I could sleep for Ireland.

I could also stay up all night for Ireland.

I couldn’t manage much else for Ireland.

I’m always tired. I haven’t the energy to walk the dogs lately.

I lack motivation. I lack a reason to try to succeed.

I’m off to bed again.

The financial institutions are at it again.

This time their focus is on screwing the elderly.

Prime Time highlighted the abuse of our elderly citizens by banks tonight.

Permanent TSB came across as being blatant liars.

Have a look at the broadcast and judge for yourselves.

How Stuff Works ….. this site will do its best to show you how things work!

Just like Ronseal …. it does exactly what it says on the website!

I am the Principal of a rurally based primary school.

Pupils and staff have the opportunity to work in a location which is very beautiful.

Nature abounds around us. The beauty of the seasons can be observed at first hand.

The community in which the school is based is close knit and very supportive. The school is at the centre of the community and life revolves around it.

The Irish National Teachers’ Organisation today called on the government to clarify what funding if any, is available for school computing. The union’s General Secretary John Carr said the Taoiseach’s refusal to say if funding for new computers was available would come as a body blow to schools waiting nearly six years for government investment to upgrade clapped out computers.
“In computer terms that is two lifetimes of no money for school computers. Most school computers should be in museums not schools,” said Carr.
Mr Cowen was unable to confirm to the Dail today if the commitment in the NDP that €252 million would be spent on school computing was going ahead.
John Carr said there must be no doubts about this matter. “Either the money is there or it’s not,” he said. “If it is, it must be paid to schools straight away. If it’s not then government must admit publicly to parents and teachers that it has broken another promise on primary education.”
Mr Carr said Irish primary schools already lag well behind their EU counterparts when it comes to IT investment. “Our level of funding is only a fraction of what is spent in the north,” he said. “A digital border is beginning to divide our island.” Only last December, Mr Cowen, in his budget speech told the Dail that postponing or delaying the NDP would be a major policy error and specifically stated education would be included in the main elements of the capital investment programme for 2008. Today he was unable to confirm if the planned investment in Information and Communication Technology in schools would go ahead as planned.

It’s now official!

Living alone I miss the home cooked dinner. I miss the dinner and the ‘family’ time it allows.

My mother was a great person for cooking a dinner every day.

We were always assured of a proper hot meal for dinner.

Some dinners I hated ….. I miss them now.

I’ve been mulling over my ‘arrangements’.

I like to be organised so it’s logical that I organise my will and my funeral etc.

My dogs have it good ….. fed, watered, walked …. they don’t have to work.

It reminds me of the Mars ad ….. for (not) work, rest and play!
