A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all.
If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons!
It is so easy to add comments even I can do it.

Update from Eastern Europe
Having a great time here staying with John and Brigette at their flat in the centre of Vienna. We have been travelling all around Vienna for the last few days, looking at the citie's cafes, churches, bars and shops. This place below is the Schoenbrunn Palace which has gardens, parks and is just out side the aparment. I enjoyed the christmas market in the front courtyard which sold all kinds of hot delicious snacks and Rizwana loved all the bric a brac hand crafted market stalls.
Last night we went for a meal to a restaurant which was owned by Brigettes cousin - called Emperor Walz Brewery then off to an arty cinema to see the classic film "The third man" . This was made in Vienna post WWII and I had not seen this for a long time but it was good to see again. Today we are off to a museum and some more Chirstmas markets and some more sight seeing.
The Austrain beer is great
We are planning to visit Budapest tomorrow for a couple of days
see you all soon

Phil the picture Jane Goodhall, Directors of Shell and Carin was impressive - what about the rest of the story = where is all this on the web . there must be sites that talk about it. Ask Carin,
you should have posted the picture here though - it is dead easy just click upload file above carin but make sure you click the link option so the pictue does not appear in the main blog and so cause it to take ages to load.......

Shiv I have added this to the itinerary. But what about the rest of the days your are here? You must have some plans - I know about the fish and chips at Lyndsey's. it is important that you and Phil let me know all the dates you have planned so no one after can complain they did not know or did not get the chance to ......

Very good Philip - I found this very amusing, I found it amazing that Tom Mac is so well know in Phuket – he must have visited there a lot in his pre marriage days. Did you to visit any of the bars and see the table tennis ladies? You can tell me the details when you return.
I am off to Vienna soon, off to London later tonight and then on to Heathrow airport at 7 am for a flight, myself and Rizwana are staying with my Scots friend John who is living with his Austrian girl friend.

Come on Siobhan - it would be unethical to share clubs with someone on the opposing team. I think you should all listen to the best comedy on Radio 4

Can you all Mail me anything you have set in stone for Christmas to I can put it all on to the Calendar so everyone knows what the plans are each day and Phil will find it a lot easier to build his families Christmas itinerary
Such as Christmas day at Brian's, Night on the Moors, golf day, go karting day, Christening day , Curry days and night etc.
Shiv, John Planchinski has agreed to do the Christening pictures for £60 for 20 pictures - I told him this would be OK. As it is a good deal I bought him a pint for you last night so you owe me £2 !!
Jules Moz and I were pulling down the Ivy on the factory roof in Carin's back yard when the 3 kids next door came out with a letter for Julian it was addressed to Santa and Jules was told to leave it up there on the roof on his next trip up which he duly did under their keen overseeing. Although Mozza was heard later trying to convince them that Julian had thrown it away! I did not let them believe him.
Philip, thanks for your offer to get me a set of Galloway's but after careful thought I do not want them now. They are too expensive and I will not use them enough. I am used to yours now and will continue to use them. But can you get me just a putter? I will only have a problem on the one game when we all play but I have a solution - as we both used different clubs on the last game we can do the same next time and just use your set. We can take turns carrying them and as we are on the same team with Capt Tom Mac this will be easy to do - and on the green if we have two putters there will be no waiting around. A much cheaper and more efficient solution.
so get practising
see you

No Mum - I do not believe you!
Anyway this is the best program I have found in a long time - it allows you to enter all the phrases you type in a frequently in 2 clicks, so my user name and email address and any other things I have to type in lot like name and address - I can do not with just a click of the mouse
This is good as I do not have to worry about miss spelling or miss typing important words or telephone numbers. And it is free !!
download
If anyone does use it and thinks it's the best thing since wholemeal organic sliced bread then let the others know!

Homeless no more! Annmarie is now a woman of property and may even let me stay over. All other visitors also welcome.
Big thank you to Mozza, Julian, Michael Tom and Nora for all the help moving and Carin for letting us stay at Bath road. For the avoidance of any doubt Bath Road was spotless when we left.
SEE PICTURES HERE Hey Cottage

I have just poped in to an internet café for a break from my cultural walking around all the literary sites Dublin has to offer. Stopping off to read my copy of Ulysses at the places he mentions in the day of Leopold Bloom. James Joyce's "Ulysses" is the record of a single day in the life of Leopold Bloom. The day, June 16, 1904, is significant to Joyce because it was the day when he first met Nora Barnacle (who was to become his wife). She was a chambermaid at Finn's Hotel, Dublin, and he took her for a walk on that day. Having Just reading the latest blogs they have brought my right back to earth!
I am off now to spend the rest of the day in a few pubs O’Casey, Yeats, Wilde use to frequent.
Rizwana finishes her course today so I can show around tonight and we are off on a 1916 tour tomorrow afternoon.
Jack and Annmarie, I may be having two guests coming to stay for a few days from Thursday night, Naheed's 2 boys! you will love them and can help me look after them. They can stay in Erins room.
See you on Tuesday
