Hamm, Fies waschn, ...

saang un ze bedd. ... which roughly translates to "home, wash your feet, have a piss and off to bed". ... nothing could describe my current state of mind better than this old phrase, my Granny used to use :P

And off I am.

Palace of the Boyne

Morning!

Went up to Brú na Boinne yesterday (thats Newgrange for you :) and further on to beautiful Co. Cavan. Pictures will follow Sunday

Cáit wrote a very good post on this weekend as well.

Here are my pictures:

The exhibition in the visitors centre showed many ancient "things" :P

Boyne Valley impressions

Just like Southern Gardens...

Naw girls, ye can't possibly be fed up with me taking pictures? :)

Thats better :oD

and this is the famous Newgrange passage tomb with some of its inhabitants on a weekend-leave.

Why does my little sister look so scared? :P

Once a poser, always a poser :)

the monument and its Co. Meath surroundings

thats Lough Sillan near Shercock and the famous playground...

Dajana's trying to explain to Cáit, how to rock the wheel :P

Cáit swinging into the evening sun

Saturday/Sunday (I was back in Dublin making the money for our trip home) and C&D enjoyed the local lake Killarue :P

The meanwhile famous "lonely chair".

No Graduation for me this year

Went down to Carlow yesterday to get my repeat-exams results. I passes SE1 and I failed SE2 - so I won't graduate from ITC this year, instead I'll repeat SE2 in summer 2006 and hopefully I'll have my degree by autumn 2006.

It was kinda strange to be back in Carlow and at the college - moreover, it might have been the last time for quite a while. Tuesday I'll take the ferry over to Wales and by Sunday 25th I'll be back in Hof/Germany. I'll spend those last few days with friends and even though I'm pretty much broke, I'll try to make the best of them.

So, yeah ... this blog will be closed soon, my German blog can then be accessed from http://sven-s.blogspot.com - of course I'll continue writing in two languages.

Got my Irish German-Passport - gorgeous day

Hey - welcome back :)

got my German passport from the embassy in Booterstown today. *STRIKE* :P

It was a gorgeous day today - I drove on to the beach on my way back home - yeah right! Here you can drive ON the beach - no environmental protection regulation keeps you from spilling your engine oil in the sand and from crushing the crabs and bugs with your tyres. :-P
