Testament to the Last Posting

As you can see it is really difficult to keep up the posts mainly because I am unable to access my blog at work (its a security thing apparently) So the time I get to be creative is limited outside work. Anyway I found time today because I am getting ready to go on holiday and as you do you find time when in "holiday mode". So where am I going you may ask well I am going with full compliment of family to Ireland, home of my ancestors allegedly! The story goes that the family tree can only be traced back to Ireland and a change of name because the Police were looking for my great great great uncle.... probably all blarney anyway I was probably related to the great Fin MacCumhail and his Fenians in olden times anyway still it will be great to get away and have some quality time with family and friends in Dunmore East County Waterford. The GCSE results are out tomorrow so Maria will be in early to meet her friends and get her results. I hope she does well as she has worked hard and really deserves to get her grades but as we have always said, it isn't the end of the world and even if she didn't get one grade, she could always take them again next year so there is no problem.

Lack of Posts

Now that am back at work it is really hard to keep posts up as the network will not allow access to the blog. Since I have been back I have been really tired which is unlike me. A couple of times I have coe home from work and just had to go to bed to wake some 3/4 hours later and then still being able to sleep through the night. Bodil says old age but I don't know. It is surprising how much hard work going to work is crazy really. Anyway apart fro the frustration around the network denying access to sites it is good to be back. Nothing has changed as far as the personnel are concerned exept for the fact that there is a new technical person who is involved in creating program stuff.
I am off today because I am so tired, I worked really hard yesterday moving tables and stuff (I know I should take it easy) but it is difficult when there is no one else around.

I have just signed a petition to free Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma. What a remakable person but what a cynical regime that is so frightened of this woman that they have to keep her locked up. China and Russia should hold their heads in shame at supporting such a weak Burmese regime.
