Welcome to Mary's October blogs

A young man I know challenged one and all to write a blog everyday for the month of October.

I agreed to the challenge but insisted on there being a prize. We have only agreed on my prize which will consist of a greeting card or a diploma made by him. His prize has yet to be determined. We should meet for coffee on November 1st to exchange prizes.

Any suggestions for prizes are welcome in the comments box.

If you wish to come for coffee, leave your request in the comment box too!

Although it is not October yet. I have decided to start early.

I will attempt to make these entries as amusing as possible depending on the movements of my soul. I'm sure you will get some deep thoughts along the way because that's just how I roll.

I will share with you one interesting thing from my day today to start the ball rolling.

My sisters recently visited our home town of Dublin. There they made the observation that certain friends and family members who are still residents of our lovely green homeland regularly exclaim: "Sure it's a great night, isn't it. It's great crack all together." They do this regularly over the course of an evening out or during a party or an event. My sisters' conclusion is that it is a method of keeping the momentum going or perhaps generating momentum. So they decided to use it themselves to see if it worked.

In the most dire circumstances of their week in Dublin, like when they got lost for four hours, they used it. Or when no one showed up to party with them on their last night, they used it. Even today as we sat around chatting with our kids running wild, they used it. A fit of laughter and good will ensued.

So it works.

There you have it. That concludes my first entry. It's great, isn't it? Sure it's great crack altogether!
