Last weekend I went up to Glencolumbkille (Donegal) because we had Friday off. It was a nice relaxing weekend. I met a few people from Washington State who will be there until June for an independent study. Eunan (Alisha’s brother-in-law) was playing at Biddy’s (pub) on Saturday night so we had a good time. It’s lambing season so there are little baby lambs all over the place...they are so cute! A couple of Cathal’s sheep died during childbirth so they have been having to bottle feed the lambs every few hours. Coming from the city, I think it’s fun to play farmer and was more than happy to help with the feedings...even at 2 in the morning. They have some singles, twins, and triplets so I was kept busy. I wanted to sneak my favorite one out of the barn with me but Big Tom (Cathal’s dad) told me to take as many as I wanted, I think they are sick of taking care of them...he says they are worse than children. I figured the hospital wouldn’t be too happy with a little lamb running around so I’ll be content with visiting them. It was funny to see all of us standing around in the barn each with a lamb in our arms bottle feeding them.
