When it became apparent that I was going to need a cane, Larry and I both knew that the silver hospital types the HSE are so fond of providing were not going to cut it for me. Sorry, but no. Ugly, ugly, ugly. No, I was going to require something a little snazzier if I [...]

Gift Guide ‘09
Posted in Uncategorized on November 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, with the exception of those for Laurence I’ve pretty much got my Christmas gifts all sorted. They’ve been bought, they’ve been wrapped and in all honesty if I could put them all in the post and get them out of my bedroom I’d happily do that tomorrow.
Here in Dublin sales have started up all [...]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I’m celebrating with lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. Including a fudge brownie sundae because it’s a holiday and all.

Last night I dreamed that my older brother moved to Dublin and came over to Sunday dinner with a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing.
I didn’t want to wake up from that one.
Au Revoir Oprah

Now that everyone, their brother and their brother’s news channel have let me know that Oprah is going to wrap up her show in 2011, I have mixed emotions.
On the one hand I’ve always looked at Oprah’s show as the tv equivalent of a woman’s magazine, glossy, slick, full of human interest stories, cute products [...]

The Great Debate

And so the great hair debate continues to rage.
Thank you to everyone who offered opinions, but I guess now I should reveal that the red hair post was largely theoretical. I do love the look of really well done bright red hair, particularly on women who pair it with business suits or tweeds or some [...]
