So, I was scrolling through the Groupon offers yesterday, because I was looking for a birthday present for my mum. She turns 70 this year, and rather than put on the customary birthday bash at home – in Germany, people tend to invite scores of friends and family for their significant birthdays to a restaurant…
This was exactly the thing that I needed to get back into blogging after the holiday. What a pleasant surprise to come across this Armitage interview by Den of Geek, tweeted via RAnet, this morning. Especially as there were some bits and pieces in there where I really pricked up my ears, especially when my…
Recently we discussed on me+r how and whether the political opinion of an the actor divides, unites, enhances or detracts from fandom. It fills me with much joy that I can write a post today that does not need the always slightly pejorative inclusion of the two little letters “OT” in front of the post title. This…
Message to the universe: Firstly, could you please tell TPTB to snap up Urban and release it? I am sick and tired of the whining, and I would like to see the film again, myself. Secondly, I’d love to know what is next for the gentleman whose career and underarm hair have inspired this blog. Thirdly, gentle reminder…
Little Miss Bling is now fully functional – and after the rocky start, we are now best of friends. Yes, like any diva, she took her time getting dressed. But once she was ready, there was no stopping her. She is smooth and lithe, the extra slim keys on the keyboard an absolute pleasure to…
Let’s start with a warning. This is going to be a much longer post than my usual Saturday morning fare. Simply by virtue of little ole Guylty being positively *starved* off the interaction she usual gets through Social Media participation. I know, I know, I’ve been droning on about this. And it’s not only that I…
Remember this picture? There are 2 (two!) Irish mint tins in this. Which leaves the conclusion that there is another reveal due. Like the ConnemaRAPSoid for Suzy, this one was also made as a thank you for participation in the RAPS for Charity auction. And since recipient CraMERRY was a companion on my second trip…
Before I get to the frippery flippancy of the latest portable shrine, let me pass on a message of thanks to you. This arrived in my mailbox on Tuesday:I am passing this on to all of you who took part in the Charity Auction and helped Save the Children! Thank you! As part of the…
A couple of weeks ago I took you on a journey through Connemara along the Wild Atlantic Way. But there is more beauty to be seen in Connemara, even when you are not on the Atlantic. And so I made my way across to the hinterland of Connemara again, accompanied by cRAmerry and Silverbluelining who…
Irish Week continues and has surreptitiously seeped into my private life shoes. Let’s stay with the visuals for a moment, if you don’t mind. No, not my feet *ugh*. But you might like to see some more of Connemara, and guess what – that’s not very difficult. Because Pilgrimage is certainly not the first production…
