Normal service resumes today. I'm just back after a long weekend. Tipperary on Friday for a wedding and then another one in Dublin on Saturday. At this rate I'll be the only single man left in my circle of friends ... Sunday I chilled in Dublin before driving back West - whereupon I got stuck in the traffic at Moate, most of it coming back from the U-21 All Ireland final in Portlaoise. Yesterday, I chilled in Galway, watched the shoal of Mullet near the docks at low tide and later at high tide - the highest for several years apparently - I said hello to the one eyed seal at the Claddagh and helped a couple of Japanese chaps catch some fresh Mackerel. Much excitement was had by all....
