phone calls

yay for phone calls to boston!
it just totally made my day!
today is kaity's birthday, and last night was a big surprise party in boston for her, and i tried to call last night but no one answered their phones, so luckily i was able to call now!
i just got to talk to 4 of my favourite people, and i miss them sooo much!
it was abfab to talk to them and joke around and sing happy birthday and ahhh, i wish i could be there.
so yay for that, because it totally made my week!

in other news, first hike of the term, it was fun :)
we went to knockmealdowns in co. waterford/tipperary.
it was a good hike despite the looming weather forecast.
it was pouring when i woke up,and stopped raining by the time i walked over.
i was surprised to see a bunch of new people when i got there, especially with the weather.
luckily it only rained the first 15 minutes.
it was fun, an easy hike, lots of fog, some hail.
it was nice to be out of the city and outside :)
after the hike, some good craic in youghal and then in the thirsty scholar.
and now a wet bag to empty out.
