Golf and things

Well well, here I am again. golfing the bit in and out! Got a great score on Mr Captains prize to the ladies. 42 pts. I am cut to 24.
I am feeling quite tired at the moment. Still it will be the weekend soon and I have a couple of days off next week.

Only a few more weeks til I go to Phoenix Arizona to meet the cousins. I am really looking forward to it. It should be great fun.

Lady Captains day on Friday. Hope I play well..

Another day another dollar! I just got back from a lovely week's holiday in Spain. As usual Donegal is cold (10 degrees C) very wet (pissin') and windy (gale force). Oh roll on retirement. Who in their right mind would want to live here? Although it is a beautiful place when the weather is half decent. Which happens occasionally. It is a bit of a come down from 30 degrees C and full sun. I just suit the sunshine.

Right now I am trying to adjust to being back at work. I will be ok in a couple of days.

Who would like to live in a place where you can say, lets have a barbie, or go the the beach or play golf without having to say "weather permitting"? ! ? Mmm.. wouldn't that be nice?

Opening post

16th April 2009

This is the Kneafsey O'Sullivan family blog. I have no idea what will end up on it but here goes.

Tho Kneafsey part of the family originates form Foxford Co Mayo. John Keafsey was a small farmer just outside Foxford. He had the usual large family and one of his sons, William became a school teacher in the village of Ballycastle in north Mayo. His eldest son, Jack was my grandfather. Jack married Kitty Gordon from Enniscrone Co Sligo and they had 6 children. My father Desmond was the second eldest. The others were Gordon, the eldest, Celine, Margaret (known as Madge) Reggie and Brendan. My parents were Desmond and Bernie (née Normoyle). I had one brother, Paul, who was killed while mountain climbing in the Rockies near Lake Louise Banff Alberta Canada. I married Christopher O'Sullivan and we had three children, Stephen, Lorraine and Sharon. Christy was descended from the O'Sullivan Beares of Beare Island Co Cork. his grandfather George was the schoolteacher on the island in the early part of the twenthieth century (circa 1903 to approx 1920. This could be inaccurate and I am open to correction).

I wonder if I will remember this url to find this post again. This is my first attempt to create a blog so heaven only knows!!!??
