Onlinolised bird pics

The Rise of the Killer Swan
I've finally interwebatised all the bird pictures from Wednesday, but now I'm working on yesterday's beach (etc.) photos from County Wexford, so still no time for proper blogging.. Maybe when it rains, someday..?

Need.. more.. time.. for.. blogging..

Bray Harbour
I need minions. I take so many pictures that it takes all my time to put them online (I shrink them first, etc.), leaving me no time to blog them, and whatever stories might go with them.. Like now - I really need to go and get some sleep, and I'm still not even done with Wednesday's photos. It's looking like I might be taking a few hundred more photos today - but first, some zzzZZZzzz...

Monochrome teaser birds

Bray Harbour monochrome birds
I took some bird photos in Bray Harbour, yesterday, but I'm still working on Tuesday's pictures.. So, here's just a little bird teaser =)

Carnalway Church (did I just hear someone giggle?!?)

After lunching at Ballymore Eustace, we spotted some nice church ruins near Stonebrook Pet Farm. There was a local man who told us more about the ruins, and also mentioned two interesting churches / cemeteries in the nearby area. As we'd just been to Ballymore Eustace, we didn't want to go back to check the first place he mentioned, but we did go and see the Carnalway church and cemetery (a.k.a. St. Patrick's / CoI). These photos show the place with some added effects..

Tuesday lunch at The Ballymore Inn

These pictures are from Tuesday. We had lunch at The Ballymore Inn, in Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare.

Probably the most expensive risotto I ever had, but it was heavenly.. Apparently, the steak was perfect as well - exactly as ordered. So, if you like steak, you know where to go =)

Why don't they make summer tops with sleeves?!?

Summer tops Summer tops Summer tops Summer tops
I've been buying some summer tops from Dunnes, lately, and I've noticed that they don't really have anything available with sleeves. OK, you can get tops with sleeves, but nothing summery and nice!

I'm too old and fat to be wearing sleeveless tops, but since there was nothing else available, I've bought a few. So far, I've been wearing a cardigan as it's been sort of cold enough, but when it's a warm day and you can't wear a cardigan, then what?

In May, I actually did find one top that came with a separate see-through top underneath, which has sleeves (the last picture). It's better than nothing, I guess, so I'll probably be washing it a lot during the summer, and wearing the same see-through sleeves with all my other tops..?

Newsflash to Dunnes: Some people actually WANT nice summery tops with sleeves..

Blogger is f**ked again - can't reply to comments..

Well, it's a neverending loop, trying to post a comment.. When you submit it, you'll be asked to log in (although you are already logged in), and when you log in, you'll get back to the comment form, which now asks you for the CAPTCHA letters, but has you down as Anonymous.. And again, when you submit, it'll be the same.. Grrrrr..

So, if I'm not replying to comments, that's why!
