Car Crash, Ballsbridge, Dublin, Ireland

June 30, 2007

We had just entered the house and heard the bang.  I picked up the phone, I knew the sound, I have heard cars crash before.  And living in Dublin it is not unusual.
I have written before about bloody Irish driving, it is utter crap.  The driving is selfish and careless, and I mean could not [...]

Peace Pilgrim

June 28, 2007

I received a book in the post this morning – it came to me from America – it cost me nothing.  Now that I find strange.  Someone printed this book, stored it, then at my email request they sent it by post to me here in Ireland and it was all free to me.  Odd.
The [...]

Flexible Thinking

June 27, 2007

How flexible is my thinking?  I have noticed as people around me get older they become less flexible, it is something that I did not notice until it got to a certain level.  Perhaps that is what life has in store for all of us who manage to live long enough.

June 26, 2007

I had the good fortune to live in Vienna for some time, then Prague after that.  Someone said to me at the time that this experience would make me a more tolerant person, (did they think I needed to be, I wonder?).  And perhaps it has in some ways, however in others I notice tiny [...]

Our bed feels empty, just me.  Our flat, well just me again.  She said to me before “it is [...]

On My Own

June 16, 2007

Just left Anna off at the airport. The house is quiet. Saturday afternoon. Very quiet.
It is fine during the week when she is away, there is always lots of work. So today, a Saturday, I work – it turns everything else off, my mind disappears into the work, work is good [...]

West Highland Way

June 12, 2007

The West Highland Way by Walking in Scotland is a web site that I have been writing for a while. I have walked parts of it again recently to get some good photos, but time is always an issue at present, therefore the photos are not yet up, but soon hopefully.
I forget that Scotland [...]

Nobody Likes a Smart Arse

June 6, 2007

Yip, that is true.  I sit in many conversation and hear people say some stuff that is utter crap, and what do I do – well nothing usually.  That was not always the case.  I had the fun, pleasure and pain of studying English Lit and Philosophy.
Many people when they heard I was studying philosophy [...]

Dublin Bay – Sea Safari

June 3, 2007

Sea Safari Dublin Bay. For a great hour in Dublin Bay try this.

And they give you real pretty red suits – they do keep the rain off, as it did while we were out – however most of the water comes from the sea as the boat twists and turns across Dublin Bay at [...]
