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 – [...]
The final of Bells Beach was on in Australia overnight. I stayed awake until 1am watching it on my phone until Kelly Slater went out. Following that, thanks to the garda helicopter fluttering around overhead for a while, i didn’t really get to sleep until about 4am.
Joel Parkinson eventually won the final against Mick Fanning. [...]
Okay.
This morning I did battle with a recalcitrant Apple third generation iPod Nano. It went white screen. I googled for help. I did everything up and including resetting the wretched pile of metal back to factory settings which on a 3G supposed mobile broadband connection is not the stuff of seconds, and gave up. I [...]
This is looking east on the Old Head of Kinsale, before you get to the golf club, the one that’s just In My Way.
Not too far away from there is a pub called, I think, The Speckled Door, and I had lunch there last Tuesday. It was a stunning day – I’d gone to meet [...]
Four years ago, more or less, I sat in my kitchen listening to live coverage of Cyclone Larry as it crossed the coast at Innisfail in Queensland. I have family in Queensland and I’ve been there a couple of times. As contact is a bit difficult when weather isn’t great there, my link to them [...]
Today, I went to Aldi. I did this because Aldi were selling herbs for 2.99 in really nice terracotta pots, 14cm high. On balance, this was a good deal particularly as they were including oregano which I thought I wanted and therefore bought.
I always wanted to be the type of person who cooked from the [...]
A few weeks ago, Kevin left a comment on the blog to let me know that I might be interested in this gig that was playing at the Seamus Ennis Centre in the Naul. Or Naul which is how it appears on maps.
So I booked tickets for myself and my sister and her husband and [...]
There’s a cupboard at home, where I am at the moment, into which stuff gets stuffed. Stuff has been being stuffed into it for some 15 years now and the last time I was there I thought it would be a good idea to clear out stuff. Old stuff, like perfume bottles, cosmetics.
So I did [...]
If you live in Ireland, you’ll be aware that there are a couple of memes that crop up from time to time of which the weather is one, and property is another.
Property is something I have had an interest in for 10 years, since I lived here, in fact, and discovered that renting in Ireland [...]
Treasalynch.com is being rebuilt from scratch. This means a new blog over there called Musings… and a lot of portfolio stuff will be going in there when I sort out some glitches relating to hosting changes.
The idea is to try and centralise as much of my web presence in a single starting point so that [...]
