Everyone met up at home in Ireland for Sophie’s party at the weekend. Sophie had a lot of fun with her friend Ciaran. They look a right pair. They spent the whole time running up and down in the garden and couldn’t be persuaded back in to the house. Baby Cian wasn’t quite up to the excitement but I’m sure he will be next year!
Definitely very happy cycling around – we headed off for what I thought would be a quick spin but she decided to go for coffee (ie. “cake”) in town so we went right into the town and stopped for food, and then back again. Thankfully I wasn’t required to carry both the bike and Sophie home.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday party with Cian, Helen and Marc, Owen, Mimi, Grandad, and your Mummy and Daddy!
Sophie was playing with the bike in the kitchen the night she got it and then disappeared into her room – crashing noise of lego and other toys being cast over her shoulder. I was envisaging Yoda in the swamp on Dagobah. Then she re-emerged with the red strap from her guitar. “To lock the bicycle” she said . Rough town obviously!
OK I know it’s sideways. Reminds me of Ronan videoing Fin’s wedding on Angela’s camcorder – we had to turn a portable telly on it’s side to watch it. Another archive video from I think August 2005. Sophie headbanging to Greenday on the radio. I kept turning it down and she kept turning it right back up again. Finally she bangs her head on the steering wheel and gets really annoyed. Not a huge Greenday fan myself (the whole neo-punk thing seems a little forced after 1979 although I like their politics), but Sophie has an eclectic taste shall we say!
