more stuff

i actually had more to say last time blogged i just forgot.

firstly thou - i had a great day at the aran islands - the western most point of europe. inishmore is the largest one by far and i caught a ferry over - hired a bike and clycled to a fort - had my spar sandwich and then cycled along the inland road with an old irish man on a rusty bike complaining about the cars and buses together.
yes, i clea, got on a bike - its true you don't forget how - and did a 10 k or so cycle - exercise - on a bike. i then acceidentally said to this old irish man "thanks for the ride together" now "ride" in ireland means shag, etc. which of course i knew and had been reminded about before - so i was a little embarrassed and quickly cycled off down the hill.

what i didn't mention last blog - is that i have been doing a bit of steam cleaning int he ktichen. ie scrapinga nd steaming and scrubbing grease out of say, extractor fans or kitchen cupboards (which are called presses here). so as i was standing on that chair enveloped in clouds of steam with bits of grease dripping onto my arms, I thought you know i am domestic worker. (i also thought - this kitchen clearly hasn't been so thouroughly cleaned in years) and at the end of that day - after i muttered something apologetic about the bits of grease still splattered to the now relatively shiny black surfaces - my boss said i had done a good job. and it made all the difference. i'm never taking house work for granted again - say thank you to your domestic worker.

peace out
