I planted sunflowers today.
This might not seem all that important, but I did it not because I like sunflowers – they’re nice in Plants Versus Zombies – but as far as I am aware, you can’t eat them – I did it because of a project going in the UK at the moment. It’s part [...]
This is a wave from Couminole Strand. I know it as being near where the Ranga wrecked, and featuring in “possibly some few waves from Dinglesurf’s surf reports” I was there last weekend, and I took a lot of photographs. I loved it.
Why do I live in Dublin again?
I drove roughly 850km last weekend. I [...]
The price of me going to Brittany for a few days is that Brittany crops up a lot in my mind for a while afterwards.
Okay.
This is where I was 7 days ago. the photograph was taken from a beach called La Torche which is one of the more reputed surfing, and now kitesurfing also, beaches [...]
I did Mathsjam during the week.
This is Mathsjam and in Dublin it turns up at Against the Grain on a street which I believe is called Wexford Street, although at the risk of outing myself as still a blow in, I’ve never been entirely sure of the lines between South Great Georges Street, Aungier Street, [...]
Television today has been pretty lousy and it doesn’t look like it is going to get any better. To get around this, there are DVDs.
Today’s viewing, not shown by any television channel this side of the Shannon, included The Dish. It is an absolutely wonderful movie about Parkes Observatory in Australia, which provided most of [...]
It being winter, a new shawl is under production. It is being made of Rowan Kidsilk haze, the expensive version with interesting colour way.
It means that my knit group now assess yarn purchases in terms of whether it is as much money as Treasa would spend or somewhat less bankrupting. I have 100g of the [...]
As a result of the maths course, I have recently been in the market for a scientific calculator. Being not fully au fait with these things I hadn’t a clue what to look for but someone recommended I look in Reads for one.
Reads did indeed have scientific calculators, including mainly ones acceptable to assorted exam [...]
One of my friends was looking for edible glitter yesterday so we spent some time in Stock and Kitchen Complements not too far from Saint Stephen’s Green SC yesterday. I have spent much money in both shops when I did the skydiving altimeter cake a few months ago so I knew more or less where [...]
When you get the RER from Charles de Gaulle Airport into the centre of Paris, one of the city centre stations you can get off at is Chatelet and by miles of tunnels, when you get out there, you can find yourself in Forum-Les Halles, a large and very confusing shopping centre. No trip to [...]
This is just a piece of art I based off a recent photograph taken in Clare. I wanted something to bring a little colour to this piece.
Via Lonely Planet’s twitter feed which Flipboard serves me on my iPad from time to time, I happened across this piece. It caught my attention because I know – [...]
