25% off Games at Tesco

In case you are in the market for a games console (or games themselves) in the run up to Christmas, Tesco are doing 25% off all such articles this weekend only (October 30th to November 2nd 2008). I just got myself a Nintendo DS Lite for €119.99 which is a good bit cheaper than any of the other local (or online) stores.

The Mom Song

As parents of a delightful and vibrant 4 year old (going on 40), my wife and I constantly find ourselves re-using phrases that our parents used (in vain) on us. This regularly brings a smile to my face and I frequently pause to ponder about our own parent’s emotions back then, and how they must feel now looking at us going through the same thing.

I guess if I find myself witnessing history repeating itself once more in 20-30 years time, I’ll have passed on a little magic of my own, and may even be able to answer my own question.

With this in mind, my brother-in-law sent me this fine piece of art that captures many of the everyday phrases that our mothers undoubtedly used on us all. Enjoy!
