Weekend Update

I went to a festival in Taylor's village this weekend. Paul dropped me at her house on Friday (I wasn't quite ready to make the drive on my own) and we went down to the pitch where the festival events were going on. There was entertainment for the kids, and an tug-0-war competition going on that night so we stuck around to watch. Saturday we went into Mallow and did some shopping. I finally got a blow dryer and hair straightener which I was pretty excited about. It was a pretty low key day just shopping and then taking a rest in the afternoon. Then at 6 we went down to see the kids in the fancy dress parade. The costumes were great, and the kids had a great time. Taylor and I had to get Gill to explain some of the costumes to us because we didn't understand the humor behind some of them.

Last night was also the dance in the hall. Gill was on the committee for the festival so she had to be there early to set up, so Tay and I went with Kiran to the pubs in town before heading in for the dance. They were all really crowded, and we could tell most of the people were wondering who we were. We had a great time though and it was fun to meet all the people that I have heard so much about from Taylor.

I just got back to my house a few minutes ago, and am about to take a nap! I hope everyone is okay after Irene, from the updates I have gotten it seems like everyone is doing okay. The storm is all over the news here, and everyone was asking us about it last night.
