I was out for a gentle stroll to keep the legs moving before the Waterford half marathon this weekend. When I say gentle, think barely moving or a fast walk. As one local wag said to me before when I was out running “I thought you did a bit of running” as much as to
What a fantastic day out there. Even the seagulls have a spring in their step with the warm sunshine and full bellies. Last week we looked at securing Income Tax refunds and how you can go back four years. In case you missed it click here This week we are going to look at a
4 Year Rule We may not get to Portugal this year, but a touch of Portugal is stopping by this weekend. An Azores high I understand. Fry an egg on the bonnet of the car stuff, but not my own car of course! Scorching temperatures on the way. People grappling for the last packet of
There’s a spring in the step of the Tramore seagulls this morning. They have heard about the abolition of the inter county travel ban. More people equals more food. Happy days. Hair will get back to normal in two weeks and we will be more beautiful again. Bouncers that worked in pubs could get a

I am meandering my way through Sean Gallagher’s book ‘Secrets to Success’. The book is excellent. The focus is on the success stories of many Irish businesses that we know something about, but not a lot. I recently read about Done Deal. It was set up in 2005 by Fred Karlsson and his wife Geraldine
It’s great to see a stretch in the evenings and brighter days following the near monsoon earlier in the week. A lot of very stressed-out parents are ecstatic that their little pride and joys and going back to school. Food bills will fall and relaxing tea breaks will rise. The hair is gone beyond ridiculous.
Wow, what a morning out there! That’s wet rain in its truest sense. A flock of wet seagulls were stuck to the balcony window this morning. They had that look of disappointment. Knowing they made a mistake coming back from their holidays in Africa too early. It’s week 11 now without a haircut. My locks
