Pretty in Pink

Goddamit.  Everyone is watching the Olympics and, like a muppet, I gave myself a couple of minutes on Pinterest.  Two hours ago.  But look what I found.  Isn't it beautiful.  It's a pretty in pink Dumbo Octopus.  Nature rocks.  Man.

The benefit of avoiding thinking about something is . .

. . . you end up with a very tidy house and the Borrowed Boy begs for mercy ("no more walking, Niamh??") as you drag him back out to walk to the shops.  Again.
It's my mam's anniversary today.  15 years since I've seen her and .. well, it gets easier but sadder too because you can't remember sounds and smells, but that is life.
It's also her birthday and I know, like, REALLY KNOW she would love these little geezers as much as I do.  I saw them yesterday in our local Pet Shop and they blew me away.  They look like something from Totoro, one of the best movies ever btw.  
They're a type of Salamadar called Axoloti and they are freakishly beautiful.  I want them and I know my ma would want them too.  Look at the little fronds on their heads???  I mean, have you ever seen anything so pretty?  
So Mam, Happy Birthday wherever you are.  Feel free to stop by and see us enjoy the cake we're having on your behalf.

Everyone is c-c-c-coughing

Both # 2 and 3 have croup.  Aaagh.  Thanks to advice from the lovely Urban Stems I am keeping the heat on in the bedrooms and keeping it on low and, touch wood, that's helping.  But God, the coughing.  It's awful.
No other news as such.  Had a lovely afternoon in the phoenix park with the boys and dog.  Then got completely fleeced in the Interpretive Centre for 3 small hot chocolates and 2 coffees.  €26!!  1 cookie, 2 muffins and a beetroot and chocolate slice for me.  Is that expensive or am I naive?
I was meant to be working the market in Balbriggan.  Myself and M had a stall organised where we were going to be selling our wares.  It got cancelled yesterday at 3pm which was a complete and utter pisser as I had stayed up all night before making bloody fairycupcakes.  Still, it could've been worse.  I could have iced them!
Our puddings are going to be the big hit I think and that's what we're going to go hell for leather on.  
Too tired to be either funny or insightful so going to go now rather than bore you further.  Nice of me, eh?
Here you go though, some fab photos of the snow.  Some fab photos of our puddins too.
Stay warm, drink lots of tea and enjoy both.

Moon, I love the moon

A friend of mine, Joe Howard, took this photo.  Talented boy.

Ireland at night - How peaceful and pretty it all looks
