Áras an Uachtaráin

I have no idea when I took this picture, but it looks nice and sunny so I thought I’d post it.  Behold, Áras an Uachtaráin or the home of the President of Ireland.  It seems that the public can enter it each Saturday so maybe I’ll have to look into that.  

This house sits in the [...]

Hodge Podge

I realised that I have a lot of un-connected thoughts today, so I thought I’d offer a hodge podge of whats on my radar.  Prepare to be dazzled!
- The Olympics.  Yes, it was kind of everyone to check in to see if I am still sane now that they are all over.  I am suffering from [...]

Goodnight and God Bless

New Pond

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

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.

I Think I’m Addicted
