Hello sailors!

Hi all! In an update to my last post - I got the job! And my tattoo is finished. It's still healing but I have a photo of that my artist (Lucy Pryor at Into You London) took just after it was finished - it's at the end of this post!

I honestly can't believe that the summer is over now. One very cool end of summer thing that happened in Dublin was the Tall Ships race. The ships are all "traditionally rigged" - meaning that they all have traditional masts and sails. It ALSO meant that there were sailors from all over the world hanging out in Dublin. I should definitely have stowed away!

Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to wear my sailor top, I'm pretty sure I would have blended right in otherwise.

Here's my tattoo! I love it. Please excuse my swollen arm though!

Preview

Hi folks! I've been super busy for the last couple of weeks. I went through a very stressful job interview (still haven't found out if I got the job!) I also went to London to see my sis.. and here's a little preview of what happened while I was there...

Do you guys have any tattoos? This is my fourth but my only biggie!

July blues

Hi folks, I'm back from my hols! Can you believe it's nearly August? The summer goes so fast! Portugal was beautiful! We stayed in a place on the coast called Quarteira which is pretty much a beach with some shops and restaurants built up around it. All we did was lie around, eat, swim, eat and rest. It was perfect!

Apart from swimwear, the skirt in this picture is the only item of clothing I bought for my holiday. I'm really reluctant to buy summer clothes that I'll only wear once, so I always look for things that I can layer once I get back to Ireland and wear again.

Also I have a question for all of you bloggers! Which image hosting service do you use for your blogs? I just switched from Photobucket to Flickr and I'm finding it really confusing. Why does Flickr make it so hard to post images at the size you uploaded them at? I have seen a few bloggers recommend Flickr and I'm not sure why. Which site do you use? Another one entirely? Let me know!
