The Healy family got home on Monday at long last. Mam was exhausted. And when they got home my little bro Dara had the gaf in ruins for them! Lovely!!
The weekend in Cairns was good!!
Called over to Sineads on Thursday, had a few beers and went to bed early as we were up at 4.30 the next morning.
Friday – Got a taxi to the airport. Flew to Cairns, got there at 10am! Nice and warm. Went and checked in to hotel and went for a walk around the place. Had lunch and a few beers. Back to hotel and had a nap. That night we went out for dinner then hit Gilligans and the Woolshed! Great fun.
Saturday – Were up at 7am for the reef cruise. It was the exact same one I went on last time. It was cool. Good food, good crew, great weather! Came home, had a nap, then out for dinner. Went to PJ’s, watched the football then back to the woolshed again! Great night! Got smashed.
Sunday – Had to check out at 11. So went for a wee walk, got breakfast. Had a few lunch time pints then back to the airport. Bleedin knackered getting home!!
This week hasn’t been too busy. Not much going on. We were all set on going on a surf camp this weekend coming. I had 14 people ready to go and I rang all the camps but they all dont start back til September coz its “too cold” apparantely?? haha yeah right. So then I found a good tour to Port Stephens in which you can swim with sharks, go dolphin watching, sandboarding, 4WD sand dune tour, all accomodation and dinners for 289 dolla. People were interested at first but then started dropping like flies so now we’re not doing anything
well we’re meeting tonight and gonna figure out some thing fun to do on Saturday….

Hello!!
Not much happening these days. Tis all quiet on the western front.
The weekend gone there was a good laugh.
Thursday – Went to Cargo Bar after work. There was an MTV party on for some new TV show. We got in VIP with Tino. It was fine, free booze, free food, mixing with the elite of society!! Didnt stay too late…
Friday – Had a few beers in the house after work then went to Tea Gardens and got smashed with the lads. It was fun!
Saturday – was a tad hungover all day. Went to Strike bowling with Sinead at 3 for Sonias birthday! Was doing jagerbombs by 5pm!!! IT was a lot of fun. Then we went to the Casino, didnt stay out late. In bed by 12!
Sunday – We were up early. City2Surf was on. Its a run from the city centre to Bondi Beach. We went down to bondi and had a look round – 80000 people in bondi is a bit mental!!! We were in the bungabar by 1pm. Had a lot there, then went to the CnB for food around 6. Was absolutely hammered and in bed by 10pm!!!
Yesterday was a disaster in work, I was dying!!!
Heading to cinema tonight.
Heading to Cairns on Friday – very excited!! Its 30 degrees up there at the mo, which is amazing. My parents are there at the moment and loving it!!
Pearl Jam tickets are on sale in one hour and 13 mins! I’ll be first in the queue!!
Not much else to report dudes.

Hi lo
Good week it has been, well kind of. On the bad side, James and Faygo went off last night. Theyre spending a week in LA/San Diego/Frisco and then heading home. James is gone for good
while Faygo is on a 3 week holiday… Faygo should be back!! So that leaves me and Birchall as the only Skerries boys left….booooo
On the good side – I got my tax back – sweet!!!
Weekend went like this.
Thursday – Got a random call from Birchall saying he was going for a pint after work. So I went into him and Eoin Hand and had a beer, follwed by a few more beers. Then Aaron and Fiona and Dave and Barry and the girls came out! Got smashed!! Didnt get home til all hours….
Friday – not a fun day, very tired!! Got home from work and everyone was boozing in my house. So we had a little party and hit the tea gardens – hard. Got smashed again!!
Saturday – was up early – tax back was in the account so went shopping all day. Bought loads of stuff. Went to Paddington with Sinead, bought some more stuff. Then Saturday night was James’ going away party. Went to the Bavarian Bier Gardens in the Rocks. Had the litre Steins! yummy! After we went to a club called never mind, bit of raving, then courthouse. Went home and fell asleep on the couch as someone wouldnt answer their phone. The guys came home and had afull blown rave in the sitting room with me on the couch! Never heard them!!
Sunday – was up early to go to the boat show in Darling harbour. It was cool!! Saw class boats, millions and millions of dollars worth. Then we went to the Chinese Gardens, then the Ferris Wheel. then we met the boys and went for pints in the sun in Darling Harbour. It was cool. James and Sinead ended up getting smashed. Us 3 went on the monorail after then headed to the Sheaf. Dave and Darcy came down and we stayed there til pretty late, was a good night!!
Tuesday night – went to the Eastern for steaks and beers which is kind of the custom now for people who are leaving. Selda, Kate and Carly came down too, we had a lot of fun!!
Tonight I am heading to Cargo bar, we got VIP tickets to an MTV party which Ruby Rose is DJing. She is a hot lesbian. My goal is to get a photo with her and/or convert her to being straight!! Free drinks and canopes!!!
Dont know whats happening this weekend yet – free for all as Phil is back!?
I booked the flights to Cairns, booked the 5 star hotel in Cairns and booked our reef trip. The weather there is about 29 degrees so it’ll be a great weekend!!!

Good luckskies…
