I have had a mixed week this week. Started out fairly relaxed, chilling with a friend of mine who was back in the area. As the week has worn on though it has got increasingly hectic. Case in point was the mad Tuesday scramble for jobs after which I then had a serous Xbox session with my mate. Wednesday he went to pick up his car and sitting in his dad’s car I noticed an Ireland road map. Still have not got a ‘mapped’ out itinerary yet for the road trip using Car Hire Dublin but that looked like a sign. Or a reminder depending of your viewpoint seeing as I also saw the new Satnav application for the iPhone, so I’d probably be using that! Just a case of getting a job to get the funds together but while I wait I’m going to check for any events next summer. Anybody find any let me know.

I have been a bit busy the last few weeks, with various interviews, job searches, meeting up with a few pals and getting enthralled in the fantastic cricket. I am certainly hoping England can pull off another summer 2005 and win but still expect the Australians to come back strong with at least one victory. Edgbaston could well be it with the ‘injury swing’ going in the Aussies favour, the probable return of Brett Lee and the sidelined Kevin Pietersen for England. All this means is that the planning of the Ireland road trip itinerary, where the idea is to car hire, Dublin has not got much further but is definitely something I am thinking of but probably for 2010, keep you posted!
