I was tagged by Herself so I really have no choice ...
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE ?
No. My mother says that she simply knew I was to be an Éamonn (complete with the unique spelling; it's usually one n and no fada or acute accent over the E) and so I am!
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Just before we walked my father's remains from Massey Brothers to St Audoen's for the funeral.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yes, most of the time.

No, but ask me again after I get married next October.

Maybe but only intermittently.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Lots, and even too much on occasion.

Meusli but no added sugar or salt.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Yes, always. (They wouldn't come off otherwise!)

Ah, you have a beard. I had an inkling you had good taste and your answer to number 25 proves it!
I'm interested in hearing more about idiot-proof chicken surprise. Since the arrival of poor Prudence, the Dwyer household's dinners have become markedly less homemade...
