On Friday we headed to Louisburgh to spend the weekend with Paul's parents. After dinner on Friday night I went with Paul to the pier where he fishes when he's down there. He caught the first mackerel of the year!
Saturday was the annual Louisburgh Horse Show. We had a look around for awhile, but unfortunately the weather wasn't great- rainy and cool, so we didn't stay for too long. It featured show ponies, horse jumping, a dog show, a sheep show, and some old-style games and re-enactments. Paul and I entered a sugan (hand spun grass rope) competition. Ours is number 5. We haven't gotten any phone calls that we won, surprise, surprise!
And, on Saturday, we celebrated my birthday!
On the way back to Dublin on Sunday we stopped in Castlebar to watch Mayo play Leitrim in Gaelic Football. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, and Mayo won handily. I took today off of work to get an extra day of rest, as my sleeping at night is getting worse. Upper back pain kicks in between 2 and 3am, and I just don't get much rest after that. I got a nice nap in on the way back yesterday, so that was a help!

I have! It's on display at Paul's parent's house!
We still laugh about it now.
