A Cork Hangover

Ireland and the Cork Hangover

Rode parts of Ireland recently, had to write it down to make sure I remember it. 

Pt.1 getting there

Buses, the lovelorn, and a bit of hangover.

This is so good - c'mon laugh with me

Another month, another thought....(just the one)

Time seems to fly  - it really does - we wonder where the days went, try to grasp what has happened? - but really, in actual fact it is not passing that quickly at all...I mean, it's only been a month since my last note..... about the time it took this moss to grow on the picnic table (took this pic a week ago...)

Bloody Hell!

Bitten off more than I can chew?

I started a book club specifically so I would stop doing this … Four books on the go – that I’m listing here.  This is not counting the ones I started and stopped reading last year.

Comparative Government

No! Do not panic. I’m not reviewing a book on government systems from my Year 11 Politics class.

I came across this little beauty today, as I was cataloguing my book collection. I opened it up for a quick look see, and found something quite telling about why I have not been here over the last three and a half years.
