The party countdown has begun...

Well, how quickly has that year gone by??!! Instead of having almost 12 months to plan the sister's party, I now have 4 days - help!! Lots of the planned work has been done, but all of a sudden there is a lot left to be done and very little time in which to do everything. It looks like the weather is not going to be kind to us - none of the forecasts are exactly predicting sunshine and if the last few weeks are anything to go by, its going to continue to be one of the wettest Augusts in Dublin since records began. The most hopeful forecast was the MSN one, but even it has now given up the ghost on predicting sunshine for the 23rd - and the best we can hope for is a cloudy cool evening - not exactly BBQ weather. Crowding over 50 people into the house will be an interesting experience....

Ah well, the guna (dress to the non-Irish speakers!) has been bought, the teach (house) will be clean, the bia (food) will be good (I hope!), and the fion (wine) will go down very well. The ceol (music) will be live and lively, the daoine (guests) will be on for the craic (all want to have a good time), so I'm going to stop being imnioch (anxious) and just get on with it!!
