My everything hurts…

Well I’m now officially down to just one job. I finished up at Chambers on the weekend, and got to go out on a good note, with a company party involving all four bars in the group; Chambers, Reardens, Havana Browns and Rafterz.

With a group of about 40-50 from the 4 bars, we went up to Tralee and went Paint-Balling. Gotta say it was a hell of a lot of fun. Never done it before and really glad I took the time off my day job to go do it – but damn ya pay for it! Got hit in the head causing quite a lump on my forehead, and pretty much every other part of me was hit at some point. I actually nearly went out on a massive high, making it all the way to the opposition hut before falling on my arse at the last second and having to surrender to two gunmen! Once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Afterwards, we of course headed to Reardens where everyone proceeded to get plastered – myself included – and I can tell you I’m paying for it today at my day job, trying to pretend like I’m at all with it.

The backpacker network is in full swing at the moment, with a good friend of a good friend I made in Edinburgh staying with me while she gets settled. I guess that makes me the ‘settled’ one at the moment? Scary!

I’m heading off to see Bel and Mark at the Beehive (www.beehivepub.com) on Thursday and I’m really looking forward to it. Having worked 2 jobs for the last 3 months I think its time I got a break – 6 days off is just what I need!

I thought ahead and had a package delivered from the Australia Shop (australiashop.co.uk). Cant wait to get some Twisties, Burger Rings and…BBQ Shapes!

So things are definitely changing here. Katrina has left Cork and gone on her travels for the summer leaving just myself, Alison and Sophie in our little Aussie clique. And with me having weekends off now for the first time in months, I’m gonna be using them, heading to Dublin and Galway in the weeks after I get back from England, and then enjoying the rest of my time in Cork.
