Radiohead in Malahide Castle: Superb. Venue, Act, Company. All excellent. Need to see them indoors soon. It’s on the list!

Cork loss? As good as a Kilkenny victory. I’m singing Slievenamon.

Call me bitter, but it was Tipp’s first victory against Cork in the Munster Championship in 85 years. Shame the Dubs couldn’t be finished off. Just a week before Kilkenny kick off their Championship season against Offaly now! Three in a row is so close…! Seems the hangover from Justin McCarthy’s resignation is ongoing. Parallels between this and the Offaly situation of Michael Bond/Babs Keating is silly and futile. Difference between now and then is that the Offaly team had public support, something I think the Waterford team are lacking. In fact, most struggle to see their reasoning and distinguish it as a cowardly, sneaky move. I maintain my position that it is a bad idea to hand the players that sort of power and let them decide who manages them. That said, I’m not anti-player, I just think that a clear administrative line needs to be maintained. Perhaps the players just panicked, and the idea of a bridesmaid year yet again was just too much for them to conceive, but he didn’t deserve what he got in the end. I wish Justin McCarthy all the best. *GAA rant over*

Anyways. Equipped with a fabulous new kitchen in chez Reilly/Scally/Brennan/Troy, I am now domesticated beyond belief, serving up feasts at any available opportunity. I give it a week for this nesting to settle down. But Friday night was spent ironing, cooking, cleaning, hovering and mowing the lawn. Well. Gav moved the lawn, but I was uber supportive.

Curves is ongoing. And yes, I still love it.

Moving onto the week ahead however, this is my last week in the office. I’m ok for now, but emotions are bound to overtake me at some stage… I suspect I’ll break Friday lunchtime!

Right, I’m off to more classes, tonight it shall be Constitutional and Contract ftw. Contract is fabulous, compact and concise… and Constitutional is anything but. It’s long, intense, emotive and difficult. But it’s still my favourite, so I’m looking forward to it! Val Corbett is the new James McDermott in my life… more anon!

PS - Booked tickets for The Panel for the National Concert Hall on the 22nd June. Win!
