Spooky evening
Posted: January 22, 2011 in Books, Life, MiscellaneousTags: Film, Foggy evening, Mood, Movies, Reading, Reflections, Scary movies, Spooky
I look outside and all I can see is a misty light coming from the streetlights. The fog is so thick you cannot see further than a few meters ahead. Every light has that soft spooky glow that reminds me of old scary movies (yuk!) or stories about witches flying unseen through the dark night [...]
When smiles break through

It is once again Sunday evening and soon time for bed. Tomorrow I will go to work for the first time in a week but right now that world is tucked away in a far away corner of my mind. I am sitting in the sofa looking at my two cats who are cuddled up [...]

Time to dig out the boots, jumpers and warmer jackets. It is colourful and beautiful outside. The air was crisp [...]
Taking some downtime

Well, I am back in Dublin again and it feels really good. This week away was not exactly what I needed at the moment. It was a bit stressful, hectic, intense and at times even an awkward work week. Meeting new people who were not overly thrilled to meet me, repeating the same message about [...]

I am sitting down having a cup of tea as I type this. I have no specific topic in mind in this particular moment. I just picked up the laptop and started typing away. There is no intention behind it and no red thread thought out. I can not tell you what I will blog [...]
The lure of a good book
Posted: May 3, 2010 in Books, UncategorizedTags: Books, Fairy tale, Joy, Life, Magic, Reading, Story, Tale
Staying awake most of the night just because I can’t put a book down – that is something that I have done countless times. That feeling of becoming totally absorbed in a good story is something that I discovered at an early age. My parents read fairy tales to me from as long as I [...]
