2012

Yes, it’s a retrospective blog post for the year ending. In fairness, I rarely do these things and wanted to acknowledge the amazing friends and family I have. I’m tremendously lucky to like what I do and I’m handed opportunities to do fantastic other stuff in my free time too. Here’s a few personal highlights from 2012:

A trip to Rathbeggan Lakes with Peter Donegan’s Garden Group (February 18th):

Spring Break 80s tribute band at the Button Factory (March 17th):

Visit my friend Cait in Athens (May 3rd to 8th):
My first trip to Greece and it was a particular highlight of the year.
The sun going down whilst we relaxed and drank cocktails

Cheese rolling in the Cotswolds (3rd – 5th June):
I don’t appear to have written anything up on this, which I’m surprised by. Myself, Darragh, Steph and Blots spent three days in the Cotswolds to witness cheese rolling on a really steep incline. Great craic.

My flatmate Ciaran moves to Toronto (29th June):

Steph moves in (8th August):

Silent (11th October):
The most moving piece of theatre I’ve ever seen. I’d implore you to see it if you haven’t already. It’s on the 10-12th in Smock Alley Theatre (tickets).

There’s a hell of a lot more I haven’t included in there and it’s meant more for myself than anyone else. Health and happiness to you and yours for 2013.
