Surprise at Emerald Island

Well here I am… Ireland in its best barely opened my eyes when Robert came to woke me up following morning after arrival since he is going to drop me to Frank’s house where I will reside for a while during this brief stopover trying to assist the family in not so easy times. Kids are great as they usually treat you like you never left their life and it feels good to be welcomed. It was a nice but have to say a bit tough month to settle in to the regime, to adjust the jet lag and be in the ready available mode to help with whatever is needed since Frank has hands full, therefore no time spare for explanations or directions what needs to be done. Eventually the cogs fell into place and we found the routine that is working and all is going as well as it could. Kids are great and the house works are taking time that days fly like big pig of Pink Floyd. The only thing that is not as easy is to lay low on social medias and on the mobile so Sebastian will not know that I’m here as this is surprise for him when he will arrive with girlfriend to Dublin for their week city break from hot Slovakia. Hmm not easy to pretend that you are in different time zone since I will always answer the phone when he will ring, no matter what time zone or where I’m in the world. Well thankfully he did not asked much questions when video call me and I had to pretend that my camera in down 😊 Well I’m The Great Pretender as Freddy sang… Also since the home was busy I had not much time to think about it until the kids finished school and Nook treatment and then all kind of slowed down and it was also nearly time of Sebastian visit so when he texted Frank to arrange meeting I the plan was set into motion. Unfortunately I felt sick week prior and had to take second course of medication to get better and also little kick in back side to realized that Ireland is not for me, since I always get sick here. Well the surprise pick up on Airport went out of the window but give the state I was in “no I have not had few scoops” I agreed with Frank that let he love birds settle in and give him surprise over the weekend when they will meet at Malahide Avoca for brunch. It is funny, that when I read in past that parents always see their kids as little innocent devils, no matter what age they are I just laughed at it but now when I was waiting to see my Son, suddenly I saw him in my mind eye as little kids running towards me at the Dublin airport with his little fluffy friend puppet. Well that was not the case as now I see adult with his own life, girlfriend and suddenly I’m lost for words and so happy just to be able to hug him as only God knows if is ever see him again. I’m off to travels and he off to girlfriend and all is well as it should be, since parents are just guardians and cannot hold onto the children but let them go, let them spread their wings, broke their hearth and bones =, maybe loose some tooth when they bite more than they can chew 😊 hey that is the miracle of life, older I get more observing I’m.  Well there is not need to explain all details but let not forget to mention the greeting “you bastard, what are you doing here” are the exact words of my offspring seeing me walking towards him….and someone said that you can’t hit kids…. 😊 Ahh great time together, even if short due my arranged Reiki session to help me heal my body before another longer flight to Mauritius. Well lunch was paid for and well in bellies so they do not need me anymore. Hit the road to get across town and over the biggest car park of Dublin M50 towards my friends in Curragh to have cuppa, chat and great boost of Reiki to heal me for what in exact order I’m grateful and tankful. I was so lucky with people around me so far that I’m Grateful and Thankful for all of them as now I do understand that even those who I perceived as not so good were there for me to learn something new about myself and life in general and life is not easy, so chin up and get on with program.

              Obviously I will see Sebastian and Lea before they head home and me to Mauritius as we arranged dinner on Tuesday so we can have chat and a bit of time together. Well another Japanese dinner a they are both mad in love with Japan and this also remind me that I was the same when I was fifteen years old and started to do martial arts and dabbling in eastern philosophy of ZEN, BUDHA etc… and back then I had no money to travel that far so now I see that maybe there is something in our blood that connects us to Japan and far East with Sebastian. Well he probably needs to wait a bit longer before he will head off there or maybe not, who knows but I know for certain when I will be there as the tickets are purchased, hostels / hotels booked and I’m nearly ready like the fire cracker trembling with anticipation on sigh of match closing distance with its flame. Still few months but as you know when you are really looking for something too much you are on edge and sometime “quick draw” 😊 for those sick bastards who thinks about sex every two minutes or whatever is apparently regular pattern in our male brain. Ahh nice and hot again with flip flops,  shorts and t-shirt as well as thirst, I had to say I’ve got used to it during the few past months.      

              Also here we have an amazing summer with blue sky 22 degrees what is nearly taken as either state emergency “not enough beer and ice cream shops” or national holiday “after all that beer drank and ice cream eaten” but hey hoo no complaining here as I enjoy every moment of it sticking my face to the sun every time I can and feel those sun rays playing on my face from nose to cheeks and into eyes. Life is beautiful ! Ireland is beautiful too and I bet ya that in years to come Ireland is new summer destination as no one will go to Spain during the summer to burn like long forgotten sausage on the BBQ. This is it I’m telling ya, get yourself a nice cottage here, somewhere down west Cork and you will be laughing in five years’ time “but buy it not so close to water edge otherwise you might get free water bed” in years to come since we are pretty much fucking up this blue planet of ours and who knows if she not shake us off her back like she did shake off dinosaurs. AS new scuba diver I realized even more how much we are damaging the planet with our trash, especially plastic what is everywhere and it sadden me to see how are people ignorant to this since they don’t get that life starts in the tinniest creatures in the sea and on the land and that means if they are gone we defo will be gone. Not tomorrow not in year but since I have Son I think twice as I would like to leave him chance to have his own family and kids in the nice and healthy environment not only see photos on some fancy LCD / AMOLED / RETINA display of their hand attachment called mobile phone. Well it is time to go to bed and dream a nice dream of a wonderful world and also looking forward to meet Sebastian and Lea tomorrow and listen to their story “and that is defo different story” :-)
