Old friends and blog carnivals

Gawd. The Flying Doctor just got back from travelling the world; I haven't spoken to him in a year. He called an hour ago and my mouth completely ran away from me. On the rare occasion that I paused to draw breath he did try to get a word in, bless him. But each time he ended up apologising for interrupting me. (And so he should! Did he really expect a two way conversation?)

Anyway sorry Flying Doctor, I promise that I'll let you speak when I see you in person. Can't deal with phones at all, they make me yabber more than usual...

On a completely different subject, my post about Chicago was featured on the latest Carnival of Cities. If you'd like to include a post in the next edition, the instructions are here.

Poor me

After my sniffles last weekend I've been fighting off a sore throat with all the tricks at my disposal. Unfortunately it got the better of me last night and I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself this morning.

My post about Christenings and Confirmations in Ireland has been featured in the Blog Carnival on Observations on Life. If you have a post you'd like to submit for the next edition, you can do so here.

*Just realised that my post about Good Friday has also been featured in the Carnival of the Godless. If you have a post you'd like to submit for the next edition, have a look here.

Carnival of cities

One of my posts has been featured on the latest edition of Carnival of Cities. Apparently I sound/write like a man, which is cool because I always wanted to be androgynous. (My child-bearing hips and high-pitched voice always gives me away in the real world, damnit) Thanks Sheila for the great intro!

If you have a post that highlights an aspect of a city you can submit it here for the next edition.
