Back to school!
I was back amongst some of my former school teachers last week - as a guest speaker at the annual Ard Scoil Phobal Bheanntrai awards night.
As you can imagine, when one is in school, one has no idea that in the future one might be selected for such a task! So it was slightly surreal... but also very enjoyable.
I got great feedback from my speech - including a lovely text from one of the students while on air last Sunday afternoon. But truly, I think it was the students who were the inspiring ones - they are diligent, mannerly and talented - and deserved all the accolades bestowed upon them. Organising such a smooth-running awards night is also no easy task - so well done to everyone involved!
Below are a few of the photos from the night - first one is me with Christina Murray, a bit of a mathematics genius by all accounts!
Below is school principal Michael Milner (formerly my geography teacher!), with John O'Grady, who achieved 600 points in his Leaving Cert last year and is now studying medicine in UCC. Marguerite O'Driscoll, awards night co-ordinator, and science teacher at the school, completes the line-up.
...And above is Mr. Milner again and also Danny O'Sullivan, who is an outstanding dancer and performed for us on the night. He has already come second in a World Championship. The future Michael Flatley, I reckon!

well..
who am I?? Secret agent? hardly...
more like a leaf in the wind...
Just a Martina fan and a REDFM listener..
Thanks Mr Clever (aka pervy teacher!) ...and not a touch of Botox either!
A leaf in the wind - even more mysterious!
And Miss Lalalaa, where did you send your letter?
that anonymous viagra bloke doesnt get it, who needs viagra, when martina keeps posting those pics..hehe!!!
HaHa, Mr. Clever! And yet I have no new pics this week... sorry!
Hope everyone enjoyed their pancakes last night... will post again soon, I promise!
Mmm...i luv pancakes(",)
Martina...who do we address our letters to??
Oh, and by the way...your pic is in the RSVP magazine...(",)
Hi Miss Lalalaa, It's probably politically incorrect for me to get involved in advising you on what you queried... so I'm sorry, I 'll have to let you do your own research... Big Brother is watching an' all that!
Yeah, I saw the pic, thanks.. me in high-heeled boots on a treadmill with a glass of champagne... now, if only every gym visit could be like that!
high heel boots??? now why can't you come to my gym???? damn it!
i'll supply the bubbles.. well, i do in the jacuzzi...hehe!
Chief Executive Officer:
Carol O' Beirne
Programme Director:
Colm O' Sullivan
National Sales Director:
Niall Whelan
above is a list of the decsion makers at REDFM as far as I can tell. sending the letter to the CEO is probably the place to start.. or copy the letter to all three.
Again you need to get all of your friends to write as well.. even if the letter just says.. I WANT MARTINA BACK!! .. That would be enough..
This is a great station.. I think they have made a mistake. You Miss lala.. can be the key person to point that out.
Hello,Martina!You moved to the new time slot on the radio,right? I didn't know it.And you have more programs!!You must be very busy and tired everyday.
Please take care of your health and sometimes update your blog!
We're always looking forward to your talk.Have a good day !
Hi Yumi,
You are right - I am very tired and busy everyday... so busy that I haven't been able to update my blog at all! Apologies about that. Yes, there have been days when I have been feeling very unhealthy lately... no time to eat properly and a lot of late nights, between one thing and another. It's just a phase though... life is full of different phases. Looking forward to the next one!
Hi all!
Best my wishes to Admin.
Now I understand, that for site creation it is necessary to be not webmaster, but the psychologist. Tomorrow I shall return again.
