days off

had a fabtastic time on wednsday and thursday - my two days off - i went to cork and then through to glengariff little port town to visit vicky from SA. stayed on the catamaran with her and her skipper beau. drank cider and played scrabble till early hours (she beat me). then back to cork to stay with mom's cousins, they live 20 minutes outside city in little port town called cobh (pronounced cove) with a cathedral on a hill above tall colourful houses. very sweet - fed me roast chickem and i watched my second cousins wedding video. i'm welcome there any time, and i would love to go back and hang out there with them some more. back in galway for film festival - hopefully i'll meet some interesting people, and then the arts festival should keep me busy till august - when i think its the edinburg film fest - and i might meet up with lin there cos she is on her merry way to inkland as we speak - can't believe it.

love to you all
