My heart beats frantically against my chest and it feels like I'm wired from head till toe. That's how it feels when the one you missed for the last 3,5 weeks comes to visit you and you're waiting on him. It's 11.30 now and I have to wait another 3 hours to pick up Dirk from the airport.
Unlike the first time that he was about to visit, I slept well last night. I don't know what to do with this time on my hands though. Hmmm, I will go to the park and read a book, I guess.

"Airlink Express Bus: Improved Route!" "Journey Time to Dublin Airport 60 mins approx from Heuston station and 30-40 minutes from City Centre." Yeah, right... Well it didn't take 30-40 minutes to get to the airport, it took me at least 60 minutes to get there and that's when I don't count the fact that the bus was 15 minutes late! This resulted in disaster... (I know I'm exaggerating) I was too late at the airport to pick up Dirk... He called me when I was almost at the airport, he was looking for me;)
Fortunately the rest of the afternoon and evening went quite well. We picked up some groceries and made a perfect diner. I bought tickets to Pirates 4: On stranger tides yesterday. We went to see it tonight at 9.10pm. It was superb! I looooove the Pirates films, I watched them all several times.

Jamming with a band, the ultimate dream... And --- I --- did --- it!! I can't play a musical instument, at least, that's what I thought. A couple of nights ago I went with the Four-Courts-Hostel-gang to the Sin é (which has nothing to do with sin, but it's Irish for 'that's it'). On a couple of nights this pub has a live band which plays typical Irish music. It's absolutely astonishing, those musicians are extremely talented. If I say band I don't mean electric guitars and a whole drumset. This is all acoustic, no microphones and with just one drum.
That particular night we went with a whole group of about 30 people from the hostel. The bartender (Milo) knows us and because of that he locked us in. What I mean with 'locked us in' is that the Sin é stops serving at 11.30pm. After that Milo kicks everybody out except for the FCH-crew. He locks us in as they say in Dublin. We can stay as long as we want, it's a lot of fun! This time Milo locked us in WITH the band and they kept playing their lovely tunes.
After a while the band asked everybody to join them and since I was sitting next to the one with the drum he asked me to play it. I didn't know how to play it, but he helped me and within no time I was part of the band:)
