Well I had my first driving lesson yesterday! It was the first time i was ever behind the wheel of a car and was nervous but once I seen the driver instructor pull up at my house in a reno clio My nerves melted away. She took me to a nice quiet strench of road near my house and i started driving and omg i love it. There was no road markings on this road so for the first 5 minutes i was nearly in the ditch trying to keep in but i got used to it. Of course it was a bit embarrassing to have tractors passing you out but hey im a learner and ill get used to it! Next lesson on Wednesday and cant wait!
Going to see Mamma Mia tonight! I have mixed views about going to see this Im not really a musical fan but I like Abba so thought might as well go and see it. Im going to see it with one of my oldest friends but usually when i go to the cinema with her we usually end up been disappointed with the film we pick so hoping tonight it'll be different!
Tomorrow the Dubs are playing in the All Ireland Quarter Final against Tyrone. This is the game we have to win in order to become serious All Ireland Contenders. Last time we played Tyrone in 2005 it was an epic two game battle as we drew in the first round. Unfortunately we lost the second game and Tyrone went on to win the All Ireland. Up the Dubs!

Since I have my license from America, when I was living in Ireland I was able to rent a car when I went west and visited Galway.
OMG!!! CRAZY!!
First there's the whole "opposite side of the road" thing...that's hard to get used to, especially in round abouts (or traffic circles)
Secondly, on the back roads of the Connemara coast I was actually stopped (and accosted) by a ram and his sheep!!! It was a stand off, and the animals won!
Then, I was driving on this supposed two lane road which was barely big enough for one car, let alone oncoming traffic, and a truck (lorry) came screaming round the corner, forcing me (the smaller car) over the side of the road into the brambles.
All in all though, I'd say it was a great experience!!!!
Be safe, have fun and um...always give right of way to lorries that are bigger than you!!!!
