I am still trying to watch the programme. My Mac won't download the required plug-in. I tried a PC the other night, and after patiently [not much] waiting for it to download to the desktop, it decided that it didn't want to play it after all. I had to use an internet place yesterday whilst …
Down to the Marrow
After my first three blasts of amatsu, I'm now down to a visit every month or so. I reckon I should have called in after flying off of Ruby, but I was so relieved that my brain wasn't dripping out my ears, and that I could still do simple maths, that I figured everything was …
Never. Again.
It was sunny yesterday morning. I began to project. If it was sunny, then maybe we could jump the course that I didn't get to jump the Friday night. If we were going to jump the course, then I would take Delilah. If I took Delilah, then I wouldn't really need the long stick, would …
With the Ade of Lucoz
BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!* I had forgotten about Lucozade. The bubbly orange energy drink is an old standby as regards the morning [the entire day] after, and whilst not in the same league as Red Bull, 380mls of it can get one through a low energy day. It is positioned as a sports drink, …
Wibbly Wobbly Wonder
NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS, IS IT ICE CREAM? I was kinda crap on Thursday, and though it might have been, I don't know, being rusty, couldn't keep my balance at all, but I had had Rebel on Tuesday and even though we had an ongoing battle for the bit, it was a good night, …
Oh, Man [Part Two]
Wading through pony campers to get to my kit bag this morning, a young voice ventured to ask: "Was that you on the telly last night?" I looked down into a girl's beaming face; her friend, over her shoulder, blinked, and blushed. "Uh... uh huh." "You were really good!" She smiled, and I... said, 'Uh. …
Today Fortnight
...which is a lovely phrase I certainly never uttered in my American life, but FYI: my first novel, Drama Queen, will be available for delivery on 4 September, here, and at good bookshops, er, maybe not everywhere, but definitely in Ireland and the UK. This 'shameless self-promotion' thing seems to be working. Ah, also FYI: …
The Best €8 I Ever Spent
So I bought a comb, brush, and pick at the horse show. And I'm not afraid to use them. Well, okay, I was. I'd nominally groomed the occasional horse, but never any of our schoolies. I had asked if it was okay, and it was, so last week, I started. Rebel was up first, as …
Thanks, Mr Television!
Geez. Apparently the show will be on the RTÉ website tomorrow, but I'm not sure if my friends overseas wiil be able to see it or not.
Oh, Man
When the phone rang kind of earlish [9.38 is early in my world], I sort of knew that maybe something was up. When I walked into the paper to be greeted with 'You're a star!' I definitely knew that the cat was out of the bag. Which begs the question: Why allow yourself to be …
