Spring!

I've been a horrible blogger these past few weeks, and I promise that posts will be coming on our trips to Dublin and Connemara. Today, however, it's chilly but sunny and the house is alive. I've just learned why people no longer wash their clothes by hand, though I'm proud to have a collection of socks and tank tops sitting under my bathroom heater, and Zoe and Riona (room/housemates) are downstairs mopping. They went to the store today and bought flowers and candles for the living room! I'm about to go join them and make some scones because we are embracing the family attitude and it feels like spring.
