On Friday 14th June, we all secretly gathered at O'Connor's Pub, Doolin, County Clare, to surprise Mike on his 40th Birthday. Ann ensured that while we all drove to Doolin that afternoon, none of us bumped into them on the road, by relay-texting me to let us know where they were at all times. Even when they arrived at their hotel, she hid in the bathroom to text me! The surprise worked out very well as Mike never suspected and was lost for words for quite a few minutes.

When Mike walked unwittingly into O'Connor's and saw a whole bunch of familiar faces propping up the Bar, he uttered a small prayer out loud to Jesus!
Did we get ye good!
Three large brandies please. Ah go on!
Three large brandies please - oops did we order already!
Following a drink at O'Connor's, we headed off to a local restaurant for a slap-up birthday dinner
Uh oh, you're not the wife - never mind!
Huh, I gotta birthday cake
I'd like to thank the Wife for giving me a helluva surprise. Shucks.
