That’s what happens when Benny’s not in college on his usual evenings, Lou forgets to have internet time in the evening and no blog gets written.
Anyway. What can I write about? Exercise still going well, though I had to dial it back a little this week as I was getting kind of burnt out, psychologically and the ligament was making it’s presence felt a little too. To aid the psychological burn out I found myself a little teeny tiny notepad to write down the myriad of ideas that are going around in my head at the moment, but some kind of order on them. They aren’t particularly important things, just recipe ideas (I had a roast aubergine, lentil and wild rice salad from Marks and Spencer this week which has inspired me to recreate it), things I want to read, research (I want to start making music on the computer again and I think I’ll go with Magix as I used it before and it’s a nice cheap but good option, especially as they have a discount on the kit I want) etc. Often when I have too many ideas I can feel paralyzed or like no one choice will be fulfilling enough if I settle down to it, it’s a perfectionist loop in my programming who’s grip I’ve been trying to gently loosen this past few months.
I’ve left it far too late to write tonight, but I just wanted to drop in anyway. Photo’s from Sunday’s drive:







Well now – in the village – that would be my little house at the end of the street on the left. However did you know!
Lovely photos, Lou!
thanks Kate
I don’t think they picture actually captures how pretty that village is, we always coo at it when we go past, it’s cute even by Irish standards
And what is the temperature there, Miss Lou?
Curious minds want to know.
It was 33C-below, here, this morning. Worse, with windchill.
Your area of Ireland looks peaceful.
Keep on posting those entries. The world wants to peek at life in Ireland!
I will dear. I’d say it was probably about 3 – 7c + that day, though we have been having serious minus figures for Ireland this year. It’s staying around 0 a lot during the days, but I think that day was a bit milder. 33 below, eepers.
Temp has gone up to minus-18C, which Scott tells me is around 0F. But you go by Celsius in Ireland, too?
Still pretty damn cold with a north wind, but a vast improvement over that other morning.
yup, we use the same numbers as you guys, I have no idea about the other numbers, but I heard Gary saying it was 17 the other day as if that meant really cold, so I’d say he’d love 0!! lol. Glad it’s improving, if that indeed is an improvement!
Here in the States we’re still using the Fahrenheit system. Here we had below 0 (degrees) for the past week. It was -22 C according to your system. But Kate (of the North) has it much colder, although I wish she would stop sending those Artic temps down to us! Enough already!
Lou, 17F degrees would be considered a fairly decent day here, lately. No, but really, if we got up into the 30′s that would be nice. Anything above freezing (32F) would be great! But this below 0 weather is getting tiresome and expensive for heat!
