Did you see Ani’s latest unbearably cute cartoon? Couldn’t get this out of my head. I often imagined how Richard and his Mum sat together reading, answering, signing Fan mail 😌(The text is supposed to be funny🙈) #RichardArmitage pic.twitter.com/gpkpt4GErh — Ani 🏳️🌈🐒 (@AniNomori) May 19, 2020 You really have to look at all the details…
I’m not having much luck with the titles for my RAPS post. I just noticed a major slip on the Percy shrine post from two weeks ago. 2018 shrines? Jeepers Creepers. I mean, ok, 200+ mini shrines about that *one* bloke may already look bonkers. But 2,018 would be obsessive! Corrected. *Um* I have just…
A new week in this whole extraordinary time in our lives. How are you keeping? I’ve learnt another thing last week, in that my happiness and mental equilibrium during the crisis does not only depend on the state of my pantry (i.e. that it is well-stocked), but also on my creative output. I have observed…
LOL – as I was checking for the current number of shrines by looking at the previous shrine post, I had a good laugh. A typo sneaked in – which apparently no one noticed. Instead of the number “216”, I wrote 2016. Whoa, that would be an impressive number… (Have corrected the mistake in the…
I wrote the blog title and spontaneously abandoned the computer because I *had to* go and get myself a small packet of crisps. Craving for something salty – after *that* title. The reason it is on the blog today, is this: I hear you saying – why didn’t you hide the nasty advertising as you…
My slightly overhasty mail love project from last week has already shown some success. Two out of three letters have arrived at their destination in Italy. So much for my “lovely” post mistress telling me that no post is getting through to Italy. However, I still take the point that maybe other shipments by mail…
Let’s start the week with a bit of fun. I have stepped back from the computer a bit. It just brings me down to be online too much. Fiddling with paper and scissors, on the other hand, makes me happy. Also, temperatures have suddenly gone down again in Ireland, and typing at the computer gives…
Today I was the recipient of happy mail. Following Twitter over the last few days, I had already seen some lovely happy mail from Germany reach all over the world. Now it was my turn, and I was laughing as much as I was oohing and aahing over the lovely surprises Kate put into the…
A sunny and quiet day where I am. I live in the “professional” centre of Dublin, a historic square whose houses are mostly offices nowadays. Only very few residents in the 69 houses here, maybe 10 of them are occupied in some form. This is usually a bustling square, and since one of the intersecting…
Happy St Patrick’s Day, everyone. It’s a strange day today. Even though I haven’t been to the parade for years (I thought I had done my duty long enough, taking my kids to the parade for a minimum of ten years), it feels weird that today will not be celebrated in public. No fly-over at…
