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 […]
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 […]
-isation in paris, part 2

Finally took off on a trip this weekend, it was a good dry run for traveling further afield. We took the train up to Belfast and spent the night in town near Queens. It was very cold. I might take a dedicated trip to Belfast, when it is warmer. Together then, we headed up along the […]
passing muster
Good things happened this weekend in every way. Munster beat Leinster, and I’ve been learning all about Dublin stereotypes. On Friday, my housemates walked down to Tesco for a full shop. It was fantastic, we split the bill and as a result, got to buy lots of fruit and veg and a couple treats, and still be […]
