The internet has the funniest things..Whilst I abhor icanhascheeseburger with the passion of a thousand burning fires, some cat related stuff is very cute…see this vid made me laugh and feel sorry for the poor mite at the same time..

and well this pic is just classic.

I’ll bet you are there thinking, that one has the life of Reilly, all day surfing for funny pics and browsing youtube for gems, alas not! First thing in the morning I browse the sites to get some stuff to post on the spud and occasionaly stumble upon funnies which I like to share

So at the moment I am recovering from a head cold Mammy2 kindly decided to share with me. This cold is not being aided by the current weather sitation. Yesterday to the sounds of O Fortuna I noticed the dark clouds gathering and promptly ignored them thinking, rather niavely I now realise, that its May and surely in May one can expect some sort of warm temperatures and no downpours. Well I was wrong. May everywhere else might indicate just that, but here in the lovely Emerald Isle it means cats and dogs and cold temperatures and no summer wardrobe at all. This was what I walked through.

Cats, dogs and meerkats were being chucked from the sky. Thankfully the kid had rescheduled sister’s night as she was dying of a cold so as soon as I was in the door, it was hot shower and into warm clothes and no moving out of doors. Spent the evening playing around with a wordpress database, am helping out someone who isn’t really techy and asked for assistence. I love problem solving when its clear what the problem is but in this case it could be any number of things including plugin upgrades or WP upgrades. As a result of lots of research, I found this nifty diagram of the schema of the Wordpress database. I showed it to Mammy2 and asked her what she thought of the sexy schema. She said she didn’t think the word sexy was applicable. Long story short, the lady I am helping out has decided to do a fresh install on her new dededicated server space and get the site back up and running and then export the tables she needs to the new setup. All sounds very doable and should keep the brain active for a while.

This day week we’ll be in NY. Our flight is at 12.30, Mammy2 has gotten in touch with our GP for a little ’something’ to help with my flying fear. She says little something, I hear horse tranquilizers. I saw a few episodes of the A-Team, so I am fully aware of people take care of people who are afraid of flying. I will be keeping a close eye on her if she offers to make me tea or buy me a pint. Next you know I’ll arrive safe and sound and there won’t be any panic. But that’s a week away, in the meantime the brother’s 30th and the mam’s anniversary looms ahead this weekend. The brother’s 30th is going to be very like the engagement party we went to previously so I won’t need to go into details. These country dos are not my thing but he is the bro and he is only 30 once. Myself, Mammy2 and the kid travel down on the Fri and back on the Sat. Mam’s anniversary is on the Sat, so far we have no plans, its the first year we don’t have to endure that stupid mass with the relatives and where we don’t need a safe word to escape some of the relatives. Its such a relief. Now we can mark the occasion as we see fit. Whether it be cooking a big mashed potato dinner and having a few drinks with good mates or hogging the jukebox in some random pub and playing Mam’s songs. Much better then listening to some guy we don’t know talk about how we are all going to hell. Right Fr.
