What a day!

Monday, July 7 at 9:50pm

I am sooo beat. I'm going to try to make this quick so that I can go take a hot bath. Woke up early and went to work. It was a hectic morning but we made it out to Ards Forest Park (click for more photos) on time. Yes, my favorite walk so far was Ards Friary, and we were in a different part of the forest. It was incredibly beautiful and the temperature got up to the high sixties (gorgeous!).

Halfway through the walk we found a children's playground to stop at and I got to run around. It was a good craic and I loved being like a kid again. After the walk, Nuala had to make a run so I (with tons of support from everyone) led the afternoon planning for tomorrow's trip to Fin Town. It was a little nerve-wracking but all went well and everyone was in such good spirits from the walk.

Nuala got back and picked me up at my house. We had a wonderful conversation in the car as we drove the coast road and the Gweebarra Bends. Made it back with just enough time to change for my match. It was such good fun. We (Loughy Waste) won 3-1 against the Revellers and I scored the last one (dribbled from midfield, right foot to bottom right corner from 25 yards). It was incredible to play and yet I'm so out of shape. Well, Nuala says I played well and looked fit but the ref (hearing my wheezing) told me I "should lay off the fags," meaning I should quit smoking. Made me laugh.

Off to take my bath. My shoulders were sore today from surfing and now my legs are like spaghetti (let's not even discuss the blisters). Wonderful day. Will add footie pictures soon.
