Irish summers happen in May. Yes, truth be told that is about it, for the rest of the summer it mostly just rains, well that is what it feels like - I know it is not true as I [...]

Christ Church Evensong Dublin
It is because of this man that I have been to Christ Church evensong - twice! Now to many that may not be a surprise, but to those who know me and my dislike of religions, well that says it all…
I do have a laugh at this dislike sometimes. I own a website [...]

Ikea Dublin
Ikea Dublin – afraid not folks, for a change our friends north of that line called a boarder get the chance first for something new.

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 [...]
