Off On Holiday
Well two days to go and we are off to Canada - flying to Vancouver and then driving up into the Rockies.
I am looking forward to it - but…
There is always a but!
I hate flying and I have two long flights - so sleeping tabs are in order and hopefully that will knock me out [...]

Being A Blogger
I started this blog for a reason. To keep in touch and share some of the things in my life with some people that I don’t see any more. I am surprised at how open I have become over the nearly two years that I have been writing here - I have realised that [...]

Half Blind - I Don’t Thnk So
I hurt my eye in the middle of the night while sleeping. Odd thing to do I think, but the pain woke me at 5am - that was no fun. So called an emergency doctor for the second time in my life, and he came out and mis-diagnosed me. Fun, eh.
I went to the pharmacy [...]

Rhubarb Recipes
I watched a program on TV tonight about the 1970’s - my God we were so unhealthy. The amount of drink that was consumed as a matter of course and the amount of food - one interesting fact though on the amount of food. People ate more, 750 on average more calories per day but [...]

Cycling in Dublin
Well I’ve not been on this one for a while, but it’s getting up there and managing once again to drive me a bit nuts.
In Ireland, and the UK for that matter, car drivers think it is okay to use their vehicles against pedestrians and cyclists. The green light comes on to cross the road [...]

Where Are YOU Going With Your Life?
Don’t know?
If that is the answer take some time and find out now. I spent too many years of my life floating aimlessly, alway believing that everything would be alright - it was, just alright.

Live Here, Live Now
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 [...]

I’m Beat By Myself
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 [...]
