I have been sick as dog all week but have to carry on. No work no pay!!
Life on this island is getting scarier every day but what can we do but carry on and make the best of it.
On that note I woke up Tuesday morning, the first day of the ploughing match and thought ‘sure it is only down the road and Aoife will cost nothing’. So off we set, it was a bit drizzly but sure we are Irish!
We got there nice and early and had a lovely few hours poking our noses into all kinds of tents, entering competitions for Ipads galore!!
We went a few political tents where I wanted to terrorise the terrorists but alas Aoife would not let me loose on them, she is so easily embarrassed!!
Then we got so cold that even the free soup and teas did not works so we decided to leave. This was only 12.30 and i had trouble negotiating the ploughed field so we left by the yard.
Wednesday I had my now two lovely groups doing screen printing on fabric. We were preparing some screens and starting on our visual journals and designing for the screens.
Friday I went to the market in Borris as my time table in College has been changed….this seems quite common, so i got to spend the morning with Rachel O’Hara, Julie Murphy and more. Lovely to see them all, missed Nicola Brown and Emma Jane Champley 
Today Saturday I am what I call ‘pinning down the final/ish stages of my first assignment for college. I will finalise it and print it on Tuesday. I am sure the rest of them ran theirs off in no time. It has taken me ages to work it all out.
It is good to be the learner as it gives you perspective on what the other view feels like!
