This is eldest daughter behavior. No wonder she wants a little diversion. She’s going a little stir-crazy being the Lady of the House at her young age! I am riding for Emma. This girl is doing her best, bless her little head.

Stolen! Kicking me while I’m down, haha! Here we are not making rent and someone stole a handful of films from the travel section. An eclectic selection: Wendy & Lucy, Local Hero, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and I think Bonnie & Clyde? I’ll have to double check inventory tomorrow.
Was great to have a tour of Castletown House yesterday after the staff away day. The OPW team were very welcoming. Did leave with the solid belief that we need less Tom Conollys and more James Connollys.

Get ready for doctors and nurses to join legal aid solicitors in being scapegoated for state institutional failures, and told they’ve been getting paid too much.
