Destroying Sally Gap...

I used to love Sally Gap @ Wicklow Mountains.. It was one of the most beautiful places in Ireland - no sign of any buildings (unless you count the Kippure mast and some beautiful old ruins), the lone signpost, sheep, deer, foxes.. and the beautiful mountains in every direction.


And then, some feckin' eejit decided to get rid of the typically Irish signpost, replacing it with these horrible modern road signs! :O Honestly.. They have killed the place!

About ten years ago, I made a mock picture of one of my Connemara photos, adding American style motorway signs, McDonald's ad post, "Leprechaun Village" sign, etc. (I don't have that picture on the laptop, but I'm sure it's still on some old hard drive..) It was a funny joke, at the time, but it's scary how close the reality is getting..

Edit: I found that old photo;

IKEA Thursday, and Friday morning

On Thursday, D50 took myself and M to IKEA.


We decided that we needed strength, for the shopping part, so we started with a bite.. hehe.. Gravid lax was gorgeous, but not as nice as my mam's.. (And why didn't I buy more Daim?!?)


My IKEA budget was €50, and I'd collected all kinds of nice stuff in our trolley, but then I found a lovely rug for the attic, which I actually really needed as the "computer wing" floor was ice cold.. So, I bought the rug (€39.99), and left most of the other stuff as I had no money for it. I did get a lovely mushroom grey wrap (€9.99), and M got me those funny finger puppets as she couldn't cope with leaving them there =D I'll post rug photos later..


M gave me a birthday present..


Beads!!! =D I've actually used most of these already - the photos are not online yet..


We had cheese & crackers in the attic..


On Friday, before heading to Naas with M and her shopping (above), we decided to check out some shops in Bray..


This was unbelievable.. A Nordic walking fashion doll!!
I haven't shrunk my Naas trip pics yet, but I might upload them later today, unless this cold makes me feel too miserable..

Cleaning a bit..

The attic was a bit messy..


Getting better..


Done! =) (There's a new rug in the other end, but I've no photos of it online, yet..)

BOOOOOOOOOM

You Are "BOOOOOOOOOM"

You're the type of person who would be a very moody superhero. In fact, you'd walk the line between superhero and supervillain. Blowing up a whole town or planet wouldn't be out of the question for you if you felt angry enough. You are naturally a justice enforcer. Sometimes there is so much wrong with the world that it really gets you down. You can't help but want to punish everyone who's evil. There's nothing that makes you matter than criminals who are allowed to walk.

What Comic Book Sound Are You?

That "matter".. Grrrrr..
