Sunday 19 Aug

Last night finished late enough at about 3:30, with a few people coming back to Steve & Kelly's place. Feeling slightly hung over most of the day spent vegging in front of the tv before going over to Steve's parents for a barbeque. Felt a bit like being at home in Ireland, mostly thanks to the weather, barbeque cooked outside and ate inside! Paul & Philo are fellow North County Dubliners, from Skerries and Rush, but have been out in this part of the world for quite a while. We had a nice bit of steak, washed down with some of the wine from the Swan Valley. It felt like being at home (in Ireland) for dinner, and was great to meet Steve's parents who certainly made me feel at home. Paul & Philo still have their Irish accents intact. Apparently at work, Steve has to act as intrepreter for anyone who can't understand his Dad's Irish accent!
