Was it 06:30hrs....I lost all track of time in Sofia I was havin such a good time.....Roll on Cyprus.
Good news is I'm signed up for Bodhran lessons, bad news is I am not starting until late September so I won't have honed my skills much more before the game in Cyprus maybe you could teach me how to play??? Do you play?

Not to worry only about that was in Sofia and what a time we all had .
