If you look at any number of Irish blogs you’ll see regular updates about the weather. It’s not that we all have nothing better to talk about, it’s that the weather here really can be atrocious. Last summer it rained every day for more than a month, probably closer to two, and everyone said it just [...]

Let Me Think About That
Posted in Uncategorized on August 18, 2008 | 4 Comments »
While I was just flipping back through The Artist’s Way I came to a section of exercises that I had never started. So I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and do them here.
1. My favourite childhood toy was… my imaginary friend, Mr. Mollywood. He would do anything I could dream up. Far [...]
I Think I’m Addicted
Posted in Uncategorized on August 17, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I must be addicted. There’s no other reason why I was up at close to 3am crying for Great Britain’s marathon team. I cried for Mara Yamauchi because she did so well (I immediately liked her when I found out she was an expat in Asia), then I cried for Liz Yelling’s fall, then I [...]
Rain Rain Go Away – Take 1,678

Its raining again. Not exactly shocking news. But today I found a unique way to combat the rainy day blues: a spotty jersey cardi that might just require sunglasses to look at directly!
I can’t wait until it gets here!
Question of the Week

This one made me laugh… at the poor fool who asked it.
Does Ireland even have an Olympic team?
Now, the two posts I have written about cheering for the Irish team might have been the products of my imagination, but they weren’t. Of course Ireland has an Olympic team! It’s not as big as the teams sent by [...]
All Me. All the Time.

There’s a fun meme going around and I was just urged (via email) to give it a go. Well, I do like to talk about myself…
1. My uncle once: was an only child. Then my grandparents had eight more.
2. Never in my life: have I sung the right words to ”Karma Chameleon”.
3. When I was five: I [...]
Must. Stop. Laughing.

I’ve been writing some fiction lately, and the more I write the funnier this gets.
Now I really should get back to work.
Anyone. And Everyone.

So, apparently a few people took exception to my last post since it “looks like” I’m cheering for Ireland, America, Great Britain, Singapore and Uzbekistan.
It doesn’t “look like” anything people, I am cheering for all of them. I’m also cheering for a lot more besides.
See, I don’t really go in for the country versus country [...]
I Love The Olympics
Posted in Uncategorized on August 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I really do. Every two years I get caught up in sports I haven’t watched since the last Olympics and become somewhat obsessive about not missing a moment of the blood, sweat and tears that are being shed all over multiple television stations. I even watch the boxing, which I will not do when it is professional [...]
Like Rabbits
Posted in Uncategorized on August 10, 2008 | 5 Comments »
To round out the posts on our little holiday, I must add this one. Out in the front garden of the Cape house are two decorative bunnies. They normally “chase” each other somewhere amongst the shrubs. In all my summers at the Cape I’ve only seen two people move these bunnies. One was a cousin [...]
