I am not a great reader of poetry but I do occasionally come across pieces that I really like. Ever since I started blogging and writing I have also discovered a greater love of poetry. Whereas when I was younger I did not understand it and even as I might have seen the beauty of [...]

Attention! Attention! This is a call out for a joint venture that I have the privilege of taking part in. A new blog is born. It is a joint blog project by myself and the exceedingly witty and fabulous Christy from Cat Fur To Make Kitten Britches. It is two girls, one blog, 3703 miles. [...]
Random ramblings

I sit here trying to come up with something half-decent to say or at least something good to start with and I realised that this post will be one of those where I really do not have a clue what I will write about. So I will just write about whatever happens to fall onto [...]
I have decided that I do have a little too many different things going on in this blog. Too many categories that do not always match well together. So what I have done is that I have set up a separate blog where I will only post poems and the like whenever the mood strikes [...]
Buuuuu…
Posted: October 29, 2011 in MiscellaneousTags: Halloween, Holidays, Just messin..., Poetry of some description
Tick tock, tick tock… The night is never-ending. No light is lit. Sleep is fleeting. Darkness slithers around like wisps of smoke. Shadows that cannot be seen. In fright eyes open. A breathless scream is felt. The room is seething. … and before I forget I wish you all a Happy Halloween.

It has been very hectic lately. Work, some more work and more stress – then trying to be somewhat social and meet up with friends at the weekend even though I am sure I have not exactly been the life of the party… yawning my way through most weekends. I was going to write a [...]
Rum hazed days

I’m sitting here feeling a little bit guilty that I have not posted anything for a whole week. My excuse is hazed in rum fumes. I had a few really busy days in the beginning of the week in work as all had to be done in time for our team’s kick-off event on Thursday. [...]
What sunscreen factor is cat fur equal to?

It is now late afternoon and I have spent most of today outside. A nice walk and several hours lounging in a sun-chair on my balcony. I am good at lounging, excellent even. It is still about 26 degrees C inside my apartment and my cats are in a permanent cat nap position. Very similar [...]
Et voilà – there was the sun

Finally after many miserable weeks of rain, clouds and subzero temperatures (OK then…maybe not “sub”zero) the sun finally decided to graze the Irish shores and bring some summer temperatures. This was a rather unexpected pleasure I have to say as I had resigned myself to spending another weekend indoors looking at the rain and wishing [...]
A muse MIA…

A muse has gone and gotten herself missing in action… namely my muse. She has a tendency to do this. She is an illusive being. One minute ideas are coming forth with the speed of light and the next she off on an extended holiday. Here I am sitting in desperate need of some inspiration [...]
