You can't see it, but Dara and myself have a little stash each of The Fat Gherkin's famous caramel squares to take away. This shot, which then I instagrammed just for the fun of it. Posterity, and thankfully Olwyn, the proprietor, was on hand to snap So of course, being blog divas, we had to capture the moment for (In case you're interested, IMHO they're so wrong, they're right.)
#BITCH CLOCKED ME WITH A SMOOVIE HOW TO#
Then, quite by chance, we heard that Avril Keyes who writes the wonderful School Gate Style blog was ALSO in da house! Who knew The Fat Gherkin was such a magnet for bloggers? I adore Avril's blog, and amongst other things, I've learned how to tie a scarf in numerous different ways, got a heads up on the upcoming Boden and M&S sales, and had my say in the ongoing wedge trainer debate.
(L-R) Me, Dara and Avril and no, the floor isn't ACTUALLY at that angle! (Although as toddlers do, she and Luke steadfastly ignored each other the entire time!) Coincidentally, she too has four boys and a girl, so we'd loads to chat about and I even got to meet her adorable three year old daughter Olivia. We've been buddies on Twitter until now, and I LOVE her blog- she's so creative and inspiring-you wouldn't believe the things that girl can do with a spray gun! (In stark contrast, you'll be a long time waiting to see any crafts on my blog- I'm so rubbish at them, I start to twitch when the play dough comes out). Last week, I had arranged to meet, for the first time IRL (In Real Life!) the lovely Dara who writes the fabulous crafty blog- Mum of all Trades. ( Check him out throwing a few moves to the endlessly popular 'Sleeping Bunnies'!)īeforehand though, to suitably fortify myself (caffeine drip anyone?), we often go to my very favourite spot in Moira- The Fat Gherkin- for a smoothie (him) and a latte (me). Recently Luke and myself have started going to a JO Jingles music class on a Friday morning in Moira, and I gotta tell you, its's a big hit. Have a fabulous, frivolous Friday, my Loveliesxxx Sure, it would surely have been a sin not to!Ĭome to Mamma, my precious darlings.Now the only question is, which ones to wear tonight? Sparkles, spikes, zebra print AND in the sale. So, with all that going on already, you can imagine that it was almost TOO much to bear, when I came home to find these little beauties waiting patiently for me. I know! My cup runneth over and I'm excited-can you tell? Yay!! There'll be candlelight and steaks and wine and with no nappywipesbibtoycarssippycup, I'll even get to carry that little fancy handbag instead of my usual enormous sack. Today's a good day, for not only is it Friday which always gives it an edge over, say, a Tuesday, but I had coffee, craic and home made muffins with good friends-a perfect combination, don't you think? Friday also means NO HOMEWORK which we ALL love, so I've just popped in 'Stuart Little' for the little 'uns and now I'm about to catch up on those 'Housewives of NYC.' Better and better, non?Īnd if THAT'S not enough, Himself and myself are off out on a date tonight.
