Yesterday morning we went to meeting at Nigels parents house. There are so many kids in the meeting...I think i counted 12 under the age of 9. Its a very nice meeting though, i still have a hard time understanding the accents, but it's getting better. After meeting we came home and had lunch and then just hung out until the gospel meeting at 7:30. Edgar Lowe is in their field along with a new brother who just started in the work at convention time in July this year. I think Edgar must have been at a convention at home because he looks really familiar and his name is familiar as well. I think they are coming for dinner on saturday, so i will have to ask him. After gospel meeting we went to Nigels parents for tea and quiche and then came home and put the kids to bed. The kids have all had a head cold thats going around and i ended up with is too, so i went to bed fairly early last night in hopes that i could sleep it off.
Today was my day off, so i slept most of the morning which helped with my cold quite a bit. Then in the afternoon Nigel gave me a ride to Kinsale, so I walked around for a few hours and looked at all the different shops. Its definitely a touristy town and the prices reflect it, but it was still nice and i was able to get a few things. I found it kind of strange though because when you walk into a shop, no one greets you. They just kind of stare at you, so it was somewhat awkward. It was pretty overcast today though, and it started raining so i went into a little cafe called vista. The girl working came and asked me what i wanted to drink, so i asked her if they had a drink menu and she said no...so i just said tea. I figured that was a safe bet. So she brought me my tea and a little menu, so i got some bread and hummous and read my book for awhile to kill some time.
Nigel picked me up from Kinsale around 6, and then we made a quick stop so he could repair someones lawn mower. Leaving their house we drove down the narrowest road yet...the mirrors on both sides of the van where hitting the brush on the side of the road. But the best part was the speed limit was 80kmh. Its very easy to get nervous while riding in the car becasue first of all, your sitting on the opposite side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road, but the roads are extremely narrow and people drive so fast...or maybe it just seems fast to me. =)
When we got home, the kids had just finish dinner and were playing. Cormac wasnt home, but Harvey and Rhia were running around playing. Shirley has a new fake cry that she does, and she keeps it up until someone picks her up. It seems that she is always either laughing or crying...theres not a lot inbetween, but luckily theres more laughing. Shirley went to bed around 7:30 and Rhia and Harvey around 8:00, so now ill probably just read my new book or go to bed fairly soon.
I took some pictures in Kinsale today. The pictures do absolutely no justice, but you can kind of see what im enjoying!
