8th of March Blog update

My mother has been visiting me for the past week. It has been great to have her here 🙂 It was also a great opportunity for me to take few days off and take her around Dublin as well as on a short trip in to the west of Ireland. This actually did test my blogging a bit 😉 I had a great idea to write weeks worth posts before, but sometimes when you try to force your self to write something without the real deadline, it just will not happen. So I need up writing this weeks posts between taking my mom around and playing my regular sessions.

But still, when the push comes to shove, you get it done 😉 So here is all this weeks blog posts:
