Right now I’m after finishing my cereal and I’m having a coffee and it really has hit the spot. Not every cup of coffee (or mug) makes you think “you know, that was exactly what I needed” but the first one of the day tends to have a better hit rate – in every way…

Yesterday my email account was hacked and everybody in my address book was sent something – not sure what as I didn’t open it. Anyway three cheers for Google! They decided that it was spam and blocked it so the mails didn’t go anywhere. My only problem after that was to think of a new…

Or Shankill Old Folks Association – have their regular book sale on the first Saturday of every month. We don’t normally get to go out to it too often as himself has to work – however since he is out sick we ventured out – mind you we don’t venture out for too long as…

Actually gone this evening! I know it’s silly but I do look forward to having my hair cut. I love the fact that apart from the length in the fringe I don’t really notice too much that it’s lost its shape but with a snip here and a snip there the whole thing is magically…

I was reading a blog post today about a short stay in Rome and you know I’m so jealous. So far this year I’ve used about half of my annual leave on doctors and hospital visits – I usually keep the leave ’til about now and use them for holidays so this year trips abroad…

Himself picked up the double CD of “The Nation’s Favourite Poems” and we are sitting here deciding which poem to listen to next. I have a definite softness for William Butler Yeats, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Dylan Thomas. There really is something lyrical about the rhythm of spoken poetry. Maybe it’s a good job I’m…

Today we ventured into Dublin city centre. Our bus eventually got us in through the hoards of GAA Fans. Our mission was to go to the National Art Gallery and see the Harry Clarke illustrations of Hans Christian Anderson. OMG but they were very pretty and talk about detail! Once we’d finished in the gallery…

I have just had a missing week. On Monday we got a call to say that my grandmother had fallen during the night – at that time it really could have gone one way or another but we all decided best to travel just to be on the safe side. We saw her on the…
