I failed my driving test by two points. To add insult to injury, the office actually gave me a little pink certificate to prove that I failed. Statement of Failure.

Here are the photos from last weekend’s trip out to west cork… We went hiking on hungry hill, up to the base of a waterfall there. On the way back we saw lots of these old ruined shepherd’s shelters, which were basically a few stone walls constructed along the side of boulders or under rock [...]

stuck/unstuck

April 4, 2006

I think I’ve figured out the latch that gets me unstuck: doing something new. A drive to Kinsale last week with my friend Aisling did the trick – we just went for fancy coffees and gorgeous carrot cake, but I felt completely reenergized after that. Tom & I went west on the weekend and when [...]
