The Joe Duffy sketch on 96fm this morning, hilarious, he was interviewing a presidential candidate Nora and she wanted to build a wall around Wexford to keep all wexicans in my favorite is still the one where he had Conor McGregor on after he damaged the bus in New York and the bus came on the other line and was beeping mad and he wanted to fight the bus in the o2 arena Hello Good afternoon caller

Happy that when I called westnet they told me a new router is on the way and I should have it by Wednesday... This one has reverted to factory settings and is wildly erratic. Maddening when it suddenly goes off...

I was in the queue to go through security at Berlin Airport last night, making small talk with an English couple in front of me. French couple ask to skip ahead as they were late for flight. We let them through, they worked their way up another bit. Came to this German chap in his mid 60's. Flat out "Nein".

A few minutes later when he was next in the queue, he got kicked out & had to go right to the back on the queue again. No idea what the reason was. But Karma was well & truly served. Bit evil but we had a laugh at his expense.

Do you know the relief when you get rid of these definitely too long thingies on top of your head?;)




My ususal hair dresser is just refusing the kind of cut i would like. This is not in his range of aesthetics so he always leaves it too long. Yes, i want to keep my side parting, have my ears free and a clean shaved out neck. But i´m old enough to accept my reclining hair line and the in the mean time quite big bald spot on top.


Who cares? I seldom see me from behind.:)


So yesterday i asked a friend, father of two girls and two sons, if he could give me a hair cut with his long hair cutter. What is good for his kids is good enough for me. Ok, i don´t need one of these footsie under cuts like his sons. But just plain short hair is mine, ha.


He was a litttle bit nervous as this was a first time and somehow the aimed length of 17mm did not work out. We ended at something like 12mm and the side parting is barely visible. What the heck, i love it! The truth is out and i have a lot less hair left as my usual hair dresser made me believe.


I´m still not looking like Jethro from Navy CIS but at least we have nearly the same colour.:P


Absolutely TH with it and this ugly duck tail in my neck is gone. The saved 18€ will go as a donation to my local wine trader for two bottles of a nice fruity white wine.:D

Taking my shoes off at the end of a long day Bliss

Yer Da sells Avon

The colours of autumn. I had to drive from east to west Wicklow today, over the mountains. Everything looks amazing at this time of year. As an added bonus, I saw a red squirrel today for the first time in years.

Felt TH watching Great British Bake Off with a mug of tea and a slice of apple cake

Also catching my cats like this last night made me TH

They are declining in numbers Grace. Haven't seen or heard them in ages. Being out at one with nature is great.

Yes, I realised that with sadness.. One of our ferrymen is very knowledgeable about local birds and pointed one out as we were nearing harbour last week, and I looked them up later.

The one at the back here was so close to me. Enthralling. and the one, maybe the same, who flew over so low today...

I was for many years involved in recording Curlew numbers (I still do occasional counts) and the decline is in Irish Breeding birds. The wintering numbers are holding reasonably well and have been arriving back for the past couple of weeks. The bog beside me holds a few dozen in winter and Strangford Lough, Dundalk Bay, Wexford Slobs et al each hold 1500 to 2500 in winter.

A lonesome call and a beauty of a bird.


TH that the winter migrants will be a new source of enjoyment from here on in.
