Bank holiday war memorial Monday
I love the June bank holiday weekend in Ireland. Granted this is the first time that I have spent it as an Irish resident since the year 2000 but it evokes memories of sunshine.

Now logic would respond that if I don’t try then I’ve already failed – it’s just unofficial. But logic can be overrated. Continue reading Driving Mr. Murphy

It’s a funky, slightly grungy bar at the top of the street where a sizeable amount of money has been invested in making it appear scruffy. Continue reading Bulmers comes before a fall

Bruce Quizteam
So on Wednesday evening I attended a table quiz. I am a member of a drama group, and this quiz was a fundraiser to raise some loot to finance the production, being held next month. Continue reading Bruce Quizteam
