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 [...]

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 [...]
Merry Christmas!

I was just about to sit down on the sofa and put on a Christmas film when I realized that part from this very moment, I really will have no time for blogging at all before Christmas. The work laptop is shut down for now – ready to get fired up again tomorrow morning at [...]

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 [...]
Sometimes…

Sometimes it is too easy to focus on all that is annoying and frustrating out there. When you look and all you see is the frustrations in work or school. When you focus on the people who are getting you down. When all you can say are smartass comments about someone’s stupid behavior. Look around [...]

I was wandering around my apartment today, taking a break from work, when I laid my eyes on this sign which hangs in my hallway. I felt it is my duty to share this message with you so out the camera came. Have a great Friday all!
Senses and images.

The last two weeks have passed really, really fast and I am once again back in Dublin. I have had a great time in Sweden and could write a long detailed account about all the good times, hysterical laughs, great conversations, lively discussions, divine wines drunk and fabulous food eaten… but… I decided not to. Instead I [...]
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 [...]
A weekend gone past fast…

It is Sunday afternoon once again and I sit here nursing my cup of tea. This seems to have turned into a ritual of sorts on Sundays – a cup of tea, music in the background and writing posts surrounded by my two cats. The weekend has flown past once again. It has been a [...]

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