Okay, so rules are made to be broken.

[More:]

it's not seven a.m. yet and I've already used up all my computer time allowance for the day - blame it on the five hour time difference I have to get used to. And anyway, I've used the time constructively, sifting through photos and uploading them.

I think my next project will be a travel piece on fun things to do on a Donegal holiday (by the way, Donegal holidays, in my opinion - and experience - are not suitable for children between ten and twenty, and the best time is when they're well over twenty). If anyone has any tips for a suitable market, do let me know! (I would love to move on from International Living!)

I may have got those last two links back to front.

Off to prepare breakfast...
