Those fecken ducks. So aggressive. They were chasing us for the bread. I hadn’t done an official santy visit before so was pretty appalled at â‚¬13 per head charge (and we had brought a niece and nephew for a visit so eeek â‚¬52.)
However atmosphere was great and we got a lovely tree and went for the hot chocolates, which were a bit watery but the children loved them. The dogs caused problems for poor J who has never recovered from being terrorised by them on our walks last year. But other than that – hell of a lot better than some shopping centre hell.

Got myself an audience ticket for Q & A tonight, not planning a visit to the hair doctor though, that might be a mistake.

Anyway. Enough of the stuff about hair and politics. Let’s get back to the matter at hand – Donadea Forest Park. We were there today. â‚¬13 per head to visit Santa – don’t bring kids with more than one head. Queues no longer than three families at three (tree?) today. “Gifts” worth about a fiver but that’s not bad these days. Excellent choice of Yule trees – wrapped in netting for ease of transport. Ducks demanding double rations – the cold weather probably, and/or benchmarking.

Best things: Entrance to the park free for the festive season. Everyone friendly (but that’s normal).
Worst things: Damned cold. Better after dark with the lights hung from the trees. Crappy music. Coffee still gank (yeah, I forgot my own advice and had one).

Well it is approaching the season of good will, Liam and and in any case I believe in giving credit where its due. The girl was good and thats all there is to it. No conversions necessary on either side.

No one ever remembers what I say on Q&A – EVERY time, the post-show discussion focuses on the hair. I think its funny

Liam, its all a matter of degree. And the weird way my neurosis function. More of that another time

Hi Sarah

What’s going on here? I haven’t around for a few weeks and I come back and you’re blowing kisses to Crewser and he’s telling you you’re brill – have one of you been converted??! What next? And how long will it last?

donkykemore, I agree with you; there is no accounting for taste. That said, some punctuation wouldn’t go amiss. It might make your posts marginally easier to read.

Er, you have a fine head of hair, Sarah!

If Sarah were a man I wonder would there be as much discussion of her hair? (Which, incidentally, was lovely).

I am particularly suspicious of men making comments on your hair by the way.

It’s like female politicians – people always comment on their appearance and rarely on their male colleagues’. Paying someone a compliment is fine, but I can never understand criticism or its relevance. Particularly the facile argument often raised about Mary Harney – e.g. how can she run the Dept of Health, look at the state of her etc.

Eoin is the biz BUT the blow dry was done locally. He did the hair last week, so no aspersions cast.
