Apologies for not updating this blog! We keep forgetting! But we’ll have to start back at it again because our trip to LA was just so funny! So where did we leave off……oh yes…. When we had finally recovered from our exhausting, demanding, arduous exercise experience, we thought we perhaps should do what we had come all the way from Ireland to do…..look for work! We had almost forgotten as we spent most of the time sitting on our moderately sized (but gradually growing) asses on our tiny little blue couch dreaming of all our summer prospects which, ironically, could not be reached without a few dollars – well considering our plans – a few hundred…..million dollars. We had planned to take trips to Tijuana, Las Vegas, San Diego and finish with one big shopping spree in New York…..needless to say that the nearest thing to a shopping spree was us in Rite Aid stocking up on our usual supply of chocolate and water. So jobs it was then! But where to ...

Hey again, here's what happened with the chicken and our endeavours to be fit and healthy…hah…. even saying this makes us laugh! In Ireland, on the 'rare' occasion that the weather is chilly, freezing or sub-zero artic like, we Irish like to tuck in to some good old-fashioned chicken – the traditional Sunday roast. Since we were trying to revive our " Bree Van de Kamp " phase, we decided that although unlike Ireland the weather in LA was scorching, sizzling and swelteringly boiling, something about our lives there needed an Irish touch – a chicken was the answer. So we bought one. But the hard part was still around the corner – the small matter of cooking it. The three of us stood in our kitchen and gawped vacantly at this strange looking lump of smarmy headless fowl. It looked back at us unresponsive (thank God) and raw. After what seemed like a half an hour gawking with baffled white faces at this ornithological wonder, we set about cooking the chicken. ...

Hey again! So sorry we took so long to update. We’re back though and we’ll update it more frequently. We’ve so much more to tell you. And if you thought the first part was funny wait till you see what happened to us – it involves constantly hiding from our apartment manager, a lot of chocolate and one to many trips to rite aid and Ralphs Ok, so when we first arrived in Westwood, the tenants of the apartment, whose names we still didn’t know, were just clearing out all their stuff. We greeted them with our usual Hello ‘cough sma’. Just in case you forgot from our last blog, their names were Usma and asma and we could never tell who was who. One of them watched us as we signed the contract and was bemused when we offered her $1200, or our first months rent, in a wad of notes. We were very unorganised – we had no envelope or anything. It was like we were criminals with all the rent in 20 dollar bills. All we were missing were the shades and the briefcases! Anyway, the ...
