Out with the old and in with the new!

So got made redundant after one week at little red hen and there are a few things that were unsettling me there anyway so it was a bit of a relief. So now I work at Little Treasures (don't ask what the names are all about I don't know what they're supposed to inspire). Karen who owns LT had offered me a job earlier but missed out as LRH got there first with more hours so I got back to her and she has kindly offered again. Initially it's less hours but in a couple of weeks it will be more than LRH were giving me and the place has a much nicer feel. LT has a maximum of 10 kids (it's tiny but functional) and runs a montessorri programme but not as ridgidly as LRH. Unfortunately there would be no work in August as the place is closed but I'm sure I'll find something to do with myself - maybe one of the regulars will need a nanny.

In other fronts the new flat is great. We've cleaned a lot and we still need to tackle the oven but the place is livable. We are loving cooking properly again, real food was so hard at the hostel in the communal kitchen. The flat has a dishwasher and it no longer costs us 8 euro to do washing! We can see the cathedral from the bedroom window and it's about 3 minutes walk to my new work. I've even started running again, people look at me as if I'm displaying criminal levels of enthusiasm but I don't know them and I'm thimking of playing a winter sport so i'd better get fit.

We went to mass this morning, much better than last week, less kneeling and more singing. The mumbling is great, get lost in the creed don't try and listen for a cue just give it up you're never gonna work out where they're up to. Also everything is mumbled at top speed - lordiamnotworthybutjustsaythewordandishallbehealed! as a result mass took 45minutes, shot!

So all is well in Galway and we hope all is well back home to, judgeing by the top story on stuff.co.nz being Paul Holme's daughter we can only assume things are quiet to say the least.

Love and hugs,
Aimee

Hello!! So I've saved your little blog address under favourites so we can check in regularly and catch up on Galway life.
Glad you've fallen straight into another job Aimee... and hopefully something jumps up for Emmett! We have no exciting news because we are boring Auckland people now - we traded our rights to an interesting life when we moved here. Take care lovely Geoghegans, we miss you!
