Rather than repeat myself in two separate replies (), I think I'll try and do one combined one...let's see how it goes...
Hmm...(Colette), I don't think either of us are prudes - but surely there are times and places! I spent a fair amount of time thinking about that chap's wife - I would be...uncomfortable (to say the least) if I knew that my DH was telling strangers (telling ANYBODY really) what time we...ahem. When I wrote this report I tried to touch on that situation at the bookstore as lightly as I could. But you know me now - I was...sick until we left the city the following morning. My brain would just NOT allow me to think of anything else. But one of the many great things about being a mother? You have to go on - I think if it had just been me I would have holed up in the hotel room and dwelt. The baseball game WAS a good distraction, though - I have MANY, MANY snaps of Poot copying the statues. A week from tonight we'll be at "Rod Carew Bobblehead Night" at Target Field. Back to misery...when I read what Poot wrote - "She was angry at me - but I hadn't done anything wrong." - I did cry. He brought that day up to me only last week - so perhaps it affected him more than I thought at the time. The cop, though - I think that might have been the worst of it. I have an old, OLD friend who did twenty years with the LAPD - and it DAMAGED him, there's no other way to say it. (Abby), I worked in a bookshop for four or five years - and yep, we were robbed at gunpoint one night. My father was still alive then - I don't know that I ever saw him so distressed. I'd seen guns in the club(s) many times - but I tell you, when someone is pointing a shotgun at you...that's a different story. No trippie as good as mine...honestly...you're just trying to make up for saying I talk too much about coronation chicken and carrot cake, aren't you? Well...keep it up. PS: Now that you've guessed about the shamrock tattoo, I can stop photoshopping it out. Edited at 09:41 AM. |

I wanted to tell you both that I have started my food report.
Actually, I felt a bit shy about saying it and kind of thought you might want to make your own minds up about what you read on the Dibb, but anyway...if you get a chance to pop over to the food reports and take a look then I would love to see you there. Shall I or shan't I post? This reply has been sitting while I debate in my head with myself. Perhaps I over think things! You probably know that already. Ok, here goes.

Well that was all a bit dramatic wasn't it? Sounds like you handled it as well as you could all things considered. Certainly from reading Poot's recollections you did a great job as he didn't put too much emphasis on that particular part of the day in his report. I must admit that I would probably have retreated to the hotel until it was time for the train the next morning. Good on you for getting on with your plans.
Leaving that aside, I'm so pleased that the match was a fun event, in spite of the loss for your team. I love Poot's snaps with the statues. Us Irish do get spotted where-ever we go, don't we? In my case the giveaway is my ginger hair. That and the leprechaun outfit! |

Mick-Spotting: For Fun & Profit
When we were in Scotland for the gymnastics, Poot proudly wore his "Irish" shirt to support young Rhys McClenaghan - and was utterly delighted to be featured on the big screen at the venue. But the ginger lasses did get the most screen time, no doubt about it. Thinking back to what a crap day that was (in Maryland), I'm so grateful that it didn't seem to affect Poot long-term. He brought it up a couple of weeks ago (when we were talking about going to Baltimore for something else) but it was pretty casual ("Remember that CRAZY lady, Mother? She sure was crazy.") so I felt rather proud of myself for not hiding (like I wanted to). And (as you can see) I am even thinking about going BACK. Who's the crazy lady now, eh? |
