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 [...]

Joint venture call-out!

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. [...]

Taking pictures in the rain

Autumn has most definitely arrived in Dublin. The rain has not stopped since yesterday afternoon and the trees are still showing off their leaves. The world is looking colourful. It is beautiful. Now those who know me, will know that rain is not one of my favorite things in the world. Normally I spend rainy [...]

Sunburned, tired and feeling good.

Just got back from Enniskerry after having walked the first part of the Wicklow Way with a friend … even though we also somehow deviated from the Wicklow Way and ended up on the Dublin Way at the end. Still no idea how that happened but let me put it this way… the sign-posting for [...]

A cold beer in the sun…

In this particular moment I am sitting on my balcony in my sun-chair with my laptop in my lap (obviously -  as I have yet to invent telepathic blogging…working on it though). I have a cold beer (German pilsner) next to me and let me tell you… it is oh so good! The sun is [...]

Friday’s tune

Such a brilliant tune! “Jigsaw” by Ryan Sheridan – filmed in Dublin. I loooooove this song!

Boredom strikes but laughter prevails

The sun is setting over Dublin. Setting after a very sunny albeit windy day. It has been a great day today. A day filled with sunshine, great company, a nice long walk, good food in a cosy pub and a shandy to polish it off. I am very happy with how this Sunday turned out… [...]

A pinch of this and that

It has been a whole week since I posted something on my blog. Can’t believe time has just flown so fast. It has been one of those weeks were much was done in the “real” world with little time to read blogs, check emails or write anything down. I will not bore anyone with updates [...]

Snow ninja

It is a busy week at the moment but sometimes you just need to disconnect from work and everything and just let your inner child roam free…which is exactly what I did the other evening. It was snowing like mad once again in Dublin… Snow ball fights were a given in the evening… I lost, [...]

Slowly back on (icy)track?

I dared the elements and ventured out in the ice and snow among the deserted streets of Dublin to go the extra mile, to make the effort to, to make it to the club for a training class. OK… slight exaggeration… it wasn’t that dramatic really. I drove to the dojo…it was a bit icy [...]
