hi, thanx again to those of u who posted further thoughts/advice/encouragement re. our possible move to dublin. i'll come back to this topic again in more detail (it is of course a major possibility, topic or "thing" in our lives right now), but for now let me just say that it is gradually looking more & more likely to happen! ... but probably not until about end of this year .... ?



anyhow, i bought a new tie last friday! it looks like this:

i don't wear ties very often - well, maybe once every month or two or so ... and i don't think i've bought a new one for about two and a half years. the main inspiration to buy this one was so that i could wear it to the wedding of a very good friend of my wife & i, which happened last saturday. there were so many different ties to choose from, some of them too expesnive in my opinion; but i'm happy with my choice ... what do u think?

the wedding was great - alot of fun: good friends, venue, food & music (live jazz band), great craic! and of course, no shortage of beverages .... and, predicatbly, i did over-indulge a little - but luckily not quite too much! perhaps in hindsight i could have survived without the last 6-7 drinks or so; but gee i thought i really needed them at the time! i'll blame those last few drinks on all those silly sentimental hugs & raspberry kisses on the cheek i was dishing out at the ned there ... ;-D
