short sweet summers
Father-daughter road trip on a lovely scenic route up the Fraser Valley. Only took 6 hours and twenty minutes to our destination, including 6 pit stops and dinner. Luckily, we are of one mind about the pit stops. Nothing worse than disagreement between passenger and driver about the frequency of such things. Anyway, we arrived our cabin […]
try to see it my way
pernacious: tenaciously pernicious. Home: a reminder of the joy of quiet, company and comfort. finished some fluffy bed socks for Annie. She says they look like fall. I say they look like barf! actually taking vitamins to stave off this cold i’ve got. midterms are over in the space of 2 days I found some […]
enjoy the states
i am the bathroom cleaning expert here and about to head home for the weekend exploring more on the West coast!
it was locked
Did you know there is a red port-a-potty a little over halfway across the Golden Gate Bridge? Only construction workers use it now; it was locked! The Golden Gate was built in 1933 and the cables were spun by the same engineers who designed the Brooklyn Bridge built back in 1883! If you stop to look, there […]
the cycle
Back from Seattle and away at school again in the Bay Area, where it is “raining”. Some difference from the rain in Ireland! I have been plagued by excessive warmth; suddenly three-quarter length sleeves seem like a good idea again. In Dublin, shorter sleeves bunched up under jackets and left conspicuous amounts of wrist exposed […]

I has just stopped snowing again. And to think, at half seven this morning I was driving back from the bus station in Seattle and the sun was rising and the mountain was out. The rising sun backlit the Cascades purple peaks with livid pink streaks. It was all I could do to stay on the highway […]
she has a little list
Been out in the rain all morning, walking and getting things done and it has been beautiful. It was nice to have waterproof pants on though. I shipped a box home at the Oifig an Phoist. This way it cost 7.2 euro a kilo, but it would cost me 10 euro at the airport. I don’t think anyone […]

I LOVED what I saw of western Germany. We didn’t exactly plan this trip to Germany but it has been Wonderful. At first, I was only going to Germany for 3 reasons: the flight was 12 euros, two good friends agreed to go with me, I wanted to see Christmas markets, and I heard the chocolate is amazing. And […]
inimitable
First frost this morning. Freddie the leaf has been waiting for this moment. Curled and raggedy edges are highlighted in white. Flat surfaces are iced with diamonds. I slippy-slid my way to college and it was Brilliant. I am in studio, about to draft some stairs. I just went to buy some vellum. They call it tracing […]
