Today My Family Made Money

So.
Valerie.
That mad bitch, married to my baby brother.
Well, she organised ANOTHER of her fundraising shindigs.
Bitch that she is.
Well, all the family (and there's lots of us) well we walked for the charity.
And where would we walk to?
A pub!
Where else?
A lot more people turned up than we expected!
It was BIG!
So.
There was free chicken curry for all that turned up.
We just about had enough for everyone!
Me and Pete provided what we could, entertaintment wise.
Actually, it was QUITE entertaining!
And there was a raffle!
And Many went home with prizes beyond belief!
So.
A fun day.
A family day.
A fundraising day.
(At the last count, I think we made about 7000 euros!)
Hey!
And it all goes to the local cancer federation.
And they give such a lot of time to people undergoing treatment for cancer.
They are totally dependant on contributions.
They take patients, and give them a day out, in a spa, or even a hairdressers, or some other such 'luxury'!
They get a treat!
Away from the hospital.
My singing helps that??
I love my SIL Val!
She is a cancer survivor, and has worked tirelessly for the past three years to raise as much money as she can for the cause.
All I can do is sing.
And I do.
I do.
And it makes money!
And it makes me happy!

You Know, I Don't Tell Her Quite Enough!

Annette, my darling, I love you more than life.

But you know that.

How could I live without you?

She's Back!

Ma took to the bed again last week.

"That's it, I'm never getting up again"!

Poor Sis.

But, some new meds, and, She's up, and nearly at 'em!

Ireland 1916. A new Dawn; Horslips! (Where's the feckin' flag?)

Life - VIVERE!

Don't Just 'Give It A Shot'

Everything I Got!

(I might need some encouragement every now and then!)

For Peter. Love you pal. Love your Dad too.

T G I D

the god is dead
long live the god?
FUCK the god!
And fuck YOU
catholic church.
For I make a stand.
And hear me NOW!
Fuck all you priests
who never listened.
And all you 'christian brothers'
who were anything but!
And all those 'sisters' in your black!
Did you ever know?
Of course you did.
I rue the day I was christened!
For it was not by my hand.
I was taken into your life by others.
Who never had a stand.
Remove this sick church from the state.
This state is sick enough.
And I am sick, And full of hate
with your catholic
Is something I can do without!

Bob Dylan Fans? Were they not revolutionaries?
