Hurrah! February has finally arrived! To celebrate the official beginning of spring I am making a conscious effort to enjoy the small things in life. The following exciting things happened today:
-Three brilliant songs played one after the other on the random play on my MP3
-All the traffic lights went green as I drove home from work
-It stopped snowing long enough that I could go for a cold, but bracing, walk at lunchtime
-I’ve officially created a nickname for the recession/economy: It shall be known from now on as the Duck.
I’ve also managed to get roped into signing on for tag rugby and salsa class. I’m not sure how as I’ve no idea of the rules of one, no rhythm for the other and at the moment feeling less than enthusiastic for either of them. Maybe if I practice hard enough I can dance my way around the tag team and avoid being tackled? Onto a more familiar topic, I went to my first gig in Dublin since Australia, “The Streets” in the Olympia. It was fantastic; the band were full of energy, spitting out the lyrics and stage diving, the audience grinned and bounced up and down inanely, vodka red-bull raining from the ceiling – magic! Great antidote to the general misery generated by the media here talking non-stop about Ducks.
