Galway - pretty, old. Rainy, but nice. With my mammy. Had seafood for dinner (atlantic salmon, melted in mouth) and then listened to some people having a traditional irish jam session.

Totally my fault we didn't get here until 6pm. Pissed around all morning (after rising at relatively early hour of 10), went for run and spent ages organising myself. Then got stuck in traffic. Nevermind!

Am going to blow out budget here in spectacular fashion. Only thing more expensive than living in Ireland is going on holiday in Ireland. And have yet to inform work I am off for one day again next month (Tallinn with Staples) and four days in October (Turkey with Kitty). Too. Bloody. Bad.
