My little one is upstairs in bed babbling away. I am just catching a moment before her contented babbles turn into cries. I know that when I go up to her she will give me a giant smile. This makes me happy.

4 today.

I read in the paper this week about pregnancy causing absent-mindedness. There were many theories as to why, such as the brain shrinking, hormones and tiredness. Of course, I thought, none of this will happen to me – I will remain on the ball and alert. So why then did I pour [...]

Before talking about what a great day I had yesterday, I need to mention that something dreadful happened to someone else. At about 10:30 am yesterday morning I was driving along the Glenravel Road on my way to walk the dogs at Glenariff Forest. The sun was shining, the birds were probably singing, [...]

My furry babies are going to be getting a non-furry sibling at the end of September. I’m sure they will grow to love the addition to the family!

Today Gracie ate a 200g packet of plain chocolate coated ginger pieces and wound up with a very sore belly. I reckon if I had eaten the whole packet I too would have felt ill. But she is a 5 kg dog and I weigh considerably more, so the [...]

It’s about time I rejoined the blogging society.

So, what have I done so far this year?
I started off with a lovely 3 night stay in Hanna’s Close, Kilkeel. Days were filled with [...]

Some cheeky skitter has been bugging me to write some stuff here, but I am lazy. If you want to know what I did September then visit flickr. I’ve been busy.

I recall when I was wee, I got a pair of shoes that I loved so much I wanted to wear them to bed. I think I might sleep in my new boots tonight.

Yesterday morning I got a lift with The Nurse to Rathlin Island. The Nurse travels out regularly and is ferried over by local boatmen. In this case we (The Nurse, the assistant nurse, myself and Gracie) were taken by Dennis the Menace and Gnasher. Gracie the Vibrodog [...]

So, I am tired. Gracie is sleeping. Dave looks weary.
That’s what you get when you go on a mountain walk in the Sperrins.
I’m tired and I am invigorated.
We walked the Carntogher Way today and it was very enjoyable. The views were terrible, there was a heavy mist, the ground underfoot was boggy, [...]
