Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
This is depressing, it rains almost every single day here in Ireland. The temperature has dropped also and we had some hail the last two days! I discovered that the address in my lease contract isn’t complete, I needed to add the street. That means I will have some delays for my PPS number since […]

Extremely good show! I am watching ep3 as I am writing this post. I knew I recognised the main character, Dexter, but I had to read on IMDB that he was in “Six Feet Under”. I met more people at the pool. The world is small at the pool but here in this HUGE high […]

I spent about 150 euros in taxi in order to check different places. So far it is a waste of my money. I bought a mobile and I like my new toy. A nice Nokia that has everything. It makes things easier of course. I am feeling so lost and so tired. What is good […]
