Halloween parties are looming large on the horizon and I have no costumes. At this stage, something homemade and inventive would be much preferable to a shop bought yoke.
I’m really of the opinion that Halloween is supposed to be scary or at the very least inventive so all those ladies who take the opportunity to [...]

I walked the length and breadth of Dublin city yesterday. For two bloody hours I searched for somewhere that I could have a desk, a seat and a nearby socket to plug in my laptop. It didn’t even need to have wifi cos I had a dongle with me.
“Simple”, I thought, “I’ll get a few [...]
Where in the world?

I took this photo on 25 September last. I wish I’d taken the time to get out my camera instead of using my phone camera but the view is still imprinted on my mind…the HD version, not this one
You’d never guess it was taken in the middle of St. Stephens Green in Dublin [...]
The Blanch at the Absolut Fringe Festival

Being from ‘De Blanch’ as it is affectionately known, I was either going to love or hate a show based on the ‘loveliness’ of the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and it’s frequenters. When I first saw Darraghs video from the launch of the Fringe Festival I thought this was one show I had to see. If [...]

Well a couple of weeks ago I was being surrounded by animals and animal stories, and the animal theme popped up again last week when I got the chance to go to Dublin Zoo to see the two new Sumatran tiger cubs there. Aww!
The as yet unnamed duo were born to mammy Sigra and daddy [...]

Folks, particularly Dubliners…Monday July 27…stick it in your diary, put a reminder on your phone, circle it on your calendar…for this is the day that Ikea will open in Ballymun.

New Homeless?

Last night while waiting for the bus home in the bitter cold we were joined by a singing stranger. A large man with glasses askew on his face, a woollen hat pulled down over his head, covering his ears. He was drunk and came close for a chat. A bit too close really. He sang [...]
Moeraki
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Dublin, Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand, trip on October 19, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Earlier in the year I took a trip. A long, once in a lifetime (though hopefully not ) trip around the world. I took probably thousands of photographs of the wonderful things I saw. At the time many of my favourite photographs were of stunning sunsets, tropical islands, beautiful coastal views.
But my favourites [...]
