How are we all doing? Heart rates back to something approaching normal? We are now entering the last week until birthday week – the calm before the storm? I am using this weekend to get all the final preparations done. Tick off list: finalise eBay item selection write eBay listings (so that they are ready…
Hello hello hello! This may be the last day of our current heatwave in Ireland, and so I am late with the round-up on this warm, sunny Saturday. I’m just back from taking a gorgeous walk with my son, to our favourite place, Poolbeg Lighthouse. And I thus had some precious quality time with him,…
It’s time I finally post this latest RAPS that has been sitting on my desk for several weeks now. The events of the last month or so put a bit of a dampener on my blogging activities, but with spring comes a fresh new urge to get back into more blog activities. My creative energy…
Last week I was thinking that Christmas this year is going to be quite different from the usual.

This week I slightly dropped the ball. After kicking off the discussion about the fundraiser last week, I tried to keep up with the comments but still haven’t replied to each and every one of them. An ongoing project. I also need to reply to a number of e-mails that have reached me – they…
Richard really has been throwing himself into campaigning for theatre lately. Well, with Covid wreaking havoc in an industry that relies on live events that are held in indoor spaces where social distancing is simply impossible, campaigning on behalf of the performing arts is badly needed and also very much welcome by those who enjoy…
Goodness! With all that excitement going on, I almost forgot the weekly round-up. And meh, I just noticed that Richard has already tweeted his birthday thanks. Um – fairly early in the day. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, the donations, the fundraising, the auctions and gifts. I feel very special. XRA pic.twitter.com/Wvva9JL8lZ —…
Hello on a beautiful sunny morning! With the sun shining, everything feels so much lighter. More about that later, but first I’ll give you what you are here for – the round-up. New header time! Let’s start off with our favourite knight, especially when declaring his love… Gifs by mezzmerizedbyrichard A nice little collage of…
