fare well AND baby shower PARTY

On Saturday, June 14th, there was a party time at Dal Riada Centre... Yeah... Sam and Rita are to have their first baby on August 4th, and Liz and Cheska are about to return to their home countries - Liz to the USA, and Cheska to Philippines. So, to celebrate the coming and going, Anne-Maree and Rachel (they are just so great!!!) organized this fare well and welcome party. I was struggling with a slight headache in the morning, but then managed to go, and I don't regret it. It was simply - FUN!!!

V Sobotu 14. juna sme mali v Centre taku mini-party. Bolo to pre Ritu a Sama, a ich babo (ma sa narodit 4. augusta) no a potom pre dalsie dve slecny - Liz a Chesku - ktore z Dublina odchadzaju a vracaju sa domov - jedna do USA (Liz) a druha na Filipiny (Cheska). Rachel a Anne-Maree to vsetko pekne zorganizovali, a my ostatni sme sa pekne pozabavali. Bola sranda, mini kvizy a preteky v prebalovani (kedze nebolo novorodenca, prebaloval sa maco - mozno nic strasneho, nuz tak, prebaloval sa maco ale - poslepiacky), alebo v odhade obvodu Ritinho bruska (nas tim absolutne prehral, odhadli sme ju na asi 15o cm obvodu, coz je ozaj trosku privela... Ale - som pocuvala co ames hovoril a on uz ma synatora, tak sme sa spolahli ze ma v tom prehlad). Je tu par fotiek, tak si ich pokukajte. Ahoooooj!

From R to L: Lucia (me!), Cheska, Sam, Rita, Rachel with little Marian, Anne-Maree, Liz with little Andrew, and James with Wendy. Nice gang, are we? Here the mama Rachel with her firstborn Marian, and auntie Liz with her nephew, little...
And here a proud father, James with his firsborn son, little who? Little Andrew :-)

:-) navsteva

V nedelu 8. juna (tiez na Medarda) priletela do Dublina kolegyna mojej sestry Palky Janka K. Bola som po nu na letisku a potom som ju nasadila na bus do jedneho juhoirskeho mestecka. Pobudla tam tyzden a v piatok 13. juna sa vratila do Dublina, odkial mala rano v sobotu (let o 5:55am, t.j. na letisku trebalo byt dve hodinky dopredu) odletiet domov na Slovensko.

Bola to kratka navsteva, ale bola som rada, pretoze aj malo je viac ako nic, a kazdy zavan domova mi tu len dobre padne. A Janka je rapotacka, tak aj to bolo dobre, lebo sme si pokvakali :-)

Takze - tu je par fotiek...

I had a visitor from home. My sister's coleague from work, Janka K. Did not stay long, but I had a good time anyway, as any visit and any kind word in my mother language is appreciated in this foreign country. All who experienced it, will understand...

STRETKO neSTreTKo :-)

No tak - v nedelu 8. juna (na Medarda... ale ziadna kvapka nekvapkala, tak tu hadam budeme mat nadalej pekne a slnecno - aspon teda v ramci moznosti) som sa konecne primala k tomu aby som skocila pozriet na slovensku Omsu... Nuz, hej, primat som sa primala, a l e - ona bola omsicka prave v tuto nedelu presunuta na 3pm (zo zvycajnej 5pm) - no s k o d a, nie?
Akokolvek, nebolo to vsetko "nadarmo", pretoze som stretla zopar kon-slovakov, a po omsicke u karmelitanov som bola na mini veceri s kamaratkou Zuzanou (ktora je tu v Irsku uz zopar peknych rokov) - bolo dobre a som rada... Tak teda - zatial sa majte, a do skoreho "citania"!
