Sun, sun and more sun.

Believe it or not, it's almost July here in Dublin, the temperature is about 13 celcius and it's pouring with rain, please refer to photo.

So it is with much glee that I realise it is almost time for me and mine to set out on the family holiday for some much need R&R as well as an escape from the dreaded Irish Summer.

Being a good boy, I am trying to finish all my games before I go and haven't been accepting any challenges for a couple of weeks now.  Which reminds me, apologies to all those whose challenges I rejected, I wasn't being rude, I just didn't want to leave you hanging for a couple of weeks.Laughing

For a change we are going somewhere which only takes one aeroplane to get too, which makes my better half very happy as it's easier to manage the kids for one flight than for two or three.

The weather will be good, I will do a bit of diving, teach the kids to swim and have a few alcoholic beverages while I'm at it, all of which makes me very excited.

And hopefully, I'll have some nice shark photos to post when I get back!!!!

Ciao for now,

Evil H

The intention is not so much to swim with them, although I have done that too, but rather to let them swim by if they are there :-)

Swimming with sharks I can actually say I am jealous.. (There is no sarcasm here) I would really love to do that.

We say drinkipoo here in Canada too, though usually in a teasing manner.

Cheers,

Your comment made me realise how some colloquialisms get lost in translation, so have done a quick edit.

Regarding the drinkipoos...

if there is poo in your drink. Make sure you stir it in real good.

Otherwise... have a great time!
