We've been eaten quite a lot of one pot wonders this month, Goulash, creamy risotto, curries to name but a few.

Drinking: Too much!! There doesn't seem to be such a thing as a post Christmas detox round these parts. Also teapots of tea at a time.

Watching: Grey's anatomy, The Big Bang theory (two new episodes and then it stops...whats that about?), Revenge has also started back.

Reading: The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. It is such a lovely read, cleverly written with the right amount of suspense throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a nice break from all the Game of Thrones I had been reading before Christmas.

Doing: We started back our cycling again although we has now been hampered by that dame thing called rain...ugh!! We also ventured out around the Green chain in our new walking boots, you've got to break them in somehow! I'm really looking forward to getting out on longer walks and eventually getting a proper hiking weekend in there somewhere.


I've had a pleasant January, not as depressing as i thought it would be after all the festive fun. February looks like it will be good too. A swanky dinner is planned in the next few weekends which I cannot wait to have!

How has yours been? What are you looking forward to in the coming month?

  1. I wish I could say spring was coming here - but no such luck! I'm all about the risotto in the winter. My January has been good, however it feels like it has lasted about 6 months! x
