I had to post this because I am so proud. My Daughter just got made permanent as Site Electrical Engineer. I feel as if I sat every exam with her over the last 4 years. I remember like it was yesterday when she first came into my life and now this 💙

I’ve said it before re holidaying in Italy. They never lost the run of themselves even during recession. Pasta Main courses €10. Pizza €7.50. House wine bottle €9. I know you can go to tourist rip off areas but this was 3 mins from St Marks square. We can do better here 🇮🇹🇮🇪💙

It is very strange in an age of social media, to tweet or not to, however my Dad passed away. He would not have wanted me to say it but a great Waterford footballer in his day and beyond. Kicked his last competitive ball in his 50’s. RIP Dad xx

When the ceremony was over the Catholic priest said, “go in peace”, he never said “you may kiss the bride”, I never kissed the bride. If I can offer any advice Lads, make sure you kiss the bride because I have been listening to it for 26 yrs 😞 and she’s still with me💙

Stop telling people to turn off their Lights. A 5 watt LED costs 2 cent for 12 hours approx. Heating elements draw more current, so tumble dryer, electric shower, electric oven etc., Elderly people will fall and hurt themselves. Light is essential for safety. 💙
