A Sports afternoon at St Stephens Green.

We'll have to tie Mrs A's ankles together so she can only jump.

We can have events like who can throw their bread the furthest.

How long can you lie down with your eyes shut.

Relay race with a bag of chips.

How fast can you run to Dunnes and back with a bag full of shopping.

I just received this in an email, thought you might like it.

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it.

He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:

'Never save something for a special occasion.

Every day in your life is a special occasion'.

I still think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the settee without worrying about anything and just relax.

I spend more time with my family & friends and less at work.


Money is to be spent not saved.

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.

I no longer keep anything.

I use crystal glasses every day.

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.

I go out with my friends whenever I want to rather than thinking I don't have the spare money or time.

The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day....' are fading away from my dictionary.

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now...

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.

I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.
She might have told everyone how much she loved them.

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food.

It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come..

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

It is very powerful, Ktabbers.

You're not going to believe this but all the kitchen cupboard tidying out I've been doing of late was to bring all me posh crockery, glasses and cutlery to the front so I can use them everyday rather than just high days and holidays.

I'm off to the Theatre Saturday to see a play called 5 @ 50!! ... here's just a little bit about it.



Tricia, Olivia, Loreen, Fern and Norma - friends since school and now hitting 50. On the outside they're smart-talking, intelligent, funny and streetwise, but now the cracks in their relationships are starting to show.

Infidelity, jealousy and addiction threaten the women's status quo and they start to question everything they previously believed in. Suddenly sex, vodka and money aren't providing the answers they used to and the five friends find their lives changing in ways that are both hysterically funny and genuinely heartbreaking.

Following on from the highly acclaimed TRUE LOVE LIES, Brad Fraser's new play continues his blisteringly comic dissection of the way we live now.
