Weekend in Hereford
With the end of my contract in Ireland looming on the horizon I decided to go home to Hereford this weekend and return my PC along with some of the more bulky and heavy of the gear I seem to have accumalated in Dublin.
Took the ferry back on the Friday and spent the best part of the day getting there. Had some food over at mothers and got to see Davids "new" house. This makes his fourth and I don't know how he does it. Ok each of them were wrecks when he took them over and the one he is living in atm is a more of a building site but kudos to him for having a morgage repayment bigger than his salary.
Saturday was spent cleaning up the house as various insects had died there the last 9 months since somebody was living here. Spoke to Heather next door and got all the gossip about whats going on. Took the bicycle out to see B and had a lovely lunch followed by a walk in the woods. Got to walk through badger country and could see their tracks and holes everywhere, was great. Visited fathers grave and said a prayer, its his birthday in just over a week, oh how I still miss him. We all went out for a meal in the evening though my hayfever was playing havoc with me. Exhausted and in bed by 10.
Up early and mooched around the house getting ready to go. Went and said hello and goodbye to Edna just as mother came and picked me up for the drive to Birmingham airport. Was home just in time to play for a bit and watch the world cup.
Lovely to go home even if its so short and sweet
