do doo, do doo, do do do doo

Damn, looks like the hills are going to be riddled with extra people - Off The Beaten Track

Horses and the demise of my hard drive

It is almost inevitable that at some point a hard drive will die. This is why we are told to back-up our files, make multiple copies of them, make discs and keep them in fireproof boxes.

On Saturday I went to St George’s Market with my mum and sister. Gracie went to Cully and spent the day being chased around Pearlie’s mobile by Bonnie the German Shepherd.
On Sunday we climbed Slieve Donard and were rewarded with a bit of a view, [...]
