Today, Ideal Homes Exhibition with me ma. Argument on the DART as to which station was closest to the RDS. Sydney Parade is not it, but would she listen? I am now wearing the hairclip I got as penance for not believing me. "I'm a Dub, I'm right!" "Mother, you haven't lived in Dublin since about 15 years before the DART existed, and may I point out that you're bloody wrong!" My grandmother's learned helplessness seems to be spreading down the generations. I can only hope that it skips mine. Because I like being able to figure out how to get out through the ticket barriers at Connelly and how to buy a ticket from the machines. Still, 8 hours of quality time, one cigarette, two cups of coffee and no matricide. I think it counts as a win. She's not made too many comments about my knowledge of Dublin hotels, which is probably for the best.

For my birthday this year I've got my neonatal resus course. So that's my 31st planned out for me.
