I am so thankful that this past week was much less eventful than the previous! However, it did start out with a bit of panic before school on Monday. I had forgotten to ring the insurance company to extend coverage for the car we were loaned from the garage, so I was unable to drive the car over the weekend and had to ring them first thing when they opened on Monday morning.

And I must listen well. Because I am a Good Boy. The sheep eat grass. They love to eat grass... lots of it! Not for m

I’m feeling grateful today that I don’t live in a city or built up area. Just over ten days ago, our Covid restrictions were increased to Level 5 again here in Ireland, though thankfully there have been some changes to the businesses that are affected this time round. Back during the summer when we were all staying and working from home - all for the greater good - there were a huge number of businesses that had to stay closed as the services they were providing were deemed ‘
