Prague, and ill…
So here I am in Prague, and I have been in bed for the last few days. I was looking forward to getting away and relaxing for a little time, hopefully tomorrow I will be better as Anna nearly is and she has had the same thing for one day longer.
The fireworks have been [...]

Wolfe Tone Statue Stephens Green
I have wandered around cities in Europe and seen many statues of influential figures from the past. We today build these in memory of people who changed the world or tried - they are generally people who made a difference. I take photos of them and often go and read a bit to [...]

Marks & Spencer Dublin
Marks & Spencer Dublin is not for me. It used to be, so what the hell has happened?

Vision Express Dublin
I bought reading glasses at Vision express about a year ago. And they were grand to start with, they look good and they are comfortable to wear. But they are hell to keep clean.

Living in cities.
Currently I live in Dublin. I have had the opportunity to also live in Prague and Vienna, and I grew up in Glasgow. Life in many ways is much easier in cities. It has always been easy to meet people and make friends, it is easier than outside cities to find good [...]
