Live Here, Live Now

April 28, 2008

I was in Scotland last week. While there I took a drive down memory lane – I don’t know if I was looking for something, if I was it does not exist anymore.
This photo show where I lived for most of my childhood years, the hills in the background was my play ground back [...]

Glasgow v’s Dublin

April 26, 2008

I just spent a few days in Glasgow. It is so clean – I live in Dublin and the streets are dirty with rubbish that people have just dropped, mostly now I don’t notice it. However when I visit some other city the contrast is startling. And it is not just the [...]

Being A Hermit on Achill Island

April 18, 2008

Most of my life I have loved living in the city. The convenience of everything nearby, loads of things to do and places to eat at. However the older I get the less I like the noise.
I have a dream – and nothing quite as big as Martin Luther’s. Mind is kinda [...]

Plastic Bags in Ireland

April 17, 2008

I watched Newsnight earlier. The brits are complaining about plastic bags, what to do with them, how to live without them, should they tax them; as if solving the plastic bag problem will make the world all right.

April 14, 2008

I’m Beat By Myself

April 11, 2008

I have been trying to change some habits for nearly 20 years – that is a long time to be unhappy with how I do some things. I often get up loads of enthusiasm and say to myself – okay today this will happen and that will not happen.
Most times I don’t even last [...]

Getting Things Done – Or Maybe Not…

April 10, 2008

I started today thinking that I would clear my desk and my email. Well the photo shows my desk at 4.30pm and I have 243 unanswered emails in my in box – 70 of them have been there for more than six months – yes they do need to be dealt with eventually but [...]

Dublin from The Wicklow Way

April 9, 2008

I took this photo from the start of the Wicklow Way a few weeks back. If you know Dublin you will see landmarks that are familiar to you – if you don’t…
Some photos I look back at and like them a lot – this is one of those – though it does lose some [...]

Fruit Smoothie

April 9, 2008

I discovered hidden away at the back of one of our kitchen cupboards a smoothie maker. So now for the last month I have been experimenting with making smoothies. I must admit some of my experiments have went down the sink – some mixtures of fruit together just don’t work.
So as is usual [...]

Web Hosting in Ireland

April 7, 2008

One would think that web hosting would be easy and standard. I wish it was. I am in the process of moving my own web design website today and it has disappeared in the middle of it.
So I have walked away from my computer and I am sitting on the couch in the [...]
