Ma found out that I had the virus, she was livid. I can't believe you didn't tell me. Tell you what? (shite, I knew she'd go mad) You know what. You had the covid and never told me, your own mother. I didn't want to worry you ma. I'm your mother, worrying is what mothers … Continue reading Maisie

Living next door to Alice #AtoZ
So in order for me to catch up with the AtoZ challenge, I’m going to cheat a bit and recycle a couple of my old AtoZ blogs. Alice still lives next door with her dog, Sunny who still shites in our garden ( Sunny, not Alice). Poor Larry Gogan lord rest him has died since. … Continue reading Living next door to Alice #AtoZ
Knocking on Heaven’s door…#AtoZ
I'm way behind on my AtoZ posts this year but I hope I'm excused as I haven't been feeling the Mae West lately and have been tested for "The Covid" as Maisie calls it.

Just like that… #AtoZ
Maisie rang me...again. Mr. Kelly died. Aww no. Was it from Covid19? Yes, I told you it would be. Young Joseph was in touch with the hospital from Boston. He rang Eileen to let the neighbours know.

They make videos of … Continue reading Girls just wanna have fun #AtoZ

Ma rang me...again, I knew she couldn't resist. Joe Kelly up the road was taken off in an ambulance. Aww no, I hope he's OK. I got the message on my Watsapp. God love him. We'll never see him again. It's a one way ticket to the hospital these days. Especially at his age. Don't … Continue reading Final Destination #AtoZ

D is for duty free #AprilAtoZ 2020
We always had a day out in the pub with the gang on St. Patrick's day. Not this year, but. All the pubs were ordered to close two days beforehand on the 15th March. Imagine the pubs being closed on St. Paddy's day. It's for the best, Jimmy. No parade either. You haven't been to … Continue reading D is for duty free #AprilAtoZ 2020
