The alarm went off at 9 - off to Gare de Lyon to meet up with dad, quick coffee, luxurious lunch and catching up, dropping him and his friends of by the train, quick stop at home to change.

Beer in Luxembourg and napping by Paris Plages with J.P, wing night with the gang, beer at galway, ride all the way home (thanks again, John).

500 days of summer to drown out the sounds of snoring boys in the bedroom, chatting on facebook with a friend, who offers a prepaid taxi, movie and drinks at his place - off into the night again. A couple of screwdrivers and all of Gangs of New York later, and the clock strikes 9 again...

Phew!
