Into the sandstorm… kinda

Went for a longer walk today with some friends. In gale storm winds with the sand clinging to everything. Yeah, walking along the beach in strong wind might not be the best idea unless you want to chew sand for a good few hours but it was worth it. Lots of kite surfers and wind [...]

Pick a’ Mix

Right… time for a bit of a scatty post. Which is a reflection of how scatty brained I feel this evening. Thank God the weekend is nearing, though I was convinced most of the day today that it is Tuesday. Don’t ask, I have no idea why. Having spend a fabulous weekend away over Easter [...]

A weekend away

This Easter weekend was great. I spend it with a friend, going to the west coast of Ireland. Staying in a lovely B&B in Salthill, within walking distance of Galway. Getting away from Dublin was so nice. Sometimes it is exactly what is needed. The scenery on the west coast is fantastic, even though the [...]

That thing we do not speak off

You know when you read a book or watch a film and they mention “that thing we do not speak off”? It is a different thing each time; be it an illness, a way of being, a history, a past occurrence etc. There is always something and as you sit there and read or watch [...]

Skating along

Oh my… I have not posted in AGES! What has happened you might ask…. well time happened. AND a whole load of other shite that I’m really not in the mood for or have time for (see: time again..) to go through. Let’s just leave it at time has flown. There has not been enough [...]

Moving through layers

I finally made it down to the club this evening for a training session. It felt really good. As always, when I have been to the club, I am glad I went. I went there feeling determined and up for whatever would be there. I enjoyed every minute and the two hours flew by. When [...]

Balm for my soul

Walking for hours (not quite knowing where the path would lead) in fabulous surroundings, taking a few pictures, soaking up the fresh air and the sun… it does not get much better for the soul than that. This weekend gone by was like balm for my soul. Last week a very good friend and I [...]

Scatterbrain

It feels weird. For the first time in ages my work week has not been full on busy. I have actually had time to feel… wait for it… … a bit BORED! Wow. As in really? Today I actually caught myself procrastinating – well mainly because I have this one thing I need to get [...]

Internal battle

I was perfectly fine this morning. Then one little thing in work was delayed (which let’s face it, really was not a big deal) and it felt like a nuclear explosion went off in my head. I wanted to rant and rage about it and just about caught myself and then I could hear my [...]

What can I say…

Sitting here with a pounding headache. Too many hours in work. Lack of sleep, too many thoughts going through my mind. A mess. Can’t even tell you why. This has felt like the longest week ever. It is stormy outside – matches my mood. A sunny day would have felt totally wrong. So instead I [...]
