Georgy porgy!

As far as political statements go, this one is pretty explicit. Thankfully, for most of his concert, George Michael stuck to what he knows best ... belting out some amazing tunes which took us right back to Wham. SJ took a great clip during Careless whispers but the chick standing next to her was given it all she had, so all you can hear is some squeaky pom ... and no, I am not talking about George Michael. He really was Amazing!

No rest for the wicked ...

Blarney Castle, Cork

Less than 24 hours after arriving home from Turkey, we were back at the airport and gearing up for a bit of Irish craic. This time, the destination was Cork, chosen for no other reason except that we fancied some Guinness, we'd already been to Dublin and Belfast and we thought we might like a bit of blarney stone action, if you know what I mean.

Clearly, I enjoyed my time with the blarney. Although god knows I am not in need of the gift of the gab. But it is actually not as easy as it looks to hang upside down, and smack your lips on a bit of stone ...
