This n' That

Firstly, only one more sleep until our trek up Lugnaquillia and as usual I am completely unprepared. No waterproof clothing, no boots, no gloves etc. The only requirement I have are my legs! The weather forecast is looking good and whilst it will be bitterly cold, we should have a clear sunrise so great photos shall be taken for all to see.

On another note, I heard an interesting article on the radio this morning. Yes, our little country is in a bad way. Yes, there is a lot of unemployment out there. Yes, the winter has been very tough. BUT! Spring is here, we have a new government and let's look at what we have rather than what we have not. If you are one of the many unemployed, don't see it as a disaster. Look at it as an opportunity. Don't make it an obsession as you will just burn yourself out. Do your research, job hunting etc in the morning and then bring the kids to the park in the afternoon, get out in your garden, take up a hobby. Do things that previously you never had the time for.

And for an extra feel good factor, give a couple of your hours to a charity. Pick one close to your heart and help others who need you. Whether it's your time or your experience you will be very much appreciated.
