So another Friday and the week end starts here. It’s been a very busy Friday two clients this morning for Injury Treatment & Management. This afternoon food shopping until about 3pm. After that working on Dean Holland’s course that I am doing, this is the last section called Screen King. This part is all about making Video’s and getting them on U tube and your blog like this one and other sites. Dean Holland’s Starting with marketing course has been excellent all the way through. I have learned so much about blog set up and everything else to do with making the blog look good. Now to making our own video’s under Dean Holland’s watchful eye is a great experience. I went out today and bought a web cam so that I can make the videos. I am very excited about the idea and can’t wait to get started.

That a part I don’t know what your weekend is like, but mine will be Saturday in the Willows Clinic doing my main job. This will be lots of massages including a Hydrotherm Pregnancy Massage. I quite like doing these massages as they are carried out with the client lying on their back. On warm water mattresses with a lumbar support under their knees. A correctly sized opsipital support under their head.  Putting them into the perfect anatomical position for maximum comfort. This same basic position will be used in any stage of pregnancy. From this position the whole body can be massaged even the clients back using the Hydrotherm massage system without the client ever needing to turn over or even move. The whole routine is carefully worked out for early pregnancy through to full term. It is also very good for people with mobility problems. As once they have been placed into position they have no need to move.  

I will, all being well be finished work by 4pm. Then it’s showered changed and out to our friends Joyce and Dave‘s house for tea. But it will not be a late night as we need to be home by 11pm at the latest. Because Sunday we have a Market Stall at Fairyhouse race course Sunday market. Selling the body building products we provide through our website www.irelandFIT.com. We have to be there by 7.30am ready to set up so we will need to be up by 6am.

I will tell you all how we got on at the market Sunday night. If I can stay a wake.

Hello again

 Well what a weekend here in Ireland the whole Lisbon treaty and its coming referendum was debated fiercely over dinner last night with a group of close friends. It raised some very interesting arguments for both sides. But the No side won at the table. With their argument being a reduction in the minimum wage. Less control over national finances for the elected government.

 The conversation then flowed naturally to the all Ireland GAA final championships which took place today between the counties of Kerry and Cork. The influx of people to the city of Dublin from the combatant’s home cities could only be compared to being like a plague of Locusts. The whole city was a wash with the colours of Green and yellow (Kerry) and red and white (Cork). The Guards (Irish police) struggled to control the sea of fans that were spilling all over the streets of the capital. Guards on horse back and cycles were doing their best to herd the supporters off of the roads, to keep them and passing motorists safe. The crowd was very good natured on the whole with no trouble reported.

The result of the game came as no surprise with Kerry wining their 5^th all Ireland title in 10 years. They have won more all Ireland titles than any other county in Ireland and this win was and will be as well celebrated as the first. Because Kerry has won the GAA all Ireland so many times it is jokingly known as the kingdom.

 It was a great day in Dublin and we as a family took off to take advantage of the wonderful sunshine and go to a market in the next county. Whilst listening to the match on the car radio.

We rounded the day off with a nice Italian meal.

Hi Again

I am sorry it has been so long since the last time I posted anything up on my blog. But lots of things have been happening. I have been to weddings, 40^th birthday parties and on Holliday to Malta.

First off we had a very busy week in the clinic leading up to my partner Irene’s brother’s weddings. I know what you are thinking weddings?!! Well on the Friday they had the civil ceremony at the registry office and me and me mot (Irish slang for female partner) went to her brothers place minded the kids and made a big, big buffet for everyone coming back from the registry office. Then we mucked in and helped feed everyone and wash up and do.

The next day we picked up Irene’s niece and we all went down into the country to a quaint little hotel that specialises in weddings. I think it was called the station house because it used to be a railway station once pone a time. A nice little touch is that the old signal box is converted into a suit for the bride and groom to spend the wedding night in. we had the family room because we looked after the kids from Irene’s brother’s previous marriage.

All in all it was a good do with another wedding ceremony carried out by a monk from the arse end of no where. This was all done in the grounds of the hotel. The bride was fashionably late just over the hour. We left early next day to get ready for our holiday to Malta.

This blocked most of my week for posting and Dean Holland’s course. But I am getting back on track now.

The story will continue later.
