Livin' la vida loca.
A minor mid-week venture was undertaken this week as we went out to see Shrek 3. It's another great movie in the series and I urge you all to go and see it when it reaches your fair shores.
On Friday, one of the girls in the office was going out to town to play a gig and was inviting people to join her for support, we were eager so expressed our interest. It was on in a little bar in Chinatown, and while it was a little quiet and run down, it wasn't going to hold us back. The night was a good success and it's always good to get out with work colleagues away from work. We had a few journeys around New York once people started leaving the bar, ultimately ending up in the apartment of a work mate before getting a taxi home well into the morning.
Friday had had it's say; Saturday was a none starter. As much as I tried to muster up some ummpf and get myself out the door, the body said no.
On Friday night, the taxi-driver had reminded me about the upcoming Puerto Rico Parade and so I decided that was my goal for Sunday. Up early and out the door, I headed for the city. While I didn't exactly know where I was aiming for, once I got into NYC it was quite clear which direction I needed the head; the one in which the wave of white, blue and red bellowed. It turned out to be a good day out and the Hispanic people proved to be quite entertaining.
Crazy guy on his skates moves in for the kill.
Success.
Wow, just wow.
OMG! RICKY! *Swoon*
Prepare to be deafened.
It's just wrong in every way.
He's onto me! Sketch!
And who's this we have... (Jennifer Lopez, just in case)
It was for me! I know it was!
Very cool.

Looks like you had a tiring but coulurful week. By the wnder of the internet I can access this form Skei Norway. The weater here is brilliant too. High temperatures and dry ...so far... we are heading steadily North and the weather furth along is wet and surprise surprise...cold. Anyway we are making the baes of what we have now and doing our best to avoid a suntan. We were stopped by the police literally within a kilometre of our start in Norway - at 09:00 - but they decided not to do a breath test one they were happy our papers were in order. Yesterday we 'did' a glacier today we make our way up the cost courtesy of five ferry crossings: weather outsiede is clear again so we will sdispense with the lining of the bike suits. Speed limit here is 90 kph on motorways and 80 on good roads both of which are stricly enforced so acidents are lower than in Ireland. Have a good week. Get planning next weekend now .. in the meantime I should reach the Arctic by then. Dad
That parade looked great fun and, yes, Jennifer was definitely looking at you?!! I think your Dad is really getting into Norway as I see he is now speaking 'the broken English'!! Still, good to see he had his priorities right and got to read your blog. Seamus is in Ballinskelligs but don't know if the internet goes that far!! Weather here has been glorious the last few days but understand it is due to break tomorrow....maybe. Have a good week!
I was beginning to wonder myself if John had taken to the sup in my absence.
Fussy lot aren't ye. Seems I need to be word perfect no matter what the challenges. As ye are awaer by now, we reached the Arctic Circle today: a day ahead of schedule. Weather turned on us after my last comment and threw torrential rain, wind and hail at us for the longest days. But we survived..and soldiered on. Having a great time and now at our most Northerly point - Bødo. Have to find Richie's internet cafe here. On Saturday we start to head South again. By then Andrew, we will have another Government and you wil be into another weekend. Have a great one.
