Dirty Dancing and Rockport

Ok folks, here is a wee pic we've just thrown in so you can all see Jude sitting in his office at his good work in The Irish Immigration Center. As you can see he is working very hard as usual!!! Michael always insists that Jude has a pillow in work, well could he be right? Is that a blue pillow sitting on the desk behind him there. Could it have been conveniently shifted to accomodate this pic? Does Jude really have a pillow in work? Answers on a post card please.

Well it appears Jude's memory isn't what it should be as you'll notice the post-its on the wall there. He has to rely on them to do the the auld memory job for him now. The pic to the left shows Michael studying the menu in Penang, a nice wee Malaysian eating house we went to on Weds 18th before making our way to the Boston Opera House to watch the stage version of Marguerite Jnr's favourite show of all time 'Dirty Dancing'.
On Thursday we went to Cape Ann, North of Boston, to a wee town called Rockport. Very nice it was too, though Jude reckoned it was best seen in daylight as it looked liked it would definately be haunted at night-time. Check out the scary looking church here, the scary looking street the gang are walking down and the frightening house with a canoe stuck to it. Rockport was a lovely wee town, but like I say, don't go there at night.










In the pic below and in the interests of fashion and street cred, Jude had the good sense to remove his ear muffs before the photy was shot. He muttered something about not giving folks at home anything to laugh at him about. Marguerite on the other hand was so cold she briefly let her street cred go flying out the window in favour of heat, comfort and downright survival against the elements. Wha?
It's been said here before, Rockport was nice, really nice ok, but we all agreed that we were only too glad to get back in doors again. Here the two Marguerites discuss the days events over a glass of wine or eight.
