Turkey Time 😎🇹🇷
This week we’ve been on holiday to Turkey with Raashi’s parents, brother Manas and his wife Kirsty. Tonight’s our last night and I’m looking forward to the entertainment on show which has been amazing every night. The resort we’re in is all inclusive and we have definitely made the most of it. I don’t normally… Continue reading Turkey Time 😎🇹🇷 →

Backstreets back!
Its been an eventful weekend for us starting with the Backstreet Boys concert on Friday night at the Hydro. A couple of our best friends had 2 spare tickets and kindly offered them to us for free! Initially I thought ‘well I probably wouldn’t pay for them but if they’re free sure why not!’ In… Continue reading Backstreets back! →

Spice up your life!
Last night the spice girls were in town and Raashi and a few friends made the journey to Edinburgh to see them, ‘zig a zig ahh’ t-shirts on and all. As we weren’t big spice girl fans, this meant it was a daddy day care day for myself and a couple of friends. We thought… Continue reading Spice up your life! →

VR Goggles
I’ve been avoiding internet as much as possible today as I’ve been trying to pretend that Liverpool didn’t actually win the champions league last night. As a Manchester United fan I think the best we can do right now is continue to pretend it didn’t happen and that Fergie is still in charge. All is… Continue reading VR Goggles →

A Seaweed Bonanza
Spent this bank holiday weekend back in Ireland at my parents caravan just outside Newcastle, County Down. We decided to take the boat back this time so we could take our wee dog Fergie with us. The boat was a lot smaller than I remember from my Uni days, yet it still seems to take… Continue reading A Seaweed Bonanza →

A win for TWDC at The Open (wide)
Had a very nice weekend kicking things off with a meal at Castle Terrace in Edinburgh on Friday night with Raashi. Raashi got some vouchers for her 30th last year and we just managed to get to use them before they expired. The food was absolutely amazing. It was a tasting menu with a wine… Continue reading A win for TWDC at The Open (wide) →

‘What’s the craic?’
Had a very busy day today back in Ireland to celebrate our youngest daughter Sienna’s christening. It’s been great to be home again and make the most of my parents babysitting and catering services – 5*’s from me would highly recommend! Enjoyed spending some time with my younger brothers Jordan and Nathan Too, before they… Continue reading ‘What’s the craic?’ →

Summer is Coming..?
Its nice to wake up to a bank holiday Monday this morning. Although how did it get to May already?! Hopefully ‘Summer is coming!’ Last week I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Edinburgh at a dental implant congress. It was basically a series of lectures from some of the best international speakers in implant… Continue reading Summer is Coming..? →

Bring back button-ups!
Had a week off the blog last week as it was Easter and I was also suffering with a severe dose of man flu, thankfully all recovered now. I spent Easter Saturday at Gleneagles golfing with friends as part of a friends birthday gift. It was stunning, such a beautiful course, great service, weather was… Continue reading Bring back button-ups! →

Spoilt for choice!
Writing this one from Duchally, a place near Auchterarder, about a hour or so north of Glasgow. Raashi and I left on Friday evening, car jam packed with nappies, groceries and 2 kids! It’s a resort with self catering lodges on site and access to a pool, sauna/jacuzzi/steam (and a bar ;-)) The scenery around… Continue reading Spoilt for choice! →

Clip in Veneers
Multitasking by writing this one while out walking our dog Fergie today and thinking about a funny appointment I had this week. One of our patients brought in a set of teeth that she purchased online. ‘Perfect smile veneers’ they were called. She left them with us after we all had a bit of a… Continue reading Clip in Veneers →

Shout out to all the Mums!
Great to see the sunshine back for Mothers Day today! Im hoping this is a sign of some nice weather coming back for Spring/Summer, although I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another beast from any direction next week. Also I totally forgot the clocks changed last night, gutted to realise its the one where… Continue reading Shout out to all the Mums! →

Hard Work Pays Off
After a busy week this week it was nice to have Saturday off. My mum was over having some dental work done, and babysitting of course. She left early on Saturday evening to make it back for my brother Nathans boxing match that night. For our desert Raashi and I then tried to make sticky… Continue reading Hard Work Pays Off →

Happy St. Paddy’s!
17th March has always been one of my favourite days of the year. Celebrating the life of St Patrick with a few pints of the black stuff was always a great day out. Personally I had an added gratitude to pay St Paddy for driving all the snakes out of Ireland too, as I’ve always… Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s! →

A course in London on Hamstead Heath
I had an early start on Tuesday this week for a 6am flight to London. I was attending a course on advanced gum surgery that was booked a few weeks previously. My travel arrangements were quite tight in terms of timing, as I didn’t want to spend the evening in London the night before. So… Continue reading A course in London on Hamstead Heath →

Setting Challenges..
This Friday night we enjoyed a team night out to 29 in Glasgow city centre. The occasion was a celebration of successfully completing our practice inspection (which comes along every 3 years) and to thank all our staff for working so hard lately. Our new computer system is amazing although its been a steep learning… Continue reading Setting Challenges.. →

Lost In Translation?
Having moved over from Belfast for University, I’m now enjoying my 12th year of being in Glasgow. I remember when I first came over my thick Belfast twang was seldom understood. I got used to seeing the confused look remain on a persons face after the third time of saying ‘sorry what?’ after I had… Continue reading Lost In Translation? →

How Do You Like Your Eggs In The Morning?
Feeling very refreshed today after a 10 hour sleep last night! Our new baby Sienna is starting to sleep for a bit longer at the moment which is great, and when she does wake up I do feel a bit guilty for nodding back off to sleep but (un)fortunately I don’t have the tools required… Continue reading How Do You Like Your Eggs In The Morning? →

New Years Resolutions Out The Window?
New years resolutions. Who has managed to survive past January and is still going strong with them? Raashi and I wrote ours on a piece of paper and signed it, then stuck it to the fridge as a constant reminder for ourselves to try to stick to them. Among others they are: Me: … Continue reading New Years Resolutions Out The Window? →

Dentists – Do as we say not as we do!
Saturday night used to be a going out night for Raashi and I. After a hard week at work it was great to go out with friends and enjoy a few beers or wine. This weekend I realised just how much times have changed for us when the only ‘going out’ we were interested in… Continue reading Dentists – Do as we say not as we do! →
