iced tea etc

i dont know how im going to smuggle an entire crate of liptons iced tea into ireland but i have to figure it out somehow dammnit!! this stuff is better than water here.. well i say that with reservations ofcourse as nothing is as good as the clear stuff but in this heat where you sweat out more than just H20 Liptons comes to the rescue! i think i have atleast one can of the stuff a day, along with about 3 litres of water.. and thats without even trying, anyone who knows me from home knows how i tried to be all healthy for Finland by forcing myself to drink 1.5litres a day and all that resulted in was me taking way too many toilet breaks.. ah well its all exercise at the end of the day isnt it.. (oh dear god i have started to talk with sports person vocab... this finland lark is clearly getting to me) on that note you will be happy to know that i have recieved the schedule of events for the matches and the like and on the 11th of August Ireland ladies face Austria.... my god it is actually happening!

wait how did we get on to this.. from liptons iced tea? well theres a stream of conscience for ya~!

so i have 3 proper days left on this island. last night we all went out, some of the crew are heading home tomo and they didnt want to go out mad tonight cos hangover + ferry = :( or so i have been told! it wasnt as mental a night as they had planned i think, the other 12 nights on the trot may have caught up with them, and me.. well im just not good at staying out later than 4am when i get it into my head that i'm sleepy (dublin peeps take that smile off your faces!) so that night started amusingly enough with Aoife and Keith wandering off up the hill to see the village at night leaving the rest of us to shower and moisterise (currently a favourite thing of mine to do) when they arrive back with an almost empty vodka bottle we knew their night had already started~! so the booze from other magically available bottles of vodka were poured and a half hearted game of truth or dares began...mainly instigated by aoife who wanted to share ;) then buzzy got a bit awkward answering things infront of emma the gfriend so he left us to it. some time later we all headed to Fun Pub to pick up Clare and let Aoife sing in the kareoke... she chose the cheeky girls song (touch my bum?) who knows why... then it was on to my fave place on the island.. Coo...the music there is awesome and the aircon is delicious~ after Coo it was Dream, for free of course but i was lagging at this spoint.. it was 3am... i nipped off for some food and when i got back we were leaving for Circus. now im so happy i made it there at last. the 2 barmen are not only terrible attractive but are really talented as they displayed by lighting 2 bottles of booze each and proceeding the toss them about to the tune of firestarter and the like!!! amazing!! even if it did raise the temperatures when they ate the fire and then breathed it out.. how they still have eye brows i will never know! but at this stage it was past 4am and i was over it, i sauntered my way home thanking god that we live in the centre of the town, bumped into a few heads along the way but even their company wasnt enough to convince me to stay out later. still managed to gt down to the beach for 11.30 this morning though.. thats dedication for ya~ ;)

i honestly dont know if i will ever be comfortable in a full set of clothes again! tonights festivites will be in Lord Byrons restaurant where the girls tell me you can get a massive delicious steak, im so looking forward to it cos im certain that the burgers i have eaten whilst here have not been beef but dog meat (there are really no strays in Ios and i'd say thats why)
