Retirement 'Do' tonight - great fun

Just back from my retirement party - 17 of us at 'The Dogs' at Ballyskeagh. Great night. Food fab and not too much money squandered on rubbish bets :)
A crowd of us from Smyth Pattersons ran/walked the Lisburn Fun run last night in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association so it's a wonder we were able to be out so late!
Also had a lovely day last Friday at Richard and Sarah's wedding at Ballydugan Mill. It would have done your heart good to see a couple so happy to be getting wed and so much in love. It was a privilege to have been a part of it.
Well - only another two engagements to go before I head off. Really - this past 5 weeks have been wall to wall partying. I'm not complaining - it's been truly great - I'm going to miss seeing all my wonderful friends for 3 months. But I'll be looking forward to catching up with everyone again come September.
On Tuesday next I'm hoping to take the 5.15am bus from Sprucefield to Dublin Airport. Flying from Dublin to Amsterdam with Aer Lingus and then on with KLM to Mexico City.
I'll be staying with Betta's parents for 3 nights in Colonia Claveria. Dulce's taking me to Teotihuacan, where the huge pyramids of the Sun and the Moon were constructed in the first century AD. Photos, and history lesson of the day, to follow in due course.
On Friday 24th I'm travelling down to Oaxaca City in the south west to enrol in el Instituto Cultural on Saturday morning. Watch this space..........
