Mabon and my weekend

evaelisabethDespite not having an oficial ritual to go to it was important to me that there be some kind of BlueStarness to my Mabon. So I mooched some candles from my Mom, made dinner for myself and toasted the Gods as I transfered the Fire from Summer to Winter. I even had some chocolate in the house so all my food bases are covered.
My parents are quite adamant that I must speedily learn how to drive on Irish roads (which can be quite tiny) driving a stick shift even. Those who know me well, know that I don't drive a stick shift. This has been a bit of a challenge and has caused my mother's car a bit of distress over the last two weekends. Thankfully during the week I'm home too late and too tired to get more lessons. I am however making progress and soon I will be speeding away on the Irish motorways. No matter what I will continue to take the bus to work as congestion makes the trip by car almost twice as long and I couldn't afford the parking anyway.
I found the most amazing cheese shop today, it's called Sheridan's and if you are ever in town and like cheese you should stop by it's amazing. I also took a quick turn down Grafton St. resisting the flower vendors since I have about five hours to go before I'm home tonight and I would hate for them to wilt.
I miss B and K dreadfuly however I am reliably informed that the big girl is having a blast with her cousins. After arriving at my in-laws she apparently turned up her nose at the food they had there (pretty much all prepackaged and preprepared), B had to go to a farmers market to pick up some proper food (fresh avocados, blueberries and soy milk). That's my girl.
