tomorrow is the day. tom leaves in the morning to go to london, the first leg of his month-long journey. he has offered to check in here every now and then to give us some updates…

I have resolved to make lots of plans with friends to go out and have fun. As everyone knows, time flies when you are having fun.

So, the first thing planned is a weekend away to galway and the aran islands with Moyra and James, some friends that we met through tom’s lab. I’m really quite excited about it – we will be camping on inis mor, the biggest aran island, and there is a festival on this weekend. Highlighted activities include welly throwing (throwing a rubber boot into a barrell), meeting gaelic-speaking locals, and music & drink. On sunday or monday we will be heading off to the galway races, the highlight of the social calendar in galway. Everybody gets dressed up in formalwear and goes to see the horses. I’m even going to dig up a skirt and heels! Highlights here include acting very posh, riding on horses, and drinking white wine in the summer sun. (fingers crossed with heartfelt wishes for sunny weather!!)
