One of my friends posted this to his twitter today. It’s an interesting film, extraordinarily well made and will definitely bear more investigation of the related documentation and other work by JoeyL.
It relates to life for the Mentawai tribes. I’m far from expert in the area but I believe they are rainforest islands in the [...]
During the week for various reasons, including “I haven’t done it for ages”, I decided to hop off to Paris for the day yesterday. I used to do this a lot about 10-6 years ago because I had Altercations with hairdressers in Dublin where they used to butcher my hair, I used to cry and [...]
Why, when I was 18 years old, did it not occur to me to pursue lifestyle journalism? You don’t even have to be good at it. You can be completely clueless and irrelevant and still, the Sunday Independent and the Irish Times will pay you to write stuff about your life.
Alison O’Riordan is interviewing potential [...]
The last few weeks in chateau windsandbreezes have been somewhat fraught, including as they did, a housemove way ahead of expected schedule, someone giving me one hell of a fright on the motorway, and a very, very short, sharp trip down to Dingle.

Anyways, today I found the missing watch. It was a beautiful waterproof watch which I bought in Spain last year, and I consider its return to the land of known location as a promising omen for the rest of my life. I missed it and since I rarely if [...]
I like shopping for underwear. I like shopping for satin night dresses. I like shopping for swimsuits, generally. Unfortunately, none of these are exclusively adequate for the day to day living here. I need to move somewhere that I could live on a beach I guess.
Today I went to Marks & Spencers at 8.45. I [...]
Couple of vaguely Damascene moments in my life this week.
I am in swimming mode at the moment and to that end I have been using the pool in Charleville Park Hotel Leisure Centre. It’s about a year old and until Monday I had never been in it. It’s a lovely pool; I can’t fault it [...]
I’m looking for a 3 bedroomed house to rent in Dublin 9, Collinswood to be exact. I’m already in there; I like it a lot, hence I want to continue there. May well be interested in occupancy before end of October.
Garden shed desirable as I have watersports equipment and some tools. Two rooms will be [...]
