I thought that cats were supposed to have nine lives, but sadly, ours only had one.
We only had Tiger for a few months, but in that short time, he managed to change my whole opinion of cats (previously I was never a fan). He showed me that amidst their seemingly snobby exterior, a cat can [...]
Last weekend (the one that happened 9 days ago… not yesterday) we had our house warming / Kristy’s birthday party and it was a really great night.
The group consisted mainly of family and a few close friends which worked-out well because there was a reasonable amount of mingling (we feared that by having an event [...]
The last 8 weeks have been the busiest, most stressful, most eventful and most fulfilling 8 weeks I think I’ve ever been through.
In this time, Kristy and I have booked an overseas holiday to go and visit Con, Gerard and Chris in the UK (as well as spending some time sight-seeing in France and Italy).
We [...]
Merry Christmas Everyone! (or if I were to be more politically correct I should wish everyone a very merry non-denominational holiday season).
The last few days have been fairly busy (as I’m sure is the case for nearly everyone) - we started our festivities on Christmas Eve. I knocked-off work at around lunch-time and Kristy’s [...]
Thanks for the feedback on my last post - based on your suggestions, I’m going to keep related posts together, but otherwise churn-out a post or two everyday for the next couple of weeks to bring everyone up-to-speed with what’s been happening in the world of Pete lately.
A few weeks ago my Grandmother passed away. [...]
Last Thursday night I attended another networking event (which you can read more about here)… It was a lot of fun and afterwards there was a small group of 5 of us that hung around and partied-on.
Over the weekend Kristy’s Dad (and family) came to stay with us. It has taken a few years [...]
Once again it’s been a while since my last post so I thought I better get something written before I start receiving messages from friends asking if things are ok. True story - last time I took a while to make a post, a friend emailed me to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong. [...]
When it’s your girlfriend’s birthday, make sure the first thing you do when you wake-up is wish her a happy birthday.
Now this doesn’t sound too tricky, but so far I’ve stuffed this up a couple of times over the years and this year was one of them.
Not to act as an excuse, but to give [...]
On Mother’s Day we spent lunch with my family. The last time our family gathered was at Easter and as this wasn’t long after Mum & Dad had moved into their new house, we took the opportunity to try-out the various facilities of their new “lifestyle / retirement village”.
We played pool / [...]
When Dad married Mum they had their house in Booval built. Over the years the house has seen numerous extensions and upgrades, as well as being the place that all 3 of my sisters, my brother and I grew-up in and re-visited for many a family gathering.
I know that the place has seen its [...]
